It is with great sadness and deep emotion that we learned of the death on Saturday 09 June in Marseille of Pr Ogobara Doumbo.
Born in Mali in the Dogon ethnic group, Professor Doumbo held two medical theses, one in France and the other one in Mali. A specialist in parasitology, he was recognized worldwide for his contribution to advances in research in the field of malaria epidemiology and pathogenesis.
