Summary

Dr. George Bwelles is a founder of the non-profit organization called ASCOVIME. ASCOVIME is an organization that works in the medical field for people in Cameroon. It gives the people in Cameroon free surgeries.

Dr. Bwelles started this foundation based on his own hard experience of taking his father to a hospital that has decent medical facilities. Cameroon has few doctors, and people are having hard time getting medication because of poverty. Two out of five people in Cameroon are struggling with poverty.

Since 2008, Dr, Bwelles and his team started travelling to villages in need of medical treatments for free. They started examining on Friday, then they give surgeries and other treatments. Then they will be back to the city on Sunday. ASCOVIME has helped almost 32.000 people.

In addition of his charity works, Dr. Bwelles also works at private medical clinics around his city. The work supports around 60% of his non-profit organization. He is a truly dedicated man.
