Chad.&nbsp;This creation then corresponded to the vast movement of regrouping and cooperation which was taking place in Africa.&nbsp;The goals of the&nbsp;<strong>OCEAC<\/strong>&nbsp;which, until 1965 bore the name of the OCCGEAC, were summarized in the acronym of the organization itself:<strong><\/strong><strong><\/strong><br><strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Coordination<\/li><li>Cooperation<\/li><li>Major Endemics<\/li><li>Central Africa<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The actions of&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>OCEAC<\/strong>&nbsp;were oriented towards the fight against tuberculosis, trypanosomiasis, leprosy, treponematosis, schistosomiasis, measles, cerebrospinal meningitis, malaria, onchocerciasis, intestinal parasites, vaccinations, health education, etc.&nbsp;Thus,&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>OCEAC<\/strong>&nbsp;contributed in a substantial way to the disappearance of smallpox, to the reduction of the prevalence in Central Africa of many communicable diseases.&nbsp;From 1965 to 1983,&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>OCEAC<\/strong>&nbsp;was responsible for the following missions on the major endemic epidemics raging in the territory of Central Africa:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Establish<\/strong>&nbsp;and coordinate any action program aimed at control and eradication;<\/li><li>Pursue studies, research to carry out the fight against these endemo-epidemics;<\/li><li>In addition, to achieve this, encourage the interest or support of major national and international organizations.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The statutes revised in&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>1983<\/strong>&nbsp;reformulate the missions of the organization as follows:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Constitute a regional scientific pole to develop public health in the Member States;<\/li><li>Participate in the training of public health personnel from Member States;<\/li><li>Provide public health expertise to Member States;<\/li><li>To achieve this, additionally stimulate the interest or support of NGOs and bilateral or multilateral cooperation bodies.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">From 1983 to the present day, health problems have taken on other dimensions, diseases have been or are being eradicated;&nbsp;new endemics have appeared, other diseases are re-emerging, thus changing the epidemiological profile of the bloc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Approaches to public health problems have evolved.&nbsp;Moreover, population growth, poorly controlled urbanization and the stagnation of health systems resulting from socio-economic conditions require States to seek answers within a broader framework.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Consideration of the above has led OCEAC to restructure itself and to refocus its missions and its action around the mobilizing themes which constitute the most emerging health problems.<\/p>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content
