Fostering African Medical Journals With Raoul Kamadjeu

This is the first episode of a six-episode series that we will be realising once a month for the next six months. This special series is thankfully supported by the "Promoting Decolonization using innovative knowledge practices" grant hosted by the Center for Tropical Medicine and Global Health of Oxford University's Nuffield Department of Medicine. In these six episodes, we will showcase the contributions of six African global health leaders.

Our first guest in this series is Raoul Kamadjeu, a physician, co-founder, and managing editor of the Pan African Medical Journal. He is driven in all his projects by a simple motto - Start small, but think big! He got his doctorate in Medicine in Cameroon and completed his MPH in Belgium (Université Libre de Bruxelles). He experienced the broad spectrum of public health practice, from the district in Cameroon to international arenas with the World Health Organization and the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. He worked with the CDC from 2004 to 2006 as Public Health Informatics Fellow and from 2007 to 2014 as a medical epidemiologist. He currently works for UNICEF HQ (Public Health Emergencies) and is a Ph.D. candidate (Epidemiology), with the City University of New York (CUNY), Graduate School of Public Health and Health Policy. His expertise spans fields as varied as epidemiology, biostatistics, informatics, communication, computer programming, and project management.
