MSF, Camesa organize health campaign in Manyu division

The Manyu Solidarity Foundation (MSF) and Cameroon Medical English Students Association (CAMESA) are now on a jointly organized health campaign in Manyu division. The campaign started from the 3rd to the 10th of August 2014 in Batchuo Ntai and in Nchang villages simultaneously. The medical team was made up of pharmacists, dentists, surgeons and medical students from The University Teaching Hospital, Yaounde.

The joint health campaign, as Mr. Ebai Takang, President of MSF puts it, aims at bringing medical assistance to the under privileged in remote villages. Mr Ebai went on to explain that since 1997, MSF has successfully organized 10 health campaigns single-handedly, and hoped this 11th campaign would be just as successful; which in fact was.

Mr Ebai expressed gratitude to MECCA Minnesota, the Ministry of Public Health, CAMESA, amongst others who have contributed enormously in one way or other toward such a worthy cause.

He however, called on interested partners, donors and even international organizations to support MSF so that subsequent aid will be given to the needy.

Achu Michael, 4th year medical student, president of CAMESA considers the joint health campaign as an act of Godliness. To him the partnership was never planned but it happened and it turned out to be successful. He, also thanked the MSF for the partnership, the population of Manyu for their hospitality and cooperation. He extended his gratitude to Manyu elites based in and around Yaoundé for their financial contributions and to HRH Senator Tabe Tando for providing food, financial support and his humble palace to lodge the health campaign.

Achu Michael explained that the healthcare campaign alternates every year from one division to another within the South West and the North West regions of Cameroon. Mr. Achu went on to say that his medical team is in Manyu to do everything humanly possible to provide care to neighbouring villages.
