SDF chairman, John Fru Ndi
SDF chairman John Fru Ndi visited the family of Monique Koumate in Mboppi- Douala this Friday following the tragic death of Koumate Monique who died with her unborn twins in front of the Laquintinie hospital in Douala, Cameroon.
The leader of the main opposition party in Cameroon arrival was marked by high police presence , hundreds of supporters of the SDF party and sympathizers of the family handed some meat, bags of Irish potatoes and an envelope to the family. His visit comes after a well publicized criticism within the last few days of the Opposition Leader over his silence on the strategy.
While hoping that the SDF will release an official statement and steps taken to ensure Health Care reforms in Cameroon,it is vital to note that the Deputy leader of the Social Democratic Front, Joshua OSIH opened a ‘national debate’ by suggesting that” if Monique was a French or an American, the CPDM regime would have reacted promptly and immediately, Government and local officials sanctioned moral and material support for the family of the victim insured, the niece of the victim and the morgue attendant decorated for bravery at the Unity Palace”.
Fru Ndi’s Deputy, the right honourable Joshua OSIH, also thinks that the whole tragedy is a crime attributable to the State. According to him “in this case, the state crime lies in the persistent and unexplained denial of Mr. Biya regime to facilitate, through the establishment of effective, adequate sanitation, access to health care in great majority of Cameroonians, despite significant human and financial resources it has.
This regime had however promised us three decades ago health for all by the year two thousand.
1.It is a crime attributable to the State because while Monique and her family suffered because of this ordeal, all Cameroonians subsequently suffered in her flesh becoming the reality of horror in this hospital, while President enjoyed adequate health care in Switzerland.
2.It is a crime attributable to the State because while a taxi driver improvised ambulance driver in the fact that almost none is our top state committed to avoid hospitals they yet are responsible, are regularly evacuate with taxpayers’ money, sometimes for simple checkups.
3.It is a crime because of the persistent and unexplained denial of Mr. Biya regime to facilitate, through the establishment of effective, adequate sanitation, access to health care in great majority for Cameroonians, despite significant human and financial resources.
4.It is a crime attributable to the State because health care in a Republic should not be accessible to more affluent society. The right of all citizens of Cameroon to health is an inalienable constitutional right.
5.It is a crime attributable to the State because the perpetuation of the failure of our healthcare system is a clear willingness of the Yaounde regime. Just note that the insufficient budget allocations of this ministry, also largely covered by foreign donations, are lower than the various expenses and waste plan, covering the right fuel, seminars and symposia, unnecessary trips bloated delegations presidential and private visits abroad.” notes the SDF MP.
