SUMMARY:INWIC at SophiA Symposium in Cameroon
DESCRIPTION:Beginning of March 2025\, MinSante\, a partner of the SophiA consortium\, will be hosting the SophiA symposium as part of the practical training week at Edea Hospital in Cameroon.\nThe SophiA symposium will take place before the inauguration of the SophiA technologies. SophiA is a European-funded project aimed at providing African populations with access to carbon-neutral energy for electricity\, heating\, and cooling of food and medicine\, as well as safe and clean drinking water—thereby improving quality of life in a sustainable way. SophiA will develop and locally manufacture innovative\, modular\, flexible\, affordable and efficient solar containers to provide the local population with:\n• Safe\, clean drinking water and deionised water for medical purposes.\n• Hot water and steam production for hospital thermal requirements.\n• Emergency electricity supply for surgical and intensive care units.\n• Cooling of medicine to +5°C – possibly food cooling.\n• Low-temperature storage of blood plasma at -30°C.\n• Ultra-low-temperature storage of sensitive medication (e. g. some Covid-19 or Ebola vaccines) at -70°C.\n\nIn January 2025\, the 2iE partner held the “Train the Trainers” session in Yaoundé\, Cameroon\, where 23% of the participants were women. Learn more on the SophiA website.\nINWIC will be promoted as part of the activities of the IIR CaRe Working Group\, alongside the results of the Women in Cooling Worldwide survey.
