Abstract

RÉSUMÉ
L’attaque du 23 mars 2019 du village de Ogossagou a été à l’origine de massacres de population et d’un afflux massif à l’hôpital régional de Mopti. La levée des corps a montré les limites de l’exercice de la médecine légale dans notre contexte. La mise en application précoce du plan blanc a permis d’éviter un afflux massif saturant. Le seul hôpital de référence étant situé à près de 144 kms des lieux du sinistre, il s’avère nécessaire d’améliorer les conditions de prise en charge dans les postes avancés et centres de santé communautaires.


ABSTRACT
The March 23, 2019 attack on the village of Ogossagou was the cause of population massacres and a massive influx to the Mopti regional hospital. The removal of the bodies showed the limits of forensic medicine in our context. The early implementation of the white plan prevented a massive influx that would have saturated the hospital. As the only referral hospital is located almost 144 km from the disaster site, it is necessary to improve conditions of care in outposts and community health centers.
