The Foundation for Emerging Nations (FEN) was launched in March 2016. Therefore it will be some months before descriptions can be given of projects that have been supported by a FEN project grant. Projects are described under three headings:
PROJECT 1. ‘LAB SURFING’: A RESOURCE TO FACILITATE GLOBAL EXCHANGE BETWEEN YOUNG SCIENTISTS
PROJECT 3. ‘AFCC AFRICA MEDLAB RADIO’
Project 1: LAB SURFING final report - July 2017
Project 2: 'ADOPT A PROFESSIONAL'. Report from Lumbani Phiri from Zambia
Project 3: 'ADOPT A PROFESSIONAL'. Report from José Guillermo Pereira Brunelli from Paraguay
Project 4: ‘MALARIA MICROSCOPY IN ETHIOPIA’. Technical report from Desalegn Nega and colleagues
Project 5: 'FEN-SNIBE SUPPORT A PROFESSIONAL'. Report from Sibtain Ahmed from Pakistan
Background:
IFCC has a long and proud record of supporting educational projects to improve the quality of laboratory medicine in emerging nations. It was this experience that prompted IFCC to establish the FEN so that this important area of work can be given higher prominence. A small selection of such projects is given in this section to illustrate the variety of projects supported by IFCC. The map shows the geographical scope of the projects:
These projects do not define the limits of projects that may be funded by the FEN.
