Some 3 weeks or so before the 17th (ordinary) session of the International Bioethics Committee (IBC) in Paris, scheduled on 26 and 27 October 2010, to which I was invited to make a presentation on the Ethics of traditional medicine, I had been involved, as the chairperson of the Cameroon Bioethics Initiative (CAMBIN), as coordinator of the African Malaria Network Trust (AMANET) Sub-Hub (ASH) in Yaounde nestled in CAMBIN, and as an expert in my own right, in the organization and facilitation of a workshop on Health Research Ethics for Members of Ethics Review Committees and National Regulatory Authorities of Central Africa.
Coordinated by Dr. Odile Ouwe-Missi-Oukem-Boyer within the framework of the CANTAM (Central Africa Network on Tuberculosis, HIV/AIDS and Malaria) project, which aims at building capacities and promoting health research in Central Africa, this workshop was held in Yaounde, Cameroon, at the Mont Febe Hotel, from 27 September to 01 October, 2010. The AMANET (African Malaria Network Trust) was the technical partner for the workshop. You can read here a report of that workshop in English and French and look at a nice group photo of the workshop participants in which I bet you can easily spot me out. By the way, the ASH Translation Unit which I oversee is at your disposal for prompt quality French-English-French translations.
