Akum Health Centre

Cameroon

This Health Centre on high ground 17 km from Bamenda town is run by the Missionary Sisters of the Holy Rosary and since 1965 has been providing vital services for a sub-urban population of around 5,000.

There are no facilities for surgery, but there are 56 beds, and there are a large number of deliveries annually as well as ante-natal clinics and help for those with HIV / AIDS and TB.

A Focolare doctor who works part-time at the Health Centre initiated important social support groups for these latter.
