It is with deep emotion and great consternation that
we learned the sad events of recent days involving some Cameroonian hospitals,
especially with the quality of their reception and care for people admitted to
the emergency units. After the case of Ms Ngo Kana, a young doctor who died
while giving birth, the current case of Ms. Monique Koumate has once again
plunged all souls with a bit of humanism into fear and worry.
While extending condolences to the concerned
families and the entire national community, the Fomunyoh Foundation condemns in
the strongest terms all the irresponsible behavior and manipulation of any kind
that affect the lives and dignity of human beings . It invites the Cameroonian
government to establish responsibilities and to draw all the consequences, so
that such events should never happen again in our national triangle.
The Fomunyoh Foundation draws the attention of
medical personnel of all hospitals, public or private, on their homework to
save lives, regardless of the social status of people or any other
consideration. While recognizing the difficult conditions under which they
work, the sanctity of life must always take precedence over demotivation and
any form of pursued of financial gains.
Moreover, these recent events challenge at the
highest level the President of the Republic and his government, that the
Cameroonian health system be reformed and improved to be at the service of the
people. It is also urgent to establish a universal health care coverage that
will ensure universal access to prompt and quality care to all Cameroonians.
The Fomunyoh Foundation remains strongly mobilized
and attentive to closely monitor the situation in our hospital units , in
accordance with its humanitarian work and the protection of human rights, to
provide a better life for the most vulnerable people of our country.
