I am a volunteer!!!! Hussein El-Sayed
IFMSA-Egypt Vice President Margaret Mead said “Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful com-
mitted citizens can change the world; indeed, it’s the only thing that ever has.”
I believed in these words since I read them and started to put them into action. I’ve been a volunteer for six year now through working with TSSA and IFMSAEgypt. Volunteering is not something that I do out of my own generosity, I consider it as a debt to society that we all should pay or we will only be just a burden on it. Throughout my volunteer work I gave my time, knowledge and energy but I received much more. Socialization is one of the priceless gains; I met new friends who provided me with guidance and support, I was introduced to important figures who offered me job opportunities and I developed my skills .Also I was offered the chance of travelling abroad. However, the biggest gift volunteer work gave me was helping others and drawing smiles on their faces. I’m a doctor, I heal people’s wounds and by volunteering in all kinds of projects. I m healing the wounds of the society. I’ve seen people dedicate their whole life to volunteer work. They changed my attitude towards life and taught me altruism, modesty and generosity. I honestly believe that Hussein Elsayed before this experience is a totally different person from the one writing to you right now. Thanks to IFMSA- Egypt I gained a lot when I gave without expecting anything back. I love being
a volunteer

A Story about an Egyptian SRT
Under the glistening oriental sun and over the beautiful Red Sea coast, IFMSA-Egypt held a memorable gathering of 80 medical students from all over the world for its Sub-Regional Training. Dedicated to the training of LEOs and LOREs of the IFMSA, the 1st IFMSA-Egypt SRT brought to together a series of workshops, trainings and small working groups in a collective program in a period of 3 unforgettable days joining sessions, workshops and parties you wouldn’t miss. The SRT took place on the coastal city of Ain el Sokhna right on the dazzling blue Red Sea in Amigo Resort to where the trip was destined on the 30th of April Cairo International Airport to small Red Sea resort for an opportunity to introduce all the participants to the global environment of the IFMSA. 14 Trainings to develop and nurture various skills members would utilize during their IFMSA journey ranging from communication and presentation to leadership and designing skills. The trainings in the SRT program were carried out by 5 great trainers who conducted various IFMSA training topics including communication skills, Conflict resolution , leadership, Photoshop in design, Intercultural learning and many other. Alongside the trainings held in our SRT, Small Working Groups and workshops were conducted including Academic quality, Marketing and advertising introducing participants to the collaborative process of producing the best outcomes and solutions to empower our Standing Committee. The SRT also included a Training New Trainers (TNT) workshop to introduce a new generation of IFMSA-certified trainers to go back home and provide their members with informative and exciting IFMSA training sessions that will pass one of the many amazing touches the IFMSA provides to its members. The journey was concluded on the 3rd of May with a group trip to the fabulous wonder of the world, the Giza Pyramids, and a night out with a dazzling view of the city’s skyline from above the metropolitan’s longest tower, the Cairo Tower. Summing up, the experience was a truly unforgettable one and the skills, knowledge and friendships everyone took home were those to keep forever.

Mohammed Abd El-Ghany HY Five National Coordinator
HY Five is a campaign for promoting hand hygiene aiming to increase awareness on the right ways of having good hand hygiene and its role in reducing infection. For example, In the United States, hospital patients get nearly 2 million infections each year. That’s about 1 infection for every 20 patients. Infections that patients get in the hospital can be life-threatening and hard to treat. Simply Hand hygiene is one of the most important ways to prevent the spread of infections So for this great importance, we decided as SCOPHeroes in IFMSA-Egypt to face the challenge, to unite the effort of medical students around Egypt, to work together in putting a limit to the alarming rate of spread of infectious diseases in Egypt and to give back to our community through HY Five Project.
7 We Started the Project 2 years ago on the fifth of May and most of our IFMSA-Egypt L.Cs Participated in the project in 4 Cities Alexandria , Banhaa ,Zagazig and Assiut Reaching a target of more than one thousand people.
After that, we prepared for the celebrations for the International Hand Hygiene Day in October 2011 reaching more than 5000 people in all IFMSA-Egypt L.Cs. But that was not enough for the IFMSA-Egypt SCOPHeroes Nowadays, we are planning for a big Camping consisting of 2 phases: The first will be in May 2013 and the second will be in October 2013 through which we will

Completing the
BLUE circle

IFMSA-Egypt WDD celebration - Al-Azhar Park 14th of November 2012
Whether they’re medical personnel, a patient, or just a concerned relative, the word Diabetes has left an impact on the lives of millions. With a decrease in communicable diseases and a change in ones’ life style, comes an increase in the non communicable diseases especially diabetes. Statistics show that in the year 2012, 347 million people worldwide were recorded to have diabetes. In IFMSA-Egypt, We decided to take drastic measures towards this issue. Fifteen different medical schools spread throughout the month of November all around Egypt to give awareness on the risk factors, effects, and control of this disease - in addition to providing free screening tests for the public. We targeted around 10,500 people, including diabetic patients, medical students, and at risk residents. On November 14, all the local committees in IFMSA-Egypt joined together in one of the most populated parks in Cairo, Egypt to give a strong effective health message. This way, we united with the rest of the world on the International Diabetes Day to help spread awareness and reduce the complications of diabetes. Our dream is to help complete the blue circle and fight diabetes.

Safe Liver Amr Gamal
National coordinator of Safe Liver-Hepatitis
When we talk about important organs in our body, we can’t miss that great organ which gets rid of all harmful toxins in our body plus sharing in the main metabolic process; it is our Liver. Our main goal in SCOPH is dealing with most of the diseases and problems that people around us are suffering from. So we, as IFMSA-EGYPT SCOPH family, have observed the disaster of Hepatitis (mainly HBV & HCV) killing many people and affecting a huge number of Egyptians. As a trial for helping and sharing our community in a positive effective manner against that disaster, we started a year ago by an IFMSA-EGYPT National Project entitled “Safe Liver – Hepatitis” in which we stressed upon many axes along 4 main phases; the 1st phase was a workshop for medical students and our team in the National Institute of Liver Diseases to train us and to get the most important information in the simplest ways to be delivered to the public.
Passing through our 2nd phase which was an awareness campaign among medical students, doctors and paramedical teams who are high risk groups for getting infected by HBV & HCV plus getting a great offer and opportunity to get them vaccinated against HBV. We are still working now on our 3rd phase which is concerned with public awareness among all areas of Egypt especially the poor areas and villages by awareness campaigns and conveys to spread awareness against this disaster. We are aiming to reach our 4th phase by getting a great international event about the most up to date and recent information about this disease for more protection and treatment for our future.

NOME’s Word
Ahmad Badr Mesbah IFMSA-Egypt NOME
As medical students and the future medical teachers and passers of knowledge, it became a necessity for us to be the first quality check of medical education.
As a group of motivated SCOMEdians, it is our role to continue fighting for medical education, throughout increasing awareness among medical students and advocating for change.
With all the advancements and continuous search for the best teaching techniques and assessment, it is our duty as medical students to influence the creation of new curricula and curriculum development.
We are slowly coming into light, and the seed of change and renovation grows day by day to guarantee better medical education.
The Standing Committee on Medical Education faces a lot of challenges, especially in Egypt, where stubborn decision makers continue to support a failing education system and a weak research and student development infrastructure.
Since 1969

Change is never easy, and with a whole lot of traditional minds and old-fashioned thinking, there will be a huge resistance to change. However, throughout persistent campaigns, education, awareness, advocacy and commitment, the medical education wheel will be pushed forward.

Carnival and Talent Show: As a yearly tradition, the Ain Shams University Students’ Scientific Society holds an annual Talent Show. During the show, you will listen to good music and tunes, interact with heart-touching poetry, and laugh your mind off at comical plays.
Orientation Session: We all think about our medical career, and we are always concerned about the decision regarding how to continue after graduation. SCOME will help you find your place around the different scholarships and the USMLEs.
The Quiz: Also to introduce some sort of fun we hold our campaign “The Quiz” which blends a mixture between fun and medical knowledge as we form 16 teams from the medical students and we start to play two games which are “Pictionary” and “Taboo”. We use medical terms in both games so as to refresh our medical knowledge besides having some fun.

Change
your job - Smile X
Alaa A. Ismai’l SSS Member
One day, I was wondering whether we choose to change the way we think and act, or whether the life changing situations choose us! Whatever the answer is, we always strive to reach idealism.
“
For me, the time for Change has come immediately after I tried to Walk like a real
”
Physician . The story began with a plan to visit to those whom we learn to cure: a visit to hospitalized patients. And there, I realized that patients need more than medication to be cured! Kids don’t need orders and prohibitions to regain their vitality! The elderly don’t need permanent bed rest either! They do NOT need cursory treatment! That made me want to get to know the patient, to get closer to what they need. They need to see and hear the doctor’s interest and love; they need to feel the warmth of his radiating smile. So, as a future ideal physician, I choose to change my job. Mine will be to bring SMILES. And for you, Always give the Patient your attention. Listen more and speak less. Always try to ease their fright and pain. Always keep in mind that a true physician treats the soul as well as the body. And always smile; make it the upcoming doctors’ lifestyle. Only then we could be successful, beloved and trusted therapists.

IFMSA-Egypt SCORP
The Cost of Life: So Easy, Yet So Difficult
Omar Mokhtar IFMSA-Egypt NORP
“Health is not mainly a matter of doctors, social services and hospitals, but an issue of social justice.” Indian scholar K. Park The most significant determinant of an individual’s access to healthcare service is their socioeconomic status among other factors governing inequality of access to healthcare globally. Consequently, the discriminated distribution of wealth and poverty are accounted for the most hazardous inequities underprivileged populations face taking into consideration that a slight shift in the global economic attitude can turn the situation around. About 6 billion people live inhabit our world out of which 5 billion live in low and middle income countries. The 5 billion suffer from 93% of the global burden of disease but have access to 11% of global health care resources. More than 40% of the world’s health care resources are spent in the United States. In 2001, 14.1% of the United State’s budget was allocated to health care meaning an average of over USD 5000 per person. This is some 500 times more than the amount spent in the poorest countries in the world. The entire international health collaboration only accounts for 6 billion USD (10% of global funding) which leads us to the fact that the greatest share of spending comes from individuals and countries themselves, alarming considering the socioeconomic hardships such countries most probably encounter. Accordingly, it is definitely an issue of social injustice that over 8 million children under the age of 5 die from malnutrition and mostly preventable diseases annually, and that pneumococcal diseases became the number one vaccine-preventable cause of death worldwide with an annual mortality of 1.6 million people. It is an impending situation which is further exacerbated by poor social policies, bad politics and unfair economics.
14 To address these health issues, the World Health Organization’s Commission on the Social Determinants of Health suggested 3 principles of action to face this imbalance in healthcare services: 1.Improve the conditions of daily life—the circumstances in which people are born, grow, live, work, and age 2.Tackle the inequitable distribution of power, money, and resources—the structural drivers of those conditions of daily life—globally, nationally, and locally. 3.Measure the problem, evaluate action, expand the knowledge base, develop a workforce that is trained in the social determinants of health, and raise public awareness about the social determinants of health. As an independent medical students’ body engaged in the efforts of civil society to tackle healthcare inequality, these principles are feasible for adoption to fully orient the public and direct decision-makers to responsibly allocate national resources to the sectors of population with low socioeconomic standards both globally and nationally. Empowering our communities to take action against healthcare service inequality using any means possible is essential to facilitate healthcare reforms already taking place especially in the developing countries aspiring to an undiscriminating and prosperous future. 85

Peace Mohamed Saber
National coordinator of peace Based on our responsibility towards our country and coinciding with transferring of the committee from SCOHP to SCORP, a peace project started under the slogan “give peace a chance”. The aim of our project is to raise the people’s awareness about peace culture, stressing on the inner peace of individuals which is the nucleus of the peaceful community for which we are all looking. The project started by a peace related questionnaire targeting about 6,000 students in 12 universities all over Egypt representing various intellectual groups to assess their concept about peace, then 40 IFMSA-Egypt members have received Peace TOT by MasterPeace (our partner) to begin spreading the message in our community in both universities and schools targeting more than 400 students using “Peaceo”, an imaginary peace currency.
We celebrated the international peace day in collaboration with MasterPeace and other NGOs who had the same vision. “Meet the Hibakusha”, a conference with Hiroshima & Nagasaki atomic bomb survivors was held in the faculty of Political Sciences and Economics in Cairo University at 21th of September. The conference was the main event in which we shared organization. On the other hand, other activates were organized by MasterPeace that we attended , like movie nights, dialogue sessions and finally the street art festival on the 28th of September which was attended by about 3000 people. We dream of the peaceful Egyptian people who can achieve our revolution’s goals, and recognize our righteous martyrs’ rights.

Ever dreamt? I did. Ever dreamt of what? Success - money - a car - a partner..
Local officer on Human Rights and Peace - ZMSSA
Ever dreamt of a world? No, never. Okay then, come dream with me.. I dream of a world where love is not mind controlled, peace is widespread, and human rights are life-enrolled. Why? Because whenever mind is taking over love, the deep hidden monstrous thinking of man can take over. Greed, ruthlessness, selfishness and all the recessive human attributions flow to the surface covering all the beautiful commissioner sensations. This way, peace will never be widespread and when this happens, war will be everywhere violating Human Rights.
I dream of a SCORP world because, you see, In SCORP we are making worlds.

SCORA, The Standing Committee on Reproductive health including AIDS, is a unique standing committee in IFMSA. It aims for the target of zero HIV infected individuals through raising the awareness of the public, especially medical students or other medical personnel as they are considered to be part of a continuous circle that we should stop, through education. Not just that, but it also fights gender inequality, empowers females to have a productive role in the society and above all, it fights the unforgettable nightmare, reproductive neoplasms! Studies found that the best we could do to fight cancer is through early detection. So, our main goal is to let people know the methods of early detection of reproductive neoplasms as breast Cancer and prostate cancer.

Here in Egypt we have a bad habit that has evolved over the years, Female Genital Mutilation. FGM is considered one of the most serious habits that is spreading in a malignant way in our society due to the lack of proper communication and education in the community. IFMSA-Egypt SCORA is fighting this myth with great potential; first, we trained over 350 medical students, and offered them all what they need to know about FGM and how it changed from being a myth to habit! And now we are on our way to the next step which is the campaign to educate the community and help them understand the consequence of FGM on females and how it is going to affect and ruin their family life. Last but not least, I believe that SCORAngels is a word that says it we are all angels coming with faith, love, life and equality! ;)

Bassant Adel Abdelaal
Head of PR – International Women’s Day Seminar
They say: “If you don’t like being a door mat, then GET OFF THE FLOOR!” Take the floor is the most suitable slogan to describe the International Women’s Day. It is very obvious that the life cycle of a female is much different than that of a male – both have the same beginning as kids, we play with no borders, no limits and no judgments. It is a total different situation as females grow up; they are expected to be in all of a sudden mature ladies with manners and zero imperfections to be counted as a good female. With such a vision of the society for women, they either turn out to be an unconfident, inefficient spare part, or they choose to be the society’s talk by struggling and working against the flow. The International Women’s Day seminar’s aim is to highlight how any woman can be the talk of the society and to inspire ladies from all age groups on how each one of them can be a role model! Women seeing others success stories, and how they got out of unbearable situations by the naturally built in power in them.
The stories are the best examples of what women are able to do. A good example is having a female president in IFMSA-Egypt regardless the strong presence of male power is a proof of the women’s power to achieve the highest positions. The amount of successful stories we are presenting in our seminar on Wednesday March the 6th will push you to the right track. The secret of getting ahead is getting started!
