It should be noted that the Marseille University Hospital Institute of Infectious Diseases collaborates in the field of research on Covid-19 with the Institute of Research for Development (IRD), a French organisation represented in Senegal. It is also a partner of the Institute for Health Research, Epidemiological Surveillance and Training (IRESSEF), directed by Professor Souleymane Mboup and based in Diamniadio, (30km from Dakar).
Didier Raoult, who teaches at the Faculty of Medical and Paramedical Sciences in Marseille, became world famous when his team proposed a treatment against the devastating Covid-19, based on hydroxychloroquine and azithromycin, which, even if it has caused controversy in the research world, seems to be the only treatment that, in Africa, as in Europe, is used to treat Coronavirus patients who are cured in the world, by tens of thousands, every day.
