Healthcare

Dikome presbyterian health centre is in absolute need of equipments and medications. This pioneer health centre has been operating for decades, helping the indigenes in every medical respect. Today, the hospital looks like an abandoned dormitory. The worse section is the maternity. There are no beds, mattresses, drugs or what ever can be found in any little clinic around town for emergency cases.

This is the Maternity ward of the health centre.

The beds, blinds, floor, doors, fridges have all been exhausted and need to be replaced as soon as possible.
There are absolutely no drugs, syringes, gloves, deetergents, laboratory equipments, midcroscopes, diagnostic materials, surgical kits, HIV kit, Blood pressure equipments etc. The centre has only 3 staffs and no doctor.

See what looks like beds in a hospital. Even HIV patients who know of their destiny will deny to sleep on beds like this.







Maternity ward. The object on the photo above is used to keep new born babies. Its now a breeding ground for rats and cockroaches. To me as an
observer, there are no wards. Rather we have playgrounds for rats and breeding sites for mosquitoes.

Dikome Balue deserves some of the best medical facilities in the country because of so many reasons i cannot start enumerating here. Let me enumerate just one. Dikome Balue is where Presbyterian Church (Basel mission) started in Cameroon back in 1920 with HENRIK DUTCH as the first German missionary.
Dikome Balue also saw the invasion of Germans during the first world war in 1914 through 1918 during the era of NAKELI WA MBERE.
But to my greatest dismay, not even a single medical doctor is in the health centre talk less of the infrastructure. During the rainy season it rains inside the hospital because the roof has also degraded with time. The entire health centre requires serious renovation. No doubt infant mortality is very high here. People die ignorant of their health situations. Now the rate of HIV AIDS has become alarming in Dikome and something needs to be done.
What future does this place hold without proper medical facilities and delapidated structure where it rains on patients?
