The project will construct a 100-bed referral hospital, capable of handling 200 in- and out-patients per day, in Sangmélima town. Works will comprise the construction of a hospital complex with operating theaters and wards for emergency care and general medicine, as well as for specialties such as obstetrics, pediatrics, orthopedics, ophthalmology and radiology.
In addition to appropriate equipment, an initial stock of essential drugs will be provided for the hospital’s first year of operation. As well as serving the Sangmélima district, the new hospital is expected to attract patients from neighboring countries, where health services are also limited.
