Yingui Lauds CERAC’s Medical Gift

Braving all odds to Yingui with equipment and drugs for the health centre demonstrates distance is not a barrier to Chantal Biya’s generosity.

Barely a year after the Circle of Friends of Cameroon, CERAC, rehabilitated and equipped the Deido District hospital in Douala, the humanitarian crew braved all odds to Yingui in the Nkam Division showing the same love they showed to the Deido population.

This day, they can boast of a clean and well rehabilitated infrastructure that harbours a surgical service, emergency, genecology, paediatric and vaccination services as well as a pharmacy and a well-equipped theatre.
