Minor Ailments | Professor Doctor Joseph Chikelue Obi | ICPS

About Us - Our Humble Story !

The Minor Ailments Project (MAP) has successfully been in operation (worldwide) ; since the year 1991.

That was the Era when (Music Megastar) Madonna was really (really) in Vogue ; and the (absolutely fabulous) Era when a (usually demure) Scottish Songstress , serenely named Eddi (Sadenia) Reader , (sensationally) succeeded in becoming the Glaswegian equivalent of Marilyn Monroe.

Alas : It was also the (highly turbulent) Royal Decade when (poor) Queen Elizabeth The Second , otherwise known as Lilibet , was painfully enduring (yet) another (utterly unfortunate) Annus Horribilis (or Two).


. . . Furthermore , (off the record), it was (additionally) the (very same) Era when some of us were still (scientifically) trying to figure out whether (American Showbiz Legend) Tina Turner (actually) had the most (anatomically) Perfect Set of (Female) Legs in the whole of the Entertainment Industry ; but that is (definitely) a (totally different) Story (altogether) , most preferably for another day . . .

Thankfully , the Minor Ailments Project has obviously come (quite) a very long way (indeed) , since then ; most especially in terms of etiquette , fashion , and posture.

All of our Clinical Advisers are fully qualified , intensively trained ; and comprehensively insured.

We frequently hire quite a lot of retired Medical Doctors , retired General Nurses and retired Community Pharmacists ; so please do send in your Full CV to us , if you are willing to retrain as a QCA (Qualified Clinical Adviser).

Professor Obi boldly created the Minor Ailments Project (MAP) way back , a few decades ago (or so) ; in order to bring lots of vibrant people together with lots of other equally passionate people , who were always ready to try something new.

On the First (1st) Day of January 2022 , the Minor Ailments Project (MAP) formally became a Fully Funded (R&D) Division of the International College of Physicians and Surgeons (ICPS).

All Research and Development (R&D) into Minor Ailments , as (Duly) Funded by the International College of Physicians & Surgeons (ICPS) , will therefore (primarily) be taking place via the Minor Ailments Project (MAP).

Prior to 01.01.2022 , the Minor Ailments Project (MAP) was a (Jointly-Funded) Digital Publishing Vehicle of the International College of Physicians and Surgeons (ICPS).

Prior to 01.01.2022 , the Minor Ailments Project (MAP) was also a (Jointly-Funded) Digital Outreach Unit of the International College of Physicians & Surgeons (ICPS).

What are Minor Ailments (How can they be Safely Defined) ?

Is there a (Single) , Approved , Global ,  International List of Minor Ailment Conditions for Europe , Africa , Asia , America , Oceania , the Pacific Region , Latin (South) America , the Middle East , Russia , Artica and Antarctica etc ?

Why has the World Health Organization (WHO) still not yet successfully convinced All Countries (and All Nations) to fully adopt it's (Very Important) Guidelines ; specifically in relation to the Clinical Management of Minor Ailment Schemes , Minor Ailment Systems , Minor Ailment Services , Minor Ailment Programmes and Minor Ailment Initiatives ?

 According to Professor Obi , who also (incidentally) happens to be a Fully Licensed Medical Doctor , (Somewhere Nice and Sunny) , in the Mediterranean Zone of the European Union (EU) :

"Minor Ailments are fundamentally defined as (Uncomplicated) , Simple , (and Self-Limiting) , Health-Related Conditions , which should ultimately resolve on their own ; and can therefore (reasonably) be Self-Assessed , Self-Diagnosed , Self-Cared , Self-Helped , Self-Educated ,  Self-Healed , Self-Medicated , and Self-Managed , with (Simple) Over-The-Counter (OTC) Medications , Simple OTC Products , Simple OTC Services and a Wide Range of other (Simple) OTC Interventions."

Professor Obi also politely avers that the Following List of Minor Ailments (or Minor Clinical Conditions) should be adequately covered in every Minor Ailments Clinic (or Programme) around the World ; irrespective of Interdisciplinary Fiefdom Squabbles , Intractable Professional Wrangling, Clinical Leadership Deficiencies , and Endless Political Bickering :

• Acne
• Allergic / Contact Dermatitis
• Anxiety (of the Mild Type)
• Athlete’s Foot
• Backache (of the Mild Type)
• Bee Stings (of the Mild Type)

• Menstrual (Period) Pain
• Migraine (of the Mild Type)
• Mouth Ulcers
