Our history
A story written together
From a few shared convictions to a structured association: these are the steps that shaped CFRTM-AKILI.
Our journey
From a shared conviction to a structured association
CFRTM-AKILI grew out of a conviction shared by health professionals, engineers and researchers: health technologies only truly serve patients when they are mastered, evaluated and adapted to local realities.
Through meetings and first projects, this conviction took shape as a non-profit association based in Bobo-Dioulasso. Its revised statutes now organise its work around five areas: training, research, scientific services, mentoring, and entrepreneurship and valorisation.
