In the colorful bustle of Bamako, surrounded by warm smiles and hopeful eyes, something significant unfolded this October: the launch of DANALAC GOLD PRO+. Together with our local partner SOMAKOFF S.A., Dana Dairy stepped into a deeper commitment to infant health in Mali, bringing a formula designed not only to nourish, but to nurture from within.
Welcoming the Mali Health Community
From early morning, the grand hall at Hôtel de l’Amitié filled with voices: pediatricians, nutritionists, midwives, pharmacists, and health center directors all gathered under one roof. More than 100 professionals travelled from urban and rural Mali to be part of the conversation. Their presence spoke volumes: that infant health matters here, and that trust must be built through dialogue.
All details were taken care of – elegant branding, interactive product showcases, and thoughtful logistics. The result was a professional yet warm setting where scientific exchange and meaningful connection could flourish.
Conversations Grounded in Science & Local Realities
We structured the seminar around two guiding questions:
1. How do probiotics and bifidobacteria support infants’ gut health?
Led by Prof. Cheik O. Coulibaly (CH GT Luxembourg Gue), this session explored how beneficial microbes help train the immune system, promote nutrient absorption, and maintain a balanced intestinal ecosystem — all vital in environments where digestive challenges are common.
2. What role does nutrition play in managing colic and digestive discomfort?
Dr. Djita Bah (CSREF CIII) explained how certain formula ingredients can help soothe discomfort, improve digestion, and offer relief to families coping with colic.
Introducing GOLD PRO+: More Than Just Nutrition
At the heart of the day was the unveiling of DANALAC GOLD PRO+, a formula born of global research yet designed for local relevance. Key features we emphasized:
– A carefully selected blend of probiotics & bifidobacteria targeting early gut ecosystem support
– Enrichment with DHA / ARA, essential vitamins, and minerals aligned with international guidelines
– A formulation designed for gentle digestion, helping reduce colic and discomfort
– Rigorous quality and safety controls to ensure shelf stability and manufacturing integrity
Voices from the Day
One of the most touching moments came during networking, when pediatricians and midwives shared real stories:
“In my clinic, many babies come with persistent gas and fussiness. A formula with probiotics could turn things around.”
“I travel to remote villages — if a trustworthy product reaches them, it can change lives.”
These voices reminded us that behind every product are families, clinics, and communities longing for solutions.
