The Bafut region is about 20 km north-west of Bamenda in the North-West Province, and like Bali, is still a chiefdom or ‘fondom’. It has most striking murals depicting lions on the walls of the ‘fon’s’ palace. The Health Centre, which has been under the care of the Franciscan Sisters since it started in 1961, is closely linked to a home and treatment centre for disabled children and adults called SAJOCAH (Saint Joseph’s Children and Adults' Home). This offers physiotherapy after surgery and also has training centres where the patients, some of whom are blind, are helped to learn skills that will enable them to earn their own living. The actual Health Centre almost amounts to a small hospital with 1-2 resident doctors and it has the facility for operations as well as offering the usual clinics, TB and HIV/AIDS treatment services, etc. There are education and community home-based care programmes and 4 out-reach clinics are visited monthly.
