Additional Information / Shotlist Hi everyone, it’s Nisma, today I am taking you to the far north of Cameroon! We are going to meet our community health workers and explain what we are doing with the communities we serve.
Meet my colleague Oumahani. She is responsible for the promotion of community health in Mora. She makes sure that the community health workers raise awareness of diseases within the surrounding populations. En route to Gancé! The journey will last 45 min, 17km separates Mora from this small town
We are with Oumahani and Jacob in the IDP camp of Gancé that exist since 2017 where members of the Bia community, about 3,000 people, have fled violence and left their homes on the border with Nigeria.
Ababocar has been a community health worker for MSF for 4 years. There he is in the middle of a consultation with a mother and her baby who have been sick for two days.
Abobacar is what we call a curative community health worker. Basically, he is responsible for detecting and treating simple cases of malaria and diarrhoea. Yes, because when the case is more serious, he refers it to a health centre like the one in Kourgui.
Here we are witnessing a community meeting among displaced women in the IDP camp of Gancé , led by a promotion community health worker. Informing the community about common diseases is their main mission.
We take the road again towards the health centre of Kourgui supported by MSF, at the moment the most common diseases are malaria, diarrhoea and malnutrition. The centre offers all kinds of services including one dedicated to maternal health and another to mental health. In 2022, 50,000 patients were treated.
