In the video above, participants plan to make use of the knowledge to improve their performance in Journalism practice.


The ICT intellectual brainstorm organised by the US Embassy schooled participants on new notions on online Journalism. Coming after a show (VOV 97 conceived and presented by Amy BANDA) on 'The Web we want: Internet without discrimination,censorship and surveillance' Journalists, Techies and Embassy staff explored the power of publication, engaging audience online via text, audio and video storytelling, maximizing impact on news reports beyond time shifts and classical broadcasting.

The training ignited the famous conversation on censorship from others and self. Should the journalist air his or her views beyond editorial lines or should he/she should play the cooperate ethics game in the detriment of personal convictions?
Professor Corey Takahashi, from the Syracuse University in New York took the diplomatic stand: «In journalism, 1+1=3, the best camera is what you have at hand, I don't judge, but would let you guys know that in the US if you won’t publish for any reason, you can always pass the stuff on to a colleague..." Excel Asama, CEO of I-Vission International had a different conception from some of the participants on the theory of freedom of expression and financial dependency. He refused to take back home the opinion that "if you don't have money, just publish what the big boys and the establishments want" he argued further that fear and ignorance are two adjacent illusions that will always obstruct a man from reaching personal convictions and that those who succeed in journalism today are independent and motivated and not dependent and oppressed.

Promoting Net Neutrality in Cameroon

A capacity building seminar was organized in Douala-Cameroon on the 18^th of July 2014 at hotel Lewat by I-Vission International with the theme: Promoting Net Neutrality through multi stakeholder capacity building and dialogue. Forty two participants were trained on the concept of Net Neutrality including its historical background, how to detect abuse, its importance and impact if not maintained.

This is one in a series of seminars to be organized in a project funded by the Web we Want campaign. 

Excel Asama saluted the presence of the Regional delegate of the Post and Telecommuiation Mr Bassirou for his perpetual support and concern in the development of ICTs in Cameroon. The project manager of www.ici.cm  platform, Marc Ngiamba was also part of the show.

Do Nurses Need State Registration Numbers to make it abroad?

Nurses make up 80% of the Health care system. Their Attitude makes the whole difference, the reason why we pay much attention on building the character traits of our trainees at the St Louis University Institute of Health & biomedical Sciences. They must reflect love, service, empathy & altruism to fit in a team and understanding others is something our students master at St Louis Higher Institute of Health & Biomedical Sciences.

After travelling to many Countries in Africa & the globe, I have noticed that the health system of Cameroon still suffers an acute lack at the level of diagnosis and technology. Many trained technicians are not mature to handle health concerns at their disposal. The trends can only be reversed if economic opportunities are created to stop the brain drain. The medical migration of trained nurses can only be a push factor for patients to fly abroad for specific medical attention.

We must understand that the quality of training matters and certificates without Attitude, Honesty, the sense of common good, to name this, is as dangerous as the canker worm 'Corruption' robbing us of every priceless we still hold in our society today. We do not lead people, we do not push people, we help people walk the path that matches their purpose of living. We discover your passion with you and we encourage honesty, self esteem, discipline, prayer & the respect of the environment to help you understand the value of work that is well done.

The improvement can be efficient if the Central Nursing Council & the Public Health Ministry provide a standardized training curriculum for all nursing students in the different nursing institutions of the Republic of Cameroon.

VOV 94 PICS

The crucial lack of Information, Professionalism in the nursing field and standardized curriculum are major factors ruining the healthcare sector of Cameroon.

Reports have it that the Central Nursing Council is not strong enough.

People should learn to specify and sharpen skills in field of specialisation. As a specialist, the technician can help better. There is a huge lack of cancer health nurses, psychiatric nurses, family care, to name these to appropriately handle the specific health needs of patients.
