The National Conference on Malaria Modelling in Cameroon<\/strong>, hosted at the Solomon TANDENG MUNA<\/strong> Foundation in Yaound\u00e9 and Organised by Health Organisation Welfare (HOW)<\/strong><\/a> with its partners, began at 09h30 with the observation of a minute of silence in tribute to the victims of malaria in the world. After that, Mr Ivan MISONGE, Representative of AMMNet Cameroon<\/strong><\/a> <\/strong>Chapter, gave some practical details and an outline of the conference program before the welcoming word by Mr Isah Mohamed, Health Organisation Welfare (HOW) National Representative.<\/p>\n\n\n

Dr AKINDEH<\/strong>, lecturer at University of Yaound\u00e9 1, started by presenting the mission, vision, values and activities organized by AMMnet since its creation. Dr MILLAR<\/strong> continued with \u2018Malaria Modelling as a perspective for malaria control programs\u2019 in which he presented the work accomplished across Africa (Zambia, Senegal, DRC, Ethiopia) by his team to help authorities to tackle malaria through mathematical modelling. The first interactive session, coordinated by Dr ANTONIO, Pan African Mosquitoes Control Association (PAMCA)<\/strong><\/a> Cameroon Chapter National Representative, followed. Then occurs the first break of this conference. All participants were opportune to have a guided visit of the Solomon TANDENG MUNA Foundation Museum, take a family picture and have breakfast.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After lunch, Conference resume at 15h20 with Dr KUIPOU\u2019s presentation about \u2018Key concepts of general malaria modelling\u2019 during which he explained how to build a malaria model, how to analyse it and how to get some information from the outputs of the model. Mr KEZETA, researcher at Centre for Research in Infectious Diseases (CRID), told participants on \u2018How Mathematical Modelling can be used as a tool for decision-makers\u2019, Dr KUIPOU came back for a second presentation entitled \u2018Potential research areas of malaria modelling\u2019 and finally Mr KEZETA presented the \u2018Stakeholders engagement in malaria modelling\u2019. The third interactive session, directed by Dr ELANGA, took place after these four presentations.<\/p>\n\n\n
