Public health decision-makers and modelers will meet during a workshop co-organized by the Pasteur Center of Cameroon, the Pasteur Institute of Tunis and AIMS in Limbe on May 15 and 16, 2025.
A significant turning point was initiated in Limbe during the workshop organized on May 15 and 16, 2025, as part of the African Modeling and Analytics for Women (AMAX) project. This event brought together, for the first time in a structured manner, modelers—including mathematicians, physicists, computer scientists, and data managers—as well as officials from the Cameroon Ministry of Public Health.
In a context marked by limited resources, and faced with the major challenges of epidemic management, disease prevention and the overall improvement of health conditions, it became imperative to establish the foundations for lasting collaboration between scientific experts and institutional decision-makers in public health.
According to Dr. Sara EYANGOH, Scientific Director of the Cameroon Pasteur Center (CPC), this workshop was a major step forward in bringing together stakeholders who rarely meet. This synergy could lead to strategic decisions that are more grounded in evidence and modeling results.
Dr. Jules TCHATCHUENG, a data scientist at the CPC, emphasized that modeling represents an essential lever for analyzing the dynamics of disease transmission, anticipating the effects of health interventions, evaluating prevention strategies and guiding the formulation of public health policies.
Hosted on the campus of the African Institute for Mathematical Sciences (AIMS) in Limbe, this workshop also aimed to establish a framework for constructive dialogue. It helped promote mutual understanding between disciplines, identify health priorities requiring a model-based approach, and lay the foundations for an interdisciplinary cooperation framework for more informed and efficient decision-making.
