An Incredible Experience Leading the First Aid Team at True Life International Medical Outreach in Bastos, Yaoundé!

I had an amazing time leading the True Life International Medical Outreach first AID during a recent event in Bastos, Yaoundé. This experience allowed me to put my skills as a certified First Aid member of the Cameroon Red Cross into action. Having earned my First Aid Member’s Certificate from the since 2018(5years ago) , I felt honored and prepared to support the community.

It was also an exiting moment and an honor to meet and engage with some of Cameroon’s most distinguished medical professionals.

I was especially honored to meet Dr. Lydie N. , a specialist in Endocrinology and Diabetes with over 20 years of practice in the USA, and her uncle Professor Jean Claude , a Professor of Medicine and Endocrinology, whose unmatched contributions to the field of diabetes have had a profound impact in Cameroon and beyond.

Our conversation left me both excited and eager to explore opportunities for collaboration. There is so much potential to work alongside these great minds to advocate for better health outcomes in our nation. Together, we can lay the groundwork for a healthier future for all.

It’s still October, the pink month, and we cannot stay silent about men and breast cancer.

Can men have breast cancer without breasts? Yes, men do have breast tissue, which means they can also develop breast cancer. While approximately 99% of breast cancer cases occur in women, 0.5% to 1% of cases affect men.

The treatment of breast cancer in men follows the same principles of management as in women. Early detection and treatment are crucial for both genders.

Spread the word awareness can save lives. Stay safe, get checked, and take action early.

BALANCING WORK AND LIFE FOR HEALTH PROFESSIONALS AND EVERYONE

In my medical practice, I've seen how easily health professionals can neglect their own well-being, leading to stress and burnout. Maintaining a work-life balance is essential. Here are some key tips:

1. Take Time Off: Rest and spend time with loved ones to recharge.
2. Exercise Regularly: Aim for 90-150 minutes of aerobic exercise weekly.
3. Maintain Proper Nutrition:Stay hydrated, enjoy your meals, and eat a balanced diet rich in vitamins and minerals.
4. Reward Yourself: Treat yourself with vacations or gifts to maintain a healthy balance.

Taking these steps has significantly improved my energy levels and reduced stress. Implementing these practices can help you too. Remember, taking care of yourself is just as important as taking care of others.

🧠 Education and Awareness: Informing our youths about the real risks and consequences of drug use.
