 “Previously, we had a basic emergency unit with only six beds. Over the past nine years, we have seen many trauma cases from accidents and other emergencies. This new building allows us to provide comprehensive care, including imaging and laboratory services,” 

he added.

Also at the event was North West Governor Adolphe Lele Lafrique who saluted the North West Regional Assembly for putting the wellbeing of the population first in all it's projects.

He emphasized that the health of the population is a priority, especially as the region recovers from over nine years of armed conflict.

In an interview after the ceremony, Philemon Yang said

“The Emergency Center is a fantastic addition for the North West region. It enhances the Regional Hospital, making it comparable to the Yaounde Central Hospital. This is a major benefit for the entire region."

The structure is ready, but it still needs to be equipped to function fully. The medical supplies and furniture for the hospital have already been sent to the higher authorities, and they have assured us that the center will be well furnished in the coming days.
