Projects

In this initiative, we are arranging for the donation of a variety of medical equipment to the Immaculate Heart Hospital and Maternity in Umudioka, Nigeria. The 35-bed hospital will greatly benefit from this donation, particularly in the gynecology, maternity, and emergency departments. Through Engagement Global gGmbH, we were able to secure partial funds from the german federal ministry of economic cooperation and development and are now actively seeking skilled partners, mentors, and facilitators to assist us in making this project a reality.

The Mbingo Baptist Hospital, a 310-bed clinic located in the mountainous Northwest Region of Cameroon, is working on developing its radiotherapy department as a major ongoing collaboration project with support from the diaspora. In 2022, the hydroelectric plant was completed and the radiotherapy bunker is currently under construction. Thanks to a generous donation, a linac from Glasgow was successfully shipped to Cameroon and the hospital has started training Medical Physicists and Radiooncologists. We kindly request your support in funding the construction work at this site through https://my.nabconference.org/default.aspx?page=3437&funds=3144.

The spare parts platform is now fully functional and ready for use. It will assist donors of spare parts and equipment to connect and coordinate their donations through our organization. To list items on the platform, visit www.mephida.org/listings.

We plan to establish a comprehensive personnel dosimetry program at Mbingo Hospital, as there is currently no reputable program in place in Cameroon. This program will monitor, record, evaluate, and report on the radiation doses received by healthcare personnel who are occupationally exposed. The primary objective is to ensure compliance with established dose limits. Additionally, by offering these services to other small clinics in the region, the program can be sustained in the long-term.
