This centre is ‘over the hill’, in other words you go north over a high mountain to the north of Kumbo town into a different landscape that is beginning to shade off into savannah and semi-desert. The patients who come for treatment are as likely to be nomadic and have come from the far north as from the immediate area.

The Health Centre was begun in 1999 by the Sisters of St. Therese of the Child Jesus from Buea Diocese. It serves a population of 19,542 people and has 26 beds distributed over 4 wards looked after by 4 nurses and a midwife. No doctors visit as it is very inaccessible and is 194km to the nearest referral unit in Kumbo.

Out-reach clinic visits are made to 5 villages once a month and HIV / AIDS education and community-based programmes are organised as well as the usual ante-natal and child-health clinics.
