Cameroon: Another public health scandal as mother and baby dies during delivery at Mbanga Hospital

A pregnant young lady named, FOMUH Minette,26, has died together with her baby in her womb following fruitless efforts made by Mbanga hospital doctors. Minette who was admitted at the hospital on Tuesday March 29, 2016 died four days after due to what family sources say was negligence.

Her passing away at a time when Public Health Minister, Andre Mama Fouda recently announced new tough measures to protect patients in Cameroonian hospitals is indeed very disturbing.

Minister Fouda's time as head of the Ministry of Public Health has recorded many precarious situations in Cameroon hospitals including the cases of Monique Koumateke who lost her life along side her twins allegedly due to medical failure and Honorine NSHI whose quadruplets died after delivery in the Central Hospital in Yaounde.
