Hepatitis National Campaign

It was done under the supervision of the Ministry of Health, USAID, CHL. It targeted university students either medical or non medical and aimed at raising the awareness of viral hepatitis (B &C).That was done through direct awareness in Cairo University and offering low prices vaccination for high risk groups as medical and nursing schools.
We distributed about 6000 flyers and 100 posters. In addition 2700 students took the 1st dose of HBV & 2000 took the 2nd one; two seminars were organized ,one in our faculty & the speaker was Prof. Dr Maysa Rizk &the other was in faculty of political sciences & economy and was given by Prof. Dr. Ayman Aamer.

How to Use This Blog?!

What is this blog? Is it yet another thing to read plus the zillion emails I receive per day? I'll just never open it again and rely on asking my friends about the news and activities of the SSS, this will keep me going!

Does this sound anything like you? If so, this blog is indeed for you. What is this and why has it been created?
As you know, in the SSS we have diverse activities and it is very hard to follow up merely on the "word of mouth" approach. That is why we've created the calendar to keep you in track of all the meetings or events in the SSS and to make the whole journey much easier for you.

This blog is a facilitator for the calendar; this means that if you find an activity in the calendar (scroll down for the calendar) that you think you want to be a part of, look for it in the blog. It will be labelled by the name of the committee and will have the title of the project itself. For an instance; the decorations team details will be found in the post "WAC Updates" which is also labelled "SCORA". Once you find it in the blog, you will find more details about this event, the contacts you need for it and how to join in. Didn't find it? Well, then this means that details are currently unavailable and a little info about it will be found in the post of the committee itself e.g. Anti-TB awareness will be found in the post "SCOPH Activities" until it starts!

What else could this blog offer me? Well, as a devoted member, you need to know the SSS most used abbreviations, missions, goals, bylaws, constitution, etc. All you have to do is scrolling down and there you are, links to download the important documents of the SSS and to visit important SSS related websites!

Ok, "sigh of relief," now I'm totally interested, how do I get started? On the right, you will find the titles of all the posts of the month. Check out the "SSS Groups" from the archives, which is posted on Dec. 07, and request to join the groups you're interested in (note to take: you cannot request to join the members' group unless you are an associate or a full member). Check out the blog periodically and now you're on the track.

No, I want more information! If so, then subscribe to the SSS New Members or SSS Members Group (according to your membership status) and check all the emails sent for more information about all the activities and more.

Thank you word goes to Rana Moharram, the ex-VPI for the academic year 2007/8 for her efforts in initiating this blog and keeping it updated throughout the whole last year.
I've the honour to take over this blog moderation from her, as a previous prominent member and a wonderful devotee for the SSS.
