History
1934, Bamako (Mali), as Central Institute of Leprosy in Occidental Africa -- Institut central de la lèpre de l'Afrique Occidentale Française, inaugurated 31 Jan 1935. This centre belonging to the French colonial health service was in charge of coordinating leprosy control in West Africa. Name changed to Marchoux Institute -- Institut Marchoux, 1945, and later became part of H-XD3021 - Organisation de coordination et de coopération pour la lutte contre les grandes endémies (OCCGE) in 1962. Subsequently changed name to Observatoire de la lèpre en Afrique (OLA), 13 Mar 1998, following decision of 42nd Session of the Board of Directors of OCCGE leading to the scission of the organization into 2 entities, with the other entity being the Marchoux Hospital. Ceased to exist when consensus was made to retrocede OLA, the Marchoux Hospital and the National Programme of the Fight against Leprosy and form Centre national d'appui à la lutte contre la maladie (CNAM), 2001.
