We acknowledge that your interest and comments have been invaluable to our editorial work and so we hereby pledge our commitment to continue this initiative that ushers in a new era of hardwork, creativity and results that will accompany our country on the difficult path towards development. Things will never be the same again. H HEALTH FOR ALL has been a bestselling slogan and dream for so many decades in Cameroon like in other countries. While we all see Health For All as an achievement that permits everyone to get care in order to prevent or treat most common ailments at affordable prices, we still observe that despite all the individual, collective and government efforts aimed at improving on healthcare delivery systems , so many obstacles imposed by more communicable and non-communicable diseases still exist in an environment marked by poverty. In this Issue, we run to a few dedicated health practitioners for rescue. Our first stop is Daytona Beach in Florida where we find Dr. Philip NDUM, an oncologist and hematologist, to give us an insight into the reasons that account for his success in practice as well as get his bits of analysis and ad- vice on most health problems that we face today. We join health decision makers from all over Africa in the 58th Session of WHO Africa Region Committee holding in Yaounde to learn more about Africa’s growing health challenges and efforts to meet them. One of such challenges is, of course, MALARIA. Our interest in Yaounde is also aroused by a one day conference on African Traditional Medicine. We are impressed by efforts made by Governments to integrate traditional medicine into modern medicine since more than 60 percent of Africa’s population still has recourse to traditional solutions to their health problems. Dr. Philip NDUM’s expert opinions on some non-communicable diseases inspire us to stop for a moment on Breast Cancer and examine its growing threat on the health of especially young women of African descent. We remember the 1978 Alma-Ata Declaration on Primary Health Care and meet one of Africa’s greatest icons in Medicine, Professor Gottlieb Lobe Monekosso, to share his most interesting moments as a talented health professional and administrator throughout his very long period of service and awesome achievements. At the Tiko District Hospital, Dr. EBONG Charles EWANG gives us an insight into the challenges that most health practitioners face in different health institutions in Cameroon. His opinions on several health issues are just so enriching. A few kilometers away, at the foot of Mount Fako, Madam OMAM Esther explains to us how she and the hardworking staff of REACH OUT set out strategies to support underprivileged groups in the community with emphasis on good reproductive health and economic empowerment among youth and women. Next, we accompany the Presidential Couple to New York and Quebec and also join in celebrating the achievements of tal- ented Cameroonians like EBEN ARMSTRONG, FRANCOISE MBANGO ETONE, LADY KATE NJEUMA. We also join in celebrating Prince BELDON’S First Birthday in Colorado, before attending the African workshop on Governance in the Transport Sector organised in Yaounde. Dear Reader, Part of our hopes for African Development lies with the US Presidential Elections and BARACK Tonge B. Ebai OBAMA is our Choice! Enjoy Your Reading.

Medicine can be a vocation or a profession. Which is it for you? From the very early days of my training, I had a constant reminder from my professors that the only rest one could get as a physician would be in the grave. You come to realize quickly that illness has no timing and that your services could be needed at any hour of the day. If you have compassion for your patients like I do, you feel the compulsion to be there when you are needed to make life changing decisions. Now, when my patients ask when I will have a vacation, I tell them my vocation is my vacation. Nothing gives me more real pleasure than the satisfaction of having done my best and seeing an excellent outcome. What inspired you to begin work in this field? Strangely enough, for as long as I could remember, I always wanted to be a physician. Maybe the suffering that I saw growing up, gave me the drive. From my Shisong Hospital for almost 2 years before coming to the United States in days in primary school, I was called 'Docteur' by my friends. My decision to 1996.

I know what many of my African colleagues have gone through to get assimilated in this system. I will not ask when I will have trivialize their struggles by stating the irrelevant. If I must say anything, my chal- lenges have been at a personal level. I got married at 21 while in medical school and quickly had two children. Most friends and family thought I must be crazy vacation, I tell them my then, and juggling family life and medical school was an experience I would not like to repeat.

Dissertations - ALL. 822. https://surface.syr.edu/etd/822 This Dissertation is brought to you for free and open access by the SURFACE at SURFACE. It has been accepted for inclusion in Dissertations - ALL by an authorized administrator of SURFACE. For more information, please contact [email protected]. Abstract Approximately one quarter of Zimbabwean adults left their country of birth during the past twenty years. These sojourners are increasingly dispersed as tightening immigration regimes in preferred destinations and fluctuating global opportunities lead them to places with fewer historical links to Zimbabwe. This dispersive process fractures many families between multiple international locations. Nevertheless, the idea of family remains centrally important to diasporans, who work with relatives around the world to care for children and elders, to acquire important documents like passports, and to prepare for an eventual return home. Following from performative and relational theorizations of kinship, this dissertation argues that collaborative projects are crucibles in which families are forged and reconfigured. This exploration of how dispersion shapes family life deploys three analytical lenses: history, space and technology. Contemporary journeys are historically linked to a century of dispossession and labor-migration in Southern Africa. Colonial governments used onerous “bioinformational regimes” to subjugate Africans and profit from their labor.

  • The Concept of Skin Bleaching and Body Image Politics in Kenya
    “FAIR AND LOVELY”: THE CONCEPT OF SKIN BLEACHING AND BODY IMAGE POLITICS IN KENYA Joyce Khalibwa Okango A Thesis Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF ARTS August 2017 Committee: Jeffery A Brown, Advisor Jeremy Wallach Esther Clinton © 2017 Enter your First and Last Name All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT Jeffrey Brown, Advisor The practice of skin bleaching or chemically lightening of skin has become a worldwide concern particularly in the past three decades. In Africa, these practices are increasingly becoming problematic due to the circumstances surrounding the procedure and the underlying health risks. Despite these threats, skin bleaching and other body augmentation procedures remain prevalent around the world. This thesis uses a multipronged approach in examining the concept of skin bleaching and body image politics in Kenya. I argue that colonial legacies, globalization, increase in the use of technology, and the digitization of Kenya television broadcasting has had a great impact on the spread and shift of cultures in Kenya resulting to such practices. I will also look at the role of a commercial spaces within a city in enabling and providing access to such practices to middle and lower class citizens. Additionally, this study aims at addressing the importance of decolonizing Kenyans concerning issues surrounding beauty and body image. iv This thesis is a special dedication to loving father, for believing in girl child education and sacrificing everything to see me succeed. For setting the bar so high for me and cheering me on as I made every stride.
