CITSa honors 3 Professors of Medicine

In the nebulous galaxy that constitutes medicine they were and are milky ways… To brave the pitfalls, the winds and the waves which mark the path towards the acquisition of the knowledge inherent to the practice of medicine, they have been and are beacons which still today mark the path of young people and enlighten them. . They remain models of integrity which, like an orthonormal benchmark, allow those who have their gaze fixed on them, not to go astray and to always practice with the greatest efficiency this art which they have hoisted by the strength of their abilities, on the original pedestal on which Hippocrates had placed them… The Conference

Interdisciplinary and Transversal Health Conference (CITSa) , whose theme of its 3rd congress focuses on “the interconnections between infectious diseases and chronic non-communicable diseases « marks a point of honor in paying tribute to the greatness of 3 Cameroonian personalities and academics, known and recognized internationally for their scientific work :
