The health sector has become a national tragedy. The infant mortality rate is among the highest in Africa. This is all the more shocking because the PMI (Mother and Child Protections) have been removed and instead, mothers and children centres have been created for an elitist community of people.
In terms of infrastructure, the country has less than half of hospitals than some countries of comparable level for the same sample of population, with a phenomenon that has become dramatically commonplace and commonplace in hospital language: the “shortage”. Shortage of dialysis, BCG vaccines, ARVs that happen from time to time, or “on the instructions of …”.
We will organize the general states of health to prepare the bases for the elaboration of a draft law-law relating to the organization of the health system and the formalization of the main axes.
We will organize the National Health Forum to prepare the bases for the elaboration of a draft programme-law relating to the organisation of the health system and the formalisation of the main axes. We therefore commit to:
- Establish a real national health map in Cameroon
- Increase the share of health in the State budget: From 6% currently to 15% (target set by the African Union in Abuja).
- Reform the health system to:
1- Make basic health care accessible to all and eradicate major endemics;
2-Make Cameroon a pole of excellence in health care in certain disciplines and ensure that the country becomes a destination for health tourism.
