The reality about most African public hospitals

Here is an example a toilet in an African public hospital

Dear friends, good morning to you all, today it is healthcare system the topic.I am writing this post in response to the African system where by whenever there is an issue or scandal with public hospitals, the easiest thing to do is to replace the director of the hospital rather than solving critically rooted problems created by the system put in place as a result of their bad governance. Therefore I am inspired writing it, as I have travelled to many places in Africa, and if you have too, you will have definitely encountered a hospital visit or two.

Having  lived in Africa and been a patient at both public and private hospitals, gave me a pretty good understanding of some of the practices and problems these hospitals face on a daily basis. And I have realised just how much is lacking in terms of facilities, medical equipment, education, organisation and professionalism within these hospitals. Personally I have witnessed varying degrees of uncleanness, patient confidentiality, sympathy and basic care with myself and or family members.

It is true I may not have a profound and elaborated education in the medical field, but as an English educated woman I feel there are basic things screaming out to me as I delve further into the Cameroon case study medical world . It is very easy to point fingers and blame the staff running these hospitals, but it goes way further right back to the government and its ability to educate and provide for these hospitals.

Everyone may  perceives Cameroon as an African country of success stability which in part it is; there are religious groups living side by side in an acceptable harmony, it is mostly a stable country politically if I am allowed to say that despite one president ruling for more than 30 years. And as compared to other African nations it has a reasonable economy with the middle class growing at a stable rate with more and more disposable income. However the part of Cameroon the world loves and knows only represent the tip of an iceberg of its reality.

Laquintinie Hospital of Douala has a new director after the scandal

Laquintinie Hospital of Douala has a new director after the scandal. I am sorry but how is this suppose to change anything.  We need change in health care procedures certainly not people paying innocently for a crime commited by the system. Please Cameroon authorities stop misleading the world..!!!

The former director of Laquintinie hospital was  replaced this Tuesday, April 12, by Professor Louis Richard Njock, previously director of the Regional Hospital Annex Edea.

Laquintinie Hospital of Douala has a new director. Prof. Louis Richard Njock appointed to the post by decree of the Prime Minister, Head of Government, signed Tuesday, April 12, 2016. Previously Director of the Regional Hospital Annex Edea in the Littoral, he takes over from Dr. Jean II Dissongo who had spent four years between (April 2012 - April 2016).

Prof. Louis Richard Njock thus arrives at the head of this structure when the Cameroonian hospital environment is shaken by scandals and evils which led the MOH to take a number of measures for the management of patients in health facilities.

The fight is on between two Cameroonian artists Richard Bona and Mbella

I genuinely believe Cameroonians have lost it+. Richard Bona is cameroonian by birth and has now gained an american citizenship whereas Mbella is Cameroonian by birth and nationality. To me honestly I think in the future this whole thing of dual nationality will be use as a weapon by some dictators and their followers in building resistance to democratic changes. Because if not what the hell is this head on combat all about? Simple jealousy? Or may be because  this is the first time anyone is truely standing up to an expired regime and sticking to the values they have acquired during their stay in a democratic world; which is of course proper democracy. ..! Should people now stop acquiring other nationality if they really wish one day to return home and contribute to the betterment of the country??? Let's not forget Ndedi Eyango suffered the same faith at the ministry of culture...I think this issue should be a fruit for thought for us all.

Well whether it’s on the double issue of dual nationality or the debate on political change in Cameroon, the author of the correspondence below says Richard Bona is an American who should shut up. Please read the whole correspondence saga and let me know what you really think...
