At the Institut Marchoux in Bamako, there are Annual Medical Reports that are from the laboratory work of doctors there. These deal with treatment trials (1938-40) and the introduction of DDS in Mali. There are reports related to Public Health organisation in French West Africa; directives from the Consultative Leprosy Commission held (1946); communications from the Minister for the Colonies to the High Commission of French West Africa, and reports on surveys from the 1930s to 1950s.
A list (in French) of the files related to leprosy in the Marchoux Institute Archives, with further detail and descriptions, can be accessed here (PDF, 16 pages).
