Thank you to my AMAZING colleague and friend, Moumini Niaone (IFMSA-Burkina Faso), who continues to inspire us across oceans, living by the motto: If you have knowledge, let others light their candle with it (Winston Churchill). I would like to re-post his inspirational post: For me being a medical student is not only a title, but also a social Commitment. If you born in one of the poorest country in the world, and are living among the poorest people of one of the poorest country. Where the majority is illiterate, where the basic human rights is denied to them (the rights to health). No access to potable water, to electricity, or to healthcare services. Where ignorance leads to 80 % of diseases and death. Where the majority cant afford to pay treatment fees. Being medical student means more. I feel like a enlightened Candle which need to light other candles around itself. Though I feel sometime powerless, because I have not the required skills, and enough support to change things around me. A medical student is this strategic guy, who does his best for use his know how, his knowledges, his attitudes to influence positively people around him. Teaching people how to improve their life, by the basic knowledges of public health. He also advocates for decision makers to care about health improvement, he takes actions to prevent or to cure diseases. This is what means for me, Being a medical student....
