In a significant effort to boost Cameroon’s healthcare system, the Ministry of Public Health received a generous consignment of medical equipment from the Africa Centres for Disease Control and Prevention (Africa CDC), a Specialised Technical Agency of the African Union.
The donation aims to enhance the country’s capacity to store and distribute vaccines and other medical supplies efficiently.
A wide range of essential medical equipment including; 129 solar refrigerators, 30 combined solar refrigerators, 172 vaccine posts, 300 fridge tags, 86 coolers, O2 negative cold rooms measuring 20m3, and 02 refrigerated trucks.
These equipments come in as additional efforts to improve the Ministry of Public Health’s capacity to handle and distribute critical healthcare resources across the country.
It is important to note that the donation comes at a crucial time, as the country continues to strive to strengthen its healthcare infrastructure.
Also, the medical equipment will not only support the ongoing vaccination efforts but also enhance the country’s preparedness for future health emergencies.
Note, Africa CDC strengthens the capacity and capability of Africa’s public health institutions as well as partnerships to detect and respond quickly and effectively to disease threats and outbreaks, based on data-driven interventions and programmes.
