Hospital-University Cooperation: France Opens More Doors To Cameroon

 A series of accords have been signed between hospitals/universities of the two countries.

University of Yaounde I, the Gynaecological Endoscopic Surgery and Human Reproductive Teaching Hospital (CHRACERH) in Yaounde have began a new page on research, teaching and performance platforms. Yesterday, March 30, 2017 in Yaounde, the CHRACERH and the University of Yaounde I, officially signed a hospital-university co-operation, on one hand with the University of Bordeaux in France, the Bordeaux Teaching Hospital (CHU) and another between the Gynaecological Endoscopic Surgery and Human Reproductive Teaching Hospital and the Intercommunal Hospital Center in Créteil, France (Center Intercommunal Créteil) known as CHIC.

The General Manager of CHRACERH, Jean Marie Kasia, said after three years of existence, it was time for the hospital to open its doors and expertise to structures in developed countries given that medicine is a field that is evolving and for  CHRACERH to be up-to-date, they must create a platform to share and exchange knowledge and experience. That is why the Director General of the Bordeaux Teaching Hospital, Philippe Vigouroux said the convention will permit the movement of teachers and students between the University of Yaounde I, CHRACERH and the University of Bordeaux, Bordeaux Teaching Hospital as well as the Intercommunal Hospital Center in Créteil.
