I am an Associate Professor of Obstetrics & Gynecology at the University of Buea. Cameroon, where I was recently appointed as Dean of the Faculty of Health Sciences. I completed residency training in Obstetrics & Gynecology in 1995 and have been a practicing specialist in the field for 25 years. I presently work at the Buea Regional Hospital and Douala General Hospital, Cameroon, which serves as a tertiary referral center for the Central African sub-region. I am also a Country Coordinator (Cameroon) for the Geneva Foundation for Medical Education and Research in Switzerland, a non-profit organization that promotes and develops health education and research. My long-term research focus has been in the area of maternal and perinatal health. I have been involved in several research projects investigating surgical complications of pregnancy and the management of surgical diseases such as gynecological malignancies. Since 1996, I have participated in the design and oversight of maternal and newborn outcomes programs and cervical cancer screening and treatment programs at the local and national levels. In 2015, I collaborated with the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology at the University of Geneva, Switzerland, to investigate self-sampling for genital HPV as a screening method for cervical cancer in a rural setting. I currently coordinate research and teaching activities at the Faculty of Health Sciences, University of Buea. Moreover, I have worked collaboratively with several health facilities in Cameroon (e.g., Cameroon Baptist Convention Health Services (CBCHS) and Catholic Health Services, etc.) to improve health care delivery through education, research, and clinical care. Specifically, I mentor and supervise local and visiting Ob/Gyn trainees, including visitors to the CBCHS through the University of Alabama Birmingham-Cameroon Health Care Collaboration Initiative. I have also mentored fellows of the Afya Bora Consortium Fellowship in Global Health Leadership and collaborate with other US Universities (Universities of Arizona, California San Francisco, John Hopkins, and Florida). I am fully committed to supporting the implementation of the proposed project, “Harnessing Data Science to Promote Equity in Injury and Surgery for Africa.” Considering extensive research experience and my background in obstetrics/ gynecology and global health, I will be a senior advisor to Dr. Alain Chichom Mefire. I will also serve as a member of the D-SINE Africa Internal advisory board. This project has the potential to significantly reduce the burden of surgical disease by leveraging data science to improve surgical care delivery in Cameroon and other parts of Sub-Saharan Africa.
