THE MEDICAL REALITIES OF CAMEROUN

THE MEDICAL REALITIES OF CAMEROUN

The government only recently announced the creation of a Reference Hospital in Bamenda. After how many years? And why only NOW? If our hospitals and healthcare systems where good, why is it NOT used by all those privileged in the government? Do they think we don't know what is happening?

This is the truth. If you can not trust your life in the care of thesame healthcare system that you claim to have put in place for your citizen to use, why do you think those citizen must trust their lives to it?

We already know that you know the entire healthcare system in Cameroun is a disgrace. A country which can not even boast of one CT Scan in each regional hospital to handle traumatic cases in situations like road accident victims our people with possible stroke but has Ministers embezzling huge funds with impunity. Do you know how much a CT Scan cost?

One Entry level CT Scan ( for exam a Toshiba Aquilion Prime ) = 300 million frs CFA or ($500,000 at exchange rate of $1 = 600frs CFA

We all have seen one person recently building a mansion of about $40 million with ill gotten wealth from our state coffers. Say we only consider this amount, and by our calculation of how much a single CT Scan cost, that $40 million could buy a whooping 80 CT Scans. That's 8 CT Scan in every Region in the entire country. That means each Division may actually have one CT Scan.

Just let that sink for a second. And you wonder why our youths are unemployed and our universities are not designed to properly address the pressing needs of the society. After how many years did the University of Buea get an accredited medical program? We are too late in implementing the things that mattered in building a vibrant nation and staying in this union is parasitic for the people of Southern Cameroons, whose rich resources are being harvested with no development to show. Look at Mundemba! Has one of the worst roads in the nation but actually supplies all the oil that comes out of SONARA.

It's time for people to see that this Union is designed to enslave the people of SOUTHERN CAMEROONS for ever.

Good for you Rigobert Nsong, you are lucky to be one of the few privileged ones who have the outlawed dual citizen in Cameroun with your French Passport but can still BENEFIT from our state coffers to sponsor your medical evacuation to treat your cerebral hemorrhage. But as you enjoy your second chance in life financed by the kind citizens of Cameroun, remember that there are many of those same citizens who may have not died like you should they had your privilege status. Their lives is obvious does not matter to their government that made sure you had your medical vacation. Not only did you get well, you let thesame government use you to as a tour puppet as a symbol of UNITY? What UNITY?
We are happy for your second chance in life but if there's one least thing you can do for us the people of Southern Cameroons who have now suffered so much with its brothers languishing in jail is to speak up against the injustice happening in Southern Cameroons and add your voice to the release of our leaders. Until then, we will never look at you and all Francophones who are silent to this atrocities thesame again - EVER

SOUTHERN CAMEROONS

YOU CAN DO BETTER ON YOUR OWN
