Quality healthcare : Minister on a fact finding mission in health facilities in Douala

 

The Minister of Public Heath, Manaouda Malachie has personally witnessed poor treatment given to patients in some hospitals .

Minister Manaouda Malachie, paid an impromptu visit to the Lanquintinine hospital and the Deido District hospital in Douala on 27th June 2019.

He was accompanied by the Secretary of State at the Ministry of Health, Alim Hayatou and the Secretary General Prof. Sinata Koulla Shiro.

The team’s first stop was at the Laquintinine hospital. Disguised as a patient, the Minister got a chance to size up the quality of healthcare provided to patients in this health facility.

He noticed the negligence and passiveness of most of the healthcare providers both at the consultation ward and pharmacy with dismay.

From the Laquintinine hospital to the Deido District hospital , the treatment was the same.

-nurses left their offices to watch movies.
-the August patient was not attended to
– Unprofessionalism displayed
– Negligence

Minister Manaouda and his team left Douala disappointed at the quality of healthcare provided to patients in hospitals.

This visit appears to be a follow up to the unannounced visit carried out at the Biyem-assi District hospital a few weeks back.

The Minister of Public Health Manaouda Malachie was appointed in January 2019.

Since his appointment, quality healthcare in hospitals has been an obsession.
