Dr. Carol McCammon, an emergency medicine physician, and Dr. Georges Bwelle, general surgeon and founder of Ascovime, recently spearheaded a medical mission project in Cameroon to provide point of care ultrasound for obstetric patients. They partnered with Butterfly and Ohana One to obtain the technology, but a key part of this project required training the local staff on how to use the provided handheld ultrasound devices.
In preparation for the project, Dr. McCammon’s team created a custom training manual specific to this project to accompany the in-person instruction. However, they were faced with a challenge because the primary language spoken in Cameroon is French and the training manual was written in English. While they had access to live interpreters for the in-person training sessions, they did not have any resources to generate a written translation of the extensive training manual.
Looking for a high-quality translation with a fast turnaround, the team reached out to Jaide Health. We were excited to have the opportunity to contribute to this project and help expand access to high-quality healthcare internationally. Using our AI translation solution, we were able to generate an accurate translation of the training manual instantly.
“We are thrilled with the support provided by Jaide Health. Our human reviewer who evaluated the generated translation was very impressed with the quality of the translation.” said Dr. Carol McCammon. “With this translation in hand, we were able to train the local staff and they have since begun providing obstetric ultrasounds at many sites.”
Founded in 2008 by Dr. Georges Bwelle, a surgeon at Yaoundé Central Hospital and professor at the Faculty of Medicine and Biomedical Sciences, ASCOVIME (Association of Skills for a Better Life) is a Cameroonian non-profit humanitarian organization. Guided by its values of commitment, compassion, integrity, excellence, and solidarity, ASCOVIME has been working for over a decade to reduce inequalities in health and education in rural Cameroon.
