Exclusif ! Pr Oumar Gaye, co-signataire de la lettre des scientifiques à la revue The Lancet : « Ce que nous reprochons à l’étude de Lancet sur la Chloroquine (…) Un protocole pour l’utilisation de la chloroquine en prévention est déposé au Sénégal »
La parution d’une analyse rétrospective remettant en question l’efficacité de la chloroquine et de son dérivé l’hydroxychloroquine dans le traitement de la Covid-19 a fait sortir une centaine de scientifiques de leur silence. À travers une lettre ouverte, ces têtes bien faites ont demandé des comptes aux auteurs de ladite « étude » publiée dans la revue anglaise The Lancet vendredi 22 mai. Parmi eux, le Pr Oumar Gaye. Ancien chef du service Parasitologie médicale de la Faculté de Médecine de l’Université Cheikh Anta Diop, ce membre de l’Académie Nationale des Sciences et Techniques du Sénégal (ANSTS), qui dirige actuellement le Malaria Research Capacity Development Consortium en Afrique de l’Ouest et du Centre (MARCAD), a accepté pour Dakaractu, de revenir sur les raisons qui l’ont poussé à s’associer à une telle démarche. Dans le même temps, le scientifique encourage le Sénégal à maintenir son traitement basé sur l’hydroxychloroquine et révèle à votre site que ses collaborateurs ont déposé un protocole devant le comité d’éthique pour l’utilisation de la chloroquine en prévention pour les groupes à risque exposés à la COVID-19.

In Focus: International Day of Women and Girls in Science
Science reflects the people who make it. The world needs science, and science needs women and girls. Today, just 30 per cent of researchers worldwide are women, and only 35 per cent of all students enrolled in STEM related fields of study are women.
Recent studies have found that women in STEM fields publish less, are paid less for their research, and do not progress as far as men in their careers. Girls are often made to believe they are not smart enough for STEM, or that boys and men have natural affinity for the field.
Despite these setbacks, women and girls continue to lead innovation and ground-breaking research. They have created life-saving medicine and broken the sound barrier, explored the universe and laid the foundation to understand the structure of DNA. They are inspiring role models for our future generations.
