CAMDOCUK REPORT OF ANNUAL 2022

Statement from Chairperson (Dr Linda Bello)

After a challenging year in which we had to all adapt to our new normal. This year saw us being able to return to our face-to-face activities in particular our gala which is one of the main ways we raise funds.

I was grateful for the fantastic turn out at the event where we had 220 guests. This enabled us to have a successful fundraising. My thanks to the Social Committee for a fantastic event in which were sold out for the first time.

I sent out detailed reports to all our donors who had contributed to our PPE project and sent videos of the PPE being delivered. We were also featured on TV in Cameroon for our good work. A special thanks again to HERO Cameroon for collaborating with us.

We continued our series of Webinars – Camdocuk talking with the community. We also successfully secured books for the medical library in the University of Dschang via the BMA.

A special thanks to my executive team for all their hard work and to our members. I have always said that what we lack in numbers we more than make up for with commitment and passion.

A. Meetings held this year

CamDocUK normally holds 3 meetings a year – two ordinary meetings and a general assembly. The latter is usually accompanied by a gala event. 2 OGMs were held in September 2021 and March 2022, and an AGM in July 2022. Our OGM normally holds on the first Saturday of March and October, however, due to logistic issues, it was agreed by the executive to have a September meeting instead.

The AGM, which is our biggest meeting held at Chesford Grange Hotel, Warwickshire. An external speaker, Prof Alan graced the event by a keynote speech – “ Investing in Children`s Nutrition for Adult Wellbeing and National Development in Africa”.

This was followed by a fund-raising gala. This year`s fundraising theme was a general support towards the community activities that CamDocUK has been spearheading, as described in this report.

B. MOU and Partnership updates

Wee maintained our existing MOUs:

HERO Cameroon– Health Education and Research Organisation. A dynamic Cameroon-based organisation active in the public health sector in Cameroon. HERO ran our PPE project. 2. Ensemble Manchester: We have partnered with the Manchester-based organisation in community nutrition projects.
We remain registered members of Better Health for Africa (BH4A), a UKbased organisation that aims to convene diaspora-based healthcare practitioners for the improvement of public health in Africa.
University of Buea: We have been in talks with the dean of the faculty of health sciences to facilitate exchange of knowledge and help with its teaching curriculum. This has not been an easy task due to political backlogs, however, the dean has been proactive at enabling this project. We had a huge donation at the 2022 fundraising gala particularly aimed at educational activities in Cameroon.
BAPIO: Together with BAPIO and other UK-based associations of international health professionals, we have been instrumental in improving the government`s public health response to COVID-19, and ensuring the voices of black and minority ethnic groups are heard during COVID-19 enquiries. BAME groups experienced the highest mortality rates during the pandemic and we have been providing our support to the government regarding this.
MMPF: As is often the case, 2 of our members represented CamDocUK at the MMPF medical mission in Cameroon, where medical care was provided free of charge to underpriviledged populations. We also donated medical equipment and medicines in support of the medical mission.
University of Dschang.

Other informal partnerships with sister organisations in Europe.

C. EDUCATIONAL ACTIVITIES

Our annual paid zoom account has enabled us run educational webinars for the Cameroonian and African communities. We continue to run regular webinars on various topics that are deemed beneficial to the public. BAME populations have some of the highest mortality rates, and so after sampling opinions from the public, we have run several webinars specifically targeting these. The series is themed: “Talking with the community”. Topics include: Physical activity and exercise in Covid-19 times, Menopause, Men`s Health. We plan to make these a monthly affair.

We have also held in-house educational activities such as journal club, where we not only discuss topics on research, but also support international doctors in improving their practice in the UK.

D. Finance

Full report available in separate report on the website of the charity commission.

E. Cameroon Medical Council (CMC) Updates

The vice president of Cameroon Medical Council attended our AGM virtually, where admission of UK-based doctors to the CMC was discussed. This is work in progress, and all parties agreed this would facilitate future collaborations and medical missions to Cameroon.

CMC UK also now has a cloud repository of documents.

F. MEMBERSHIP UPDATES
