Welcome to SCMSA

It is with utter pride and glee we, the family of SCMSA, present to you our LC end term report. Within the pages of this report, you will find that despite the usual hardship in every medical student’s life, we never stopped gathering around all year long, conducting products and organizing events, proving to ourselves and others, that Medical students have the most influential impact on their society.

With every intention of humility, SCMSA prides itself by being widely known for its aptitude of holding booming occasions, energized personalities and unique individuality. So, it is both our honour and pleasure to present you this quick overview on our activities through this whole year.

Yours Delicately,

SCMSA Board





Recruitment Campaign

I was responsible for the general management of the recruitment campaign .In the campaign we had a booth for each local committee in which every officer and his team stood to explain the committee activities to the students and showed them materials sampling our work over in SCMSA over the years. The campaign lasted for three days in the faculty halls. The recruitment campaign was a huge success with more than 150 new members recruited.





Local GA

After recruiting and finishing exams, That was the perfect time to hold a Local SCMSA GA. It aimed at introducing SCMSA in more detail to our new members and to share the board's vision of the new term with all members. Board members gave short account about their respective committees followed by detailed longer sessions all over the week with their teams (Which was called SCMSA Week). The Local GA was a huge success. It brought all SCMSA family closer to each other and gave out the chance for new ideas to burst from the minds of the new members.

Mr & Mrs Breastestis :

The National Workshop: was attended by the local co-ordinator : Manar Abdelaziz & Nourhan Osama El hendawy





local Workshops - We were careful to deliver what we learned to medical students which in turn will spread the knowledge about such an important issue Around 30 students attended and participated actively in the workshop. We made sure this year that the workshop will be all in simple Arabic so that the participants wont face a problem dealing with public about that information that might be hard to be discussed By the end of the workshop we made sure that the attendants completely got the needed information by making dialogues from the real life and testing how would they react to them. Local Campaigns : As the only LC Working on both male and female reproductive cancers, we made our own materials locally to be able to hold extra-ordinary public campaigns and to make difference to people's lives with very low cost.





The Male part : - Nadeen El-Sabaa was the one resonssible for Movember and she completed her mission perfectly - with simple materials and attractive tools we were able to make more than 500 of the target audience aware of prostate and testicular cancer. SCMSA-SCORA won the best Movember Campaigns in IFMSA-Egypt. The Female Part : As we know the terrifying statistics about breast cancer and cervical cancer, we gave so much care to this part, Although we got the national materials very late, we made our local materials : Fliers, Posters and stickers Our target audience approximately 300 women from : Primary health care units , elderly houses, commercial areas and clubs.





Pink ribbon stickers telling women to be aware of their bodies were filling ISMAILIA Streets.

Online Campaigns we participated actively in movember online campaign by sharing posts regularly and having too many photos with mustaches or male members growing their real mustaches ! also we had our local online campaigns about breast and cervical cancer that were all in Arabic and we made sure to share it with friends to spread the knowledge.





WORLS AIDS CAMPAIGN 2014 :

Unfortunately, late materials made us have trouble achieving our goal at this project by delivering its message not only to medical students but to the public. National Workshop : Was attended by the Local Co-ordinator : Ahmed Saleh Local Workshop : Was conducted through Dalia AbdelNasser Target : around 50 Medical and non medical students from other NGOs ( ENACTUS – Y-Peer ) the workshop didn't only include information about HIV/AIDS but also Advocacy Training was conducted by Omnia El-Erakey ( Certified Y-Peer trainer ) to help trainees to get familiar with the public idea about HIV and how to react well to them in order to be convincing and delivering the right message exactly to the point. Local Campaigns : We made sure that non-medical students will take the message back to their colleges and society to aware people and correct their myths about the disease and the diseased.





We Conducted the information to medical students as they are the future doctors who should lead the change and stop stigma and discrimination against HIV patients. Under the theme of new year's eve, we held The WAC Celebration making wishes to get to zero stigma , zero discrimination and zero new HIV infections.
