HMSA’s Activities

HMSA’s activities are mainly in the form of Focus Areas and Projects that are executed and supervised by HMSA’s Standing Committees.

Focus Areas

A Focus Area is a stream of activities addressing a set theme that works under the Vision and Mission of IFMSA-Egypt. Having a focus area as an overarching cover for an area of the committees’ work provides a wide range of flexibility for us to concentrate on community-specific concerns or challenges they are personally passionate about

A focus area has a seven-to-ten-year proposal as a broad direction for us as IFMSA-Egypt members nationwide, as well as a diverse community-specific database of activities carried out over the years.

Projects

As a member of the IFMSA-Egypt, we work on the national projects that IFMSA-Egypt assigns; These projects reflect current movements in the national and global health communities. Furthermore, we may work on projects that are proposed by our members or Team of Officials to target our community-specific needs Projects have three-year proposals with specified aims and objectives, reviewed and evaluated after their duration to determine whether more work is to be executed or a transition to a new movement with a new project is required This work approach ensures project efficacy in achieving long-term goals

HMSA’s Exchange

HMSA has two Standing Committees dedicated for Student Exchange Programs: SCOPE and SCORE.

The Standing Committee on Professional Exchange

History

The Standing Committee on Professional Exchange (SCOPE) was founded in 1951 and is one of the first standing committees within IFMSA It started small, beginning with only 8 European countries, but since then has grown into one of the largest student-run exchange programs in the world, with around 13000 medical students participating every year from more than 100 National Member Organizations

The SCOPE exchange program is a quality educational and cultural experience organized entirely by medical students with the help of their medical faculties

Mission

The aim of SCOPE is to promote cultural understanding and cooperation amongst medical students and all health professionals, through the facilitation of international student exchanges. SCOPE aims to give all students the opportunity to learn about global health, and attains this partly by having its exchanges accredited by medical faculties across the world.

Objectives

○ To increase mobility and to widen the horizon of medical students worldwide;

○ To provide equal chances to medical students to participate in professional exchange, regardless of subjective, geographical, political, financial, sexual, cultural, or religious backgrounds;

○ To provide medical students with the possibility to experience healthcare in another culture with different health and education systems, and to learn how differences in culture and believes are influence;

○ To create possibilities for medical students to learn about global health issues, primary health concerns, and basic epidemiology of the host country, and how it differs from their home country;

○ To contribute to the education of future health professionals with a global vision and to contribute to medical students’ personal development, self-reliance, and openness in becoming future health professionals;

○ To provide students with the chance to improve their medical knowledge, their vision of medical issues, and their practical knowledge depending on the regulations of the host country;

○ To facilitate the connection between medical students and other health professionals and to provide a platform for future cooperation amongst

medical students with each other and with health professionals across the globe;

○ To maintain affordable professional exchange tuition through its governing body to ensure that medical students within the National Member Organizations can participate in the exchanges with a minimal financial burden;

○ To make sure students are aware of the ethical aspects regarding their exchange to assure the burden on society, patients, the resources and the healthcare system is as limited as possible;

○ To promote tolerance towards differences and similarities within health and towards patients regardless of their sex, religion, or beliefs.

History

SCORE was founded in 1991 with the objective of giving students an opportunity to improve their skills in research in other learning settings. Presently, SCORE involves more than 65 active NMOs, offering over 3000 research projects to provide over 2400 medical students worldwide the opportunity to participate in the IFMSA research exchange program and learn the basic principles of medical research such as literature studies, collecting data, scientific writing, lab work, statistics and ethical aspects related to the medicine. It is important to mention that all exchanges are initiated and coordinated entirely by medical student volunteers.

Mission

Our mission is to offer future physicians an opportunity to experience research and diversity in countries all over the world. This is achieved by providing a network of locally and internationally active students that globally facilitate access to research exchange projects. Through our programming and opportunities, we aim to develop both culturally sensitive students and skilled researchers intent on shaping the world of science.

The Standing Committee on Medical Education

History

SCOME was one of IFMSA’s first standing committees from the beginning of its foundation in 1951. It acts as a discussion forum for students interested in the different aspects of medical education in the hope of pursuing and achieving its aim. Today, SCOME works mainly in medical education capacity building.

SCOME provides several platforms and methods to educate medical students worldwide on various medical education issues. This knowledge empowers them to advocate to be a part of the decision-making chain SCOME believes in medical students as important stakeholders in creating, developing, and implementing medical education systems

Mission

Our mission is to be the frame in which medical students worldwide contribute to the development of medical education. Students convene in SCOME to share and learn about medical education in order to improve it as well as benefit the most from it on a personal and professional basis.

Objectives

○ Empower Medical students to learn about medical education in order to improve, develop it and benefit the most from it.

○ Empower medical students, doctors, and para-medical, with the needed skills they need to diagnose, save lives, communicate, and make the most suitable decisions they can as healthcare providers.

○ Provide medical students and graduates with the needed clinical and soft skills to further develop the healthcare system.

○ Provide students with the competencies and knowledge needed for reacting in an adequate manner in emergencies through regular Basic and Advanced Life Support workshops.

○ Encourage medical students to advocate for a Socially Accountable and Transformative medical education

○ Encourage meaningful students involvement in their medical schools.

Focus Areas

Better Medical Education

Medical students are the most important part of the educational process, so, they need to take the opportunity to lead the change of updating medical education and have a responsibility in improving doctors’ quality through the education process.

Social accountability is the core of improving and enhancing the vision and mission of education and it will produce a more competent health workforce to participate effectively in changing the healthcare system

Skilled Medical Practitioners

Doctors graduate from medical schools with a significant lack of medical and soft skills that expose patients and fellows to bad influence. This focus area aims to empower medical students, doctors, and para-medical, with the needed skills they need to diagnose, save lives, communicate, and make the most suitable decisions they can as healthcare providers

Projects

Evidence-based Medicine

Evidence-based medicine (EBM) is the process of systematically reviewing, appraising, and using clinical research findings to aid in the delivery of optimal clinical care to patients EBM is widely applied by healthcare entities and organizations because it offers the surest and most objective way to determine and maintain consistently high quality and safety standards in medical practice. The aim of this project is to contribute to decreasing mortality and morbidity rates caused by clinical malpractice by providing medical students in Egypt with the necessary knowledge and skills about EBM and how to use them in their studies and as future health providers.

The Standing Committee on Public Health

History

Medical students of the IFMSA formed the Standing Committee on Students’ Health (SCOSH) in 1952, driven by a strong will to take an active part in preventing and making policies concerning health problems. During the following years, the wide variety of activities led to the change of SCOSH to the Standing Committee on Health (SCOH) in 1963. In 1983 the name of the Committee changed once more to the Standing Committee on Public Health (SCOPH).

Vision

Medical Students attain the optimal skills and knowledge to contribute to their full potential toward the making of healthier communities in their capacity as medical students and as future healthcare Providers.

Mission

The Standing Committee on Public Health promotes the development of medical students worldwide regarding Public Health issues through an international sharing knowledge network, project management, community-based learning, capacity building, advocacy, exchange placements, and access to external learning opportunities

Objectives

○ Disease prevention within our society.

○ Health promotion and education within our society

○ Raising awareness about global public health issues among medical students and our society.

○ Advocating for health policies as the voice of worldwide medical students

○ Developing skills and knowledge of medical students as future health professionals

○ Working as an international team and collaborating with external public health organizations to use the potential of over one million worldwide medical students

○ Collaborate with other fields such as medical education, human rights, and reproductive health.

Focus Areas

Bridging gaps in Health (BGH)

The face of this world is ever-changing and as the world changes, so does Public Health and the way we, as medical students and future healthcare professionals, try to influence it. With each passing year, new challenges emerge and call for creative and innovative solutions, so one has to be equipped with the knowledge, understanding, and skills required to carry out important public health work

It is our responsibility to bring the issues we face in Public Health to our fellow medical students and equip them with the right tools to tackle them

Non-communicable diseases (NCDs)

Non-communicable diseases are diseases that are not transmissible from person to person. They are the leading cause of death in almost every region of the world, so it can be considered a global danger that can threaten people from all age groups specifically those who don’t know how to avoid it or protect themselves from it, so our role is promoting and monitoring global action against NCDs by providing people with knowledge that may help them avoiding these diseases or controlling them. Noncommunicable diseases (NCDs) kill 41 million people each year, equivalent to 71% of all global deaths

Projects

Mental Health

This project serves the mission and vision of The Standing Committee on Public Health worldwide and in Egypt. It has been in the spotlight for a while and several LCs are taking it into consideration This project aims to work on raising awareness about the nature of mental disorders and their causes, and explaining that they are like any other disease so we shouldn’t Stigmatize the person with the mental disease in addition to stress and burnout and their management which serves the goals of IFMSA-Egypt as medical students’ association working on the medical and awareness field

Climate Change

Climate Change is a global priority and that is why the United Nations established, in 2015, SDG 13 for this topic Unfortunately, we have to say Climate Change is still seen under the shoulder as if it is not a big issue The scientific studies, however, confirm it is an extremely important matter. We have the responsibility to raise our voices about the health effects of these environmental issues, making strategies and involving ourselves to make the world a better place. SCOPH, as the Public Health committee, must take action, and one of those, in IFMSA, is to be involved in activities, starting small, locally, in order to make a bigger change, globally.

The Standing Committee on Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights including HIV & AIDS

History

The Standing Committee on Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights including HIV and AIDS was formed in 1992, driven by a strong will to take an active part in interventions concerning HIV and sexually transmitted infections (STIs) and to support people living with HIV and AIDS through working to decrease stigma and discrimination It constitutes one out of the six Standing Committees of the International Federation of Medical Students’ Association which serves as the Body of all Medical Students worldwide SCORA develops and promotes medical students’ empowerment and activities aiming at improving sexual and reproductive health and rights led by students for the benefit of their communities. This is primarily done through peer education and training, advocacy, and awareness campaigns at all levels from grassroots to international.

Mission

To provide our members with the tools necessary to advocate for sexual and reproductive health rights within their respective communities in a culturally sensitive fashion. This is accomplished through building the skills and knowledge of our members, providing training on comprehensive sexuality education and other reproductive health issues, exchanging ideas and projects, as well as drafting policies, and working with our external partners in order to create change at the local, regional, and international level.

Objectives

○ To raise awareness on topics related to HIV and AIDS and sexual and reproductive health.

Focus Areas

Gender-based Violence and Gender Equity

Gender equity refers to the equal rights, responsibilities, and opportunities of women and men It does not mean that they are the same, but that their responsibilities and opportunities should not depend on whether they are born male or female. Gender equity is not a privilege but an absolute necessity as the only way to eliminate gender-based violence, which refers to harmful acts directed at an individual based on their gender, and preserve the rights of all parties. A focus area has been created to address all forms of gender-based violence, including atypical forms directed at men, and promote gender equality as the solution for eliminating gender-based violence and discrimination

HIV, AIDS, and Other STIs

This focus area aims to address all the STIs in Egypt and specifically HIV and AIDS, their modes of transmission, prevalence and statistics, prevention and screening, treatment modalities, and most importantly the stigma and discrimination around them that result in people not getting tested, diagnosed patients not getting treated and patients on treatment not compliant to it, and not to mention the reduced quality of life, suicidal risks and new infections due to that vicious circle of ignorance and discrimination, especially by health care providers.

Reproductive Health

Reproductive health refers to a state of complete physical, mental, and social well-being, not just the absence of disease or infirmity, concerning the reproductive system, its functions, and processes. Reproductive health implies that individuals are capable of having a satisfying and safe sex life and have the freedom to decide if, when, and how often to reproduce.This focus area aims to address all aspects of sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR), including advocacy, customs, and traditions, influencing behavioral change, promoting sex positivity, offering sex education, improving maternal health, and addressing the health needs of adolescents, among other things

Projects

Anti-Female Genital Mutilation

FGM is recognized internationally as a violation of the human rights of girls and women It reflects deep-rooted inequality between the sexes and constitutes an extreme form of discrimination against women It is nearly always carried out on minors and is a violation of the rights of children. The practice also violates a person's rights to health, security, and physical integrity, the right to be free from torture and cruel, inhuman, or degrading treatment, and the right to life when the procedure results in death

Family Planning

Egypt is the most populous country in the Middle East and the third most populous country in Africa, with a fertility rate of 31 in 2018, according to a study prepared by UNFPA using data collected from the birth and mortality registration system implemented in collaboration between the Ministry of Planning, Monitoring and Administrative Reform and the Ministry of Health and Population Overpopulation in Egypt has become a serious problem, posing challenges to the country's social, economic, political, and educational future This project was launched to address this problem at its root

The Standing Committee on Human Rights and Peace

History

The Standing Committee on Refugees was established in 1983 with the goal of paying attention to the challenges encountered by the displaced population and assisting in relief efforts. The members of the committee quickly realized that their efforts were only temporary and that a long-term solution would require addressing the root of the problem violence, conflicts, and human rights violations The committee's name was modified to the Standing Committee on Refugees and Peace in 1995, and then to the SCORP we all know today, the Standing Committee on Human Rights and Peace, in 2005.

Mission

The mission of SCORP is to empower and motivate medical students to actively promote and protect human rights and peace through advocacy; capacity building; awareness-raising; and supporting the students in carrying out activities and projects that contribute to creating a fair and peaceful world.

Objectives

○ Enhance students' knowledge of human rights, peacebuilding, humanitarian response, international humanitarian law, and violations of human rights;

○ Provide medical students with tools and skills to act according to Human Rights and ethics both in clinical settings and in everyday life;

○ Support and create activities, such as campaigns, capacity building, and advocacy, aiming to fulfill the vision of the standing committee;

○ Facilitate the Federations policy development on areas related to human rights and peace;

○ Provide members with the opportunity to advocate for the implementation of policies through inclusion in national and international laws and frameworks;

○ Collaborate with relevant partners in the implementation of objectives related to human rights and peace

Focus Areas

Gender-based Violence and Gender Equity

Gender equity refers to the equal rights, responsibilities, and opportunities of women and men It does not mean that they are the same, but that their responsibilities and opportunities should not depend on whether they are born male or female. Gender equity is not a privilege but an absolute necessity as the only way to eliminate gender-based violence, which refers to harmful acts directed at an individual based on their gender, and preserve the rights of all parties. This focus area aims to strongly address all forms of gender-based violence, in addition to tackling atypical forms of violence directed at men and promoting gender equality as the only solution for eliminating gender-based violence and discrimination

Health Equity

The World Health Organization defines health equity as "the absence of unfair and avoidable or remediable differences in health among population groups defined socially, economically, demographically, or geographically." According to this definition, health equity encompasses not only distributive justice as an ethical principle but also core human rights principles such as non-discrimination and equality, the indivisibility and interdependence of rights, the right to a standard of living adequate for health, the right to education, and the right to the highest attainable standard of health Our role as a human rights and peace committee is to support and promote health equity as a concept, which is why we have a focus area for this.

Projects

Together Against Stigma

Stigma could be seen in the medical field either towards the patients or even the health care workers Health condition-related stigma is stigma related to living with a specific disease or health condition Such stigma may be experienced in all spheres of life; however, stigma in health facilities is particularly egregious, negatively affecting people seeking health services at a time when they are at their most vulnerable Stigma also impacts the well-being of the health workforce because healthcare workers may also be living with stigmatized conditions They may conceal their own health status from colleagues and be reluctant to access and engage in care.
