A Matriarch Laid to Rest: Hon. Njong Evaristus and SP Jane Mbungson Honour Mama Winifred Fulai Mbungson.

Colbert Gwain | The Muteff Factor

A story is often told in Muteff, perched on the Ijim hills near Abuh in Fundong Subdivision of the Boyo Division of Cameroon's North West Region that when a person dies, the size of the crowd that gathers to accompany them home tells a story of its own. It is not necessarily a measure of wealth or social status, but a reflection of the lives touched, relationships nurtured and footprints left behind. By that measure, the farewell accorded Mama Winifred Fulai Mbungson was a powerful testimony to a life well lived.

Mama Winifred died on August 5, 2026, in Yaoundé after a protracted illness. Born in 1946 in Njinikom, Bamenda Division, in the then Southern Cameroons, she was the daughter of Cosmas Kimeng and Mama Odilia Nayah, both of blessed memory.

Her journey into service began remarkably early. At just five, she enrolled at St. Maria Goretti Girls' School in Njinikom, where she completed her Standard Six. She subsequently proceeded to St. Martin de Porres Catholic Mission Hospital, also in Njinikom, where she trained as a nurse and was later employed as a senior nurse.

It was during this period that she met her life partner, Bobe Nkwain Cornelius Mbungson, a renowned businessman resident in Kumba. They married in 1965 and were blessed with several children, beginning a family journey that would define much of Mama Winifred's life.

But she was more than a wife and mother. Her life was marked by service and an enduring commitment to the Catholic faith. Following her baptism, she joined the Cadets of Mary and, after marriage, became a member of the Kumba branch of the Catholic Women's Association (CWA). She eventually became President of the Kumba branch, a position she held throughout her years in the town.

Even after retiring to Njinikom, Mama Winifred remained committed to the CWA until her death. Back home, she also became a devoted member of the Immaculate Sisters group, deepening a spiritual journey that had accompanied her through the different stages of her life.

The significance of the life she lived became most visible after her death. The outpouring of mourners cut across geography, institutions and generations, with wake services held in Yaoundé, Bamenda and Njinikom.

Her final journey included burial masses in Njinikom and at Tenefor Catholic Church in Bamenda. The ceremonies brought together relatives, friends, members of the Catholic community and people whose lives had intersected with hers over the decades.

For those unable to make the journey to Njinikom, an elaborate reception was organised at the Fultangs' premises at GRA Bamenda. It became another gathering of people coming together to honour her memory. Among them were Superintendent Jane Mbungson's colleagues from the Cameroon Police Force, her female social group, the Kom community and Hon. Njong Evaristus' SDF family, led by the party's Secretary General, Njong Donatus.

For SP Jane Mbungson, the farewell was that of a daughter saying goodbye to the woman who gave her life, nurtured her and watched her journey into adulthood and public service. For Hon. Njong Evaristus, it was the loss of a mother-in-law who had become part of his extended family.

Mama Winifred leaves behind a brother and sister, children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren, as well as cousins, nephews and nieces to mourn her.

But the multitude that gathered across Yaoundé, Bamenda and Njinikom offered another kind of obituary—one written not in words, but in presence.

A matriarch has gone home. Yet her legacy remains alive in the family she built, the faith she served, the profession she practised and the communities that came together to give her one final farewell.

Beyond the Fault Lines: US-Based Dr David Makongo Proposes New North West–South West Unity Platform

Colbert Gwain The Muteff Factor (formerly The Colbert Factor)

"We have mourned together, suffered together and survived together. Now we must organise, rebuild and prosper together," Dr David Makongo states.

The words of the US-based Anglophone elite capture the spirit of a proposal seeking to move Cameroon’s North West and South West regions beyond growing fault lines and towards organised cooperation, collective action and shared prosperity.

A story is told in Muteff, a small village perched on the Ijim hills near Abuh in Fundong Subdivision of the North West Region, of a time when survival depended on neighbours understanding that no family could climb the rugged hills alone. When a difficult task confronted the community, people brought together what each household had—hands, tools, knowledge and determination. What one person could not accomplish, many could.

That old wisdom may hold a lesson for two regions whose histories, cultures and struggles have been intertwined for generations, but whose relationship has increasingly been strained by political, economic and social fault lines.

It is from this perspective that Makongo is proposing a North West–South West New Elites Association, conceived as a broad platform for economic empowerment, political transformation and sustainable development.

The two regions share a deeply interconnected history, cultural affinities, family ties and common experiences. Yet competition over limited resources, diminishing opportunities and competing political interests has progressively driven a wedge between people who historically shared far more than they differed.

The decade-long existentialist conflict has deepened those divisions, creating fertile ground for mistrust and widening existing fault lines. Political elites, Makongo argues, have also too often exploited the frustrations of gullible young people, mobilising them around narrow personal and political interests instead of harnessing their energy for rebuilding, reconciliation and collective prosperity.

His proposition, however, is not for either region to surrender its distinct identity. Rather, he wants their differences organised around shared interests.

In making that distinction, Makongo recognises the inherent differences between North Westerners and South Westerners. As cultural commentator George Ngwane once put it, “when the South Westerners say it in low tones, North Westerners shout it out on top of their voices; and at times, when the North Westerners are singing a dirge, the South Westerners are singing a lullaby—and for the same situation."

The point, therefore, is not to manufacture sameness where differences naturally exist, but to build cooperation despite them. The North West can remain North West and the South West South West, with their distinctive temperaments, cultures and identities intact, while both regions organise their differences around common interests and collective goals.

Makongo’s vision goes beyond creating another association. He proposes an interconnected architecture bringing existing organisations from both regions under broader umbrella structures.

These would include a North West–South West Council of Chiefs and Fons, a joint federation of cultural and development associations, a common platform for school and alumni associations, and networks connecting young professionals, entrepreneurs, academics and emerging leaders.

He also envisages a global council bringing together elites in Cameroon and the diaspora.

Such a structure, he believes, could unlock resources and expertise scattered across communities and continents. The diaspora, in particular, could provide financial capital, professional knowledge, technology, international networks and investment opportunities for development initiatives at home.

Makongo insists that the proposed platform should not replace existing village, tribal, cultural, professional or community associations. Instead, these organisations should evolve from largely social structures into stronger engines of development, solidarity and collective action.

Traditional authorities, he says, have a particularly important role to play. Chiefs and Fons could provide the moral authority and convening power necessary to bring people together across village, tribal and regional boundaries.

A coordinated platform could facilitate cooperation in education, infrastructure, investment, culture and community development, while creating mechanisms for sharing expertise and mobilising resources for projects that benefit communities across regional boundaries.

But Makongo is conscious of the danger of creating yet another organisation captured by a small circle or transformed into a political pressure group. He therefore insists that the structure must remain transparent, inclusive, non-partisan and development-oriented.

Young elites should bring ideas, innovation and energy, while businesspeople, professionals, women, youth, traditional authorities and diaspora members should all have meaningful roles.

He is consequently calling on chiefs and Fons to convene what he describes as a historic meeting, with elites tasked with designing the institutional structure and the diaspora helping mobilise the resources necessary to make the vision work.

The real test will be whether the proposal can move beyond speeches, ceremonies and periodic gatherings into institutions capable of delivering measurable results.

For too long, unity has been celebrated symbolically at conventions, cultural festivals, funerals and fundraising events without necessarily producing sustained mechanisms for collective action.

Makongo wants to change that equation.

"The time for ceremonial unity is over. The time for organised cooperation, collective action and shared prosperity has come,” he concludes.

And perhaps, as the old lesson from Muteff suggests, difficult terrain becomes less daunting when people stop measuring the strength of their individual hills and start building bridges between them.

Bafut/Tubah MP Agho Oliver Gifts Raffia Bush Tappers, Tasks Them with Protecting Wetlands, Fighting Climate Change

Colbert Gwain | The Muteff Factor

A story is being told of the young man in Muteff village perched on the Ijim hills near Abuh in Fundong Subdivision of Cameroon's North West Region who returned from the coast under pressure to perform an ancestral rite, with raffia wine being the key item demanded by the tradition.

But when he arrived in the village, he encountered a problem bigger than the one he had originally come to solve: the complete absence of raffia wine both in Muteff and nearby Achain village that used to act as backup.

Years of unsustainable exploitation had taken their toll. Raffia bushes had been cleared for farms and buildings, while others were harvested without adequate regeneration. A resource that had once been abundant had gradually become scarce.

Faced with the pathetic situation, the elders were therefore confronted with an unusual dilemma. The ancestral rite could not simply be abandoned, yet the traditional requirement of raffia wine could not be met. They improvised, symbolically using water in lieu of the required raffia wine.

The immediate situation was rescued, but it did not feel complete. For the young man and the villagers alike, the substitution left a lingering sense of incompleteness and emptiness. Water could serve as a symbolic substitute in an emergency, but it could not fully replace the cultural meaning attached to raffia wine.

That Muteff story offers a powerful backdrop to the intervention of Bafut/Tubah Member of Parliament, Hon. Agho Oliver, who on August 25, 2026, gifted more than 50 carefully selected raffia bush farmers and tappers while challenging them to protect the wetlands that sustain their livelihoods and join the fight against climate change.

The ceremony, held at the premises of the Divisional Delegation of Agriculture and Rural Development for Mezam Division, brought together beneficiaries from Bafut, Bambui, Bambili and the two Babankis.

They received rain boots, raincoats, cutlasses and financial support — practical assistance for people whose work takes them into wet, bushy and sometimes hazardous terrain.

But the gesture was deeply personal for Hon. Agho Oliver.

Explaining his concern for what he described as an often forgotten and overlooked class of resource persons, the MP recalled that, as a child, he accompanied his father in tapping and vending raffia wine. The proceeds from that activity helped him go through elementary education.

Raffia tapping, therefore, is not an occupation he encountered from a distance. It is part of his own life story and of the economic foundation that helped shape his future.

His concern has also been reinforced by a recent incident involving one of his brothers in the village, who was bitten by a snake while working in the raffia bush because he was not wearing protective gear.

The rain boots and raincoats consequently represent more than gifts. They respond to a real occupational hazard and underscore the need to make the work safer for those who provide a product so deeply woven into community life.

From Every Compound to a Threatened Resource

Hon Agho Oliver's intervention comes at a time when the raffia resource is under growing pressure.

In the 1950s, 1960s, 1970s and 1980s, virtually every compound in rural Bafut and Tubah — and, by extension, much of the Grassfields of Cameroon — had a raffia bush either adjacent to the compound or in a distant wetland.

Population growth, uncontrolled habitation, conversion of wetlands into farms and building sites, bush fires and other forms of environmental destruction have radically altered that landscape. A resource once taken almost for granted is increasingly difficult to find. The consequences are economic, environmental and cultural.

Raffia wetlands help regulate water, support biodiversity, protect soils and store carbon. Their destruction therefore threatens not only the livelihoods of tappers but also the ecological resilience of communities.

This is why Agho Oliver's message goes beyond assistance: the people who earn from raffia must become its protectors.

The MP has promised that his support will continue, including providing raffia seedlings for regeneration and clean containers for preserving the wine. He has also committed to deeper reflection and research into the raffia wine value chain, potentially opening discussions around improved production, hygiene, preservation, packaging, marketing and value addition.

The underlying proposition is straightforward: environmental protection is not an obstacle to the raffia business; it is a condition for its survival.

Sustainable tapping, regeneration of depleted stands, protection of young palms, prevention of bush fires and avoidance of unnecessary destruction can help ensure that future generations inherit what previous generations once considered abundant.

For the more than 50 beneficiaries from Bafut, Bambui, Bambili and the two Babankis, therefore, Hon. Agho Oliver's gifts carry a larger social contract:

Harvest from the raffia bush, but do not destroy it. Earn from the wetlands, but protect them. And make a living from nature without making nature's disappearance the price of that livelihood.

Muteff has already demonstrated what happens when that balance is lost.

A community may improvise when its raffia wine disappears, but the lingering incompleteness of that substitution is a reminder that some resources are valuable not only because they sustain livelihoods, but because they sustain identity itself.

It should be recalled that Hon. Agho Oliver is not making his first interventions in his constituency. Since entering Parliament in 2020, he has been on all fronts in an attempt to improve the livelihoods of his constituents. He is also one of the few Members of Parliament who regularly visits his constituency or ensures that his constituents hear from him at least once a month, a practice he has maintained since entering Parliament.

Beyond his regular interventions on the floor of Parliament, he has, each year, contributed to sending less privileged students in his constituency back to school, from the primary to the tertiary level. Back in 2020, he distributed roofing sheets and other building materials to residents whose homes were destroyed in the course of the raging conflict, provided essential medication worth XAF 30 million to the Bafut Health District, and has consistently provided agricultural inputs and planting seeds to farmers in his constituency. He has also remained actively engaged in supporting community development initiatives in most of the villages that make up his Bafut/Tubah Constituency.

After the Habeas Corpus ad Testificandum by the Court of Public Opinion, President Paul Biya Finally Presented Himself Body and Soul Last Saturday

Colbert Gwain | The Muteff Factor

At Muteff, when a farmer sends his goats out to graze and one fails to return at dusk, nobody begins by writing a report. Someone takes the familiar footpath and searches the bushes, streams and surrounding compounds. If the animal remains missing for days, the question changes from “Where is it?” to “Who has seen it?” And when the owner finally brings it home, people in the compound do not need a photograph or a communiqué to confirm its return. They see it.

That simple Muteff logic offers an oddly fitting lens through which to view Cameroon’s latest presidential drama: after 74 days abroad, President Paul Biya finally returned home but it took until last Saturday for the nation to see him properly.

For more than two months, Cameroonians had, metaphorically speaking, constituted themselves into a Court of Public Opinion and issued their own Habeas Corpus ad Testificandum: produce the body and let him testify by his presence.

President Paul Biya, 93, the world’s oldest serving head of state, had been away from Cameroon since June 7, spending 74 days in Geneva during what the Presidency described as a “brief private stay.” Whatever the official description, the prolonged absence generated an extraordinary national conversation about presidential visibility, governance and the whereabouts of the man who has ruled Cameroon since 1982.

The metaphorical writ was beautifully captured by Observer237, a Bamenda-based newspaper, exactly a week before Biya finally returned home. Across its front page, in a bold banner, the newspaper declared:

“PRESIDENT PAUL BIYA, ANSWER THE PEOPLE’S CALL AND RETURN HOME.”

It was difficult to imagine a more journalistic rendition of Habeas Corpus ad Testificandum. The newspaper had, in effect, given a headline to the question echoing across the country: Come home. Let the people see you.

Then, on Thursday, August 20, Biya finally returned to Yaoundé. Yet, even that did not completely satisfy the Court of Public Opinion.

At Nsimalen International Airport, Cameroonians did not get the familiar spectacle of the President descending from the aircraft, greeting dignitaries and allowing cameras to capture his return in full view.

Instead, what the public saw was a hand appearing to wave through the partially opened window of a vehicle speeding towards the Unity Palace, as CPDM supporters lined the route.

After 74 days of absence, the symbolism was almost theatrical because although the people had asked for the body, they instead got but a hand. And for many, that was not enough because a hand waving through a vehicle window could confirm that someone was inside the car but it could not entirely satisfy a population that had spent weeks and months wondering about the physical presence of its President. The Court, therefore, remained metaphorically in session until last Saturday August 22, 2026, when the female football team was invited to the Unity palace.

Fresh from their historic triumph over Malawi in Rabat on August 16, the Indomitable Lioneses were received at the Unity Palace by the Presidential Couple. Having defeated Malawi 3-0 to win Cameroon’s first Women’s Africa Cup of Nations title, the Lionesses arrived carrying something more than a trophy: they brought with them a rare moment of national testimony as President Paul Biya finally unveiled himself to Cameroonians in much the same way a child excitedly unveils his/her Christmas gift.

This time, there was no presidential hand emerging mysteriously from a car window. No fleeting glimpse through tinted glass. No communiqué asking the public to take the Presidency’s word for it. The man himself was there body and soul.

For the first time in more than ten weeks, Cameroonians could look at their President and see, rather than simply be told, that he had returned.

The irony could hardly be missed. The Lionesses had come home carrying the African trophy Cameroon had waited years to win. Their triumph provided the occasion on which another national waiting finally ended: the waiting to see the President back on Cameroonian soil.

But the Court of Public Opinion is not necessarily finished with its questions.

The habeas corpus metaphor may have been answered physically, but the political questions behind it remain. How long should a Head of State be absent without a fuller explanation? What happens to the machinery of government during such prolonged absences? How should citizens be reassured that the state is functioning effectively? And why should a population have to rely on photographs, communiqués and eventually a newspaper headline to demand the visible presence of its own President?

These are bigger questions than one presidential return.

For now, however, the Court can adjourn because the writ has been executed and the body was produced last Saturday after weeks of waiting. Thanks to the Lioneses, Cameroon finally saw its President body and soul.

Foretelling or Forthtelling: How Ezekiel 34:1–11 Speaks to Today’s Leadership in CameroonColbert Gwain | The Muteff Fact...

Foretelling or Forthtelling: How Ezekiel 34:1–11 Speaks to Today’s Leadership in Cameroon

Colbert Gwain | The Muteff Factor

From the high slopes of Muteff, where the Ijim Hills rise majestically above Abuh in Cameroon's North West Region, leadership is not measured in presidential speeches or official ceremonies. It is measured in whether the road to the village is passable, whether the school is functioning, whether the health centre has medicines and whether a farmer can return home safely after working in the fields.

For the Muteff farmer, government is something experienced, not merely discussed. Imagine an old farmer looking toward Yaoundé and asking: “If the shepherd has left the flock, who is watching the sheep?”

It is a question that takes us directly into Ezekiel 34:1–11. The chapter begins with God instructing Ezekiel to prophesy against Israel's shepherds—the political leaders entrusted with the welfare of the people. And what follows sounds less like an ancient religious text and more like a devastating audit of failed leadership.

“Woe to the shepherds of Israel,” Ezekiel declares.

Why? Because the shepherds were feeding themselves instead of the flock. They ate the fat, clothed themselves with the wool and slaughtered the choice animals, but they did not feed the sheep.

The indictment then becomes more specific. They had not strengthened the weak. They had not healed the sick. They had not bound up the injured. They had not brought back the straying. They had not searched for the lost. Instead, they ruled them harshly and brutally.

The consequence was inevitable: the sheep were scattered. And because they were scattered, they became vulnerable. They became food for wild animals. Worse still, there was nobody searching for them.

This is where Ezekiel's ancient prophecy becomes an uncomfortable political mirror for Cameroon.

The distinction between foretelling and forthtelling is crucial. Foretelling predicts what is coming. Forthtelling confronts what is already happening.

Ezekiel was forthtelling. And Cameroon's contemporary landscape provides enough troubling parallels to make the prophet's words sting.

A country confronted by poverty, unemployment, inadequate healthcare, educational challenges, insecurity, displacement and deepening social frustrations inevitably raises the question: Who is strengthening the weak? Who is binding up the wounded? Who is searching for those who have been lost or scattered?

The question becomes even sharper when viewed through the country's prolonged Anglophone crisis, which has scattered families, emptied communities and displaced hundreds of thousands.

The shepherd metaphor becomes more uncomfortable still when the country's principal shepherd has himself remained abroad for an extended period after what was initially described as a “brief private stay.” Although present or absent the sheep are not usually well catered for, the prolonged absence rings a different bell in the history of reckless abandonment.

Whatever explanations may surround President Paul Biya's prolonged absence, its political symbolism is difficult to ignore. At a time when the flock faces insecurity, economic hardship and institutional uncertainty, the image of a shepherd far from his sheep creates a powerful metaphor.

The question is no longer merely whether the shepherd has been feeding from the flock. It is what happens when the shepherd appears to have abandoned it?

Yet Ezekiel does not stop with the failures of individual leaders. He says the shepherds failed because they treated the flock as though it belonged to them. They ruled for themselves rather than for the people entrusted to their care.

That is the heart of the political warning.
Public office is not private property. Power is not ownership. Leadership is stewardship.

And Ezekiel's most chilling observation is that because the shepherds failed to search for the scattered sheep, the sheep eventually became scattered without anyone caring for them.

And there's a final twist. God declares that He is against the shepherds. He will hold them accountable for what they have done. He will remove them from their position of responsibility and, most significantly, God Himself will search for His sheep.

The message is both theological and political: no ruler is beyond accountability, and no government can indefinitely substitute power for responsibility as currently obtained in Cameroon.

From Muteff to Yaoundé, Ezekiel 34 therefore asks Cameroon a question that refuses to disappear:

Are those entrusted with leadership feeding the flock—or feeding on it? And if the shepherd has gone away, who is tending the sheep?

That is why Ezekiel 34 is not simply foretelling. It is forthtelling—speaking uncomfortable truth to power, in the present tense.

And its opening warning still echoes across the hills and valleys of Cameroon:

“Woe to the shepherds.”

Bringing Healthcare Home: Visiting Angels Set to Enrich Cameroon’s Healthcare Ecosystem

Colbert Gwain | The Muteff Factor

In Muteff, high in the Ijim hills of Cameroon’s North West Region, caring for a sick or ageing family member can become a journey of its own. The nearest hospital may be miles away, roads can be difficult, and family members who would ordinarily provide care may themselves be working long hours, living in distant cities or abroad.

For families confronting illness, distance is not merely geographical. It can become a healthcare barrier.

It is against this backdrop that Visiting Angels is preparing to introduce an innovative homecare health service into Cameroon—a model built around a simple but potentially transformative idea: bringing healthcare home. Even its name, Visiting Angels, captures the philosophy behind the initiative: bringing compassionate, professional support to people in their homes when illness, age or disability makes caring for themselves increasingly difficult.

But what exactly does homecare mean?

In simple terms, it means taking appropriate healthcare support to the patient instead of requiring the patient to travel repeatedly to a hospital or clinic. A qualified nurse or caregiver can visit a patient at home, monitor their condition, provide nursing support, assist with medication and daily activities, support recovery after surgery or hospitalization, and communicate with doctors and other healthcare professionals when necessary.

For ordinary Cameroonians, it could mean that an elderly mother recovering from surgery does not have to endure repeated and sometimes difficult journeys to the hospital simply to receive routine follow-up care. It could mean that a stroke survivor receives assistance at home, while a person living with diabetes or hypertension is regularly monitored by trained professionals.

According to Visiting Angels, these are among the challenges confronting many families in Cameroon. Elderly people, persons with disabilities, chronically ill patients and those recovering from surgery often require regular attention that families struggle to provide.

Some patients have difficulty travelling to hospitals or clinics because relatives work long hours and cannot accompany them. Others need continuous monitoring following hospitalization. Patients living with diabetes, hypertension, stroke-related disabilities and other chronic conditions may require regular follow-up that cannot always be provided by busy family members.

For Cameroonian families living abroad, the challenge is even more complicated. They may be thousands of kilometres away, worrying about parents or other relatives at home and wondering whether they are receiving adequate care.

It is this felt need, Visiting Angels says, that its proposed service seeks to address.

The organization promises to bring qualified healthcare professionals directly to patients' homes, providing high-quality, compassionate and personalized nursing care while giving families the much-needed peace of mind and confidence that their loved ones are receiving professional healthcare support.

The concept is not without precedent.

Around the world, homecare is increasingly becoming an important component of modern healthcare. In the United States and United Kingdom, organized home health services combine professional caregivers, nursing, post-hospital care and increasingly remote monitoring. Japan has developed community-based approaches partly in response to its ageing population.

One model that could be particularly relevant to Cameroon is the Netherlands' Buurtzorg, meaning “neighbourhood care.” Instead of relying on large bureaucratic structures, Buurtzorg organizes nurses into small, self-managing teams that work within communities. They assess patients, develop care plans, coordinate services and work closely with families and other community professionals.

The principle is straightforward: healthcare works better when professionals understand not only the patient's medical condition but also the community and family environment in which that patient lives.

For Visiting Angels, adapting elements of this model could mean creating mobile nursing teams in Cameroonian communities, beginning in major urban centres and gradually extending into underserved areas.

Such teams could combine professional nursing, trained caregivers, telehealth, family engagement and referral networks linking patients to hospitals and specialists when more advanced treatment becomes necessary.

This would make homecare more than simply “a nurse coming to your house.” It would create a connected healthcare system in which the home becomes another point of care.

The possibilities are particularly significant in a country where families traditionally carry much of the responsibility for caring for elderly and vulnerable relatives.

Homecare could support families without replacing them. A daughter would still be a daughter, a son still a son and a family caregiver still part of the patient's support system—but trained professionals could provide the expertise and regular attention that families may not always have the time or skills to provide.

Visiting Angels' vision is therefore ambitious: to become one of Cameroon's most trusted home healthcare organizations, supported by a nationwide network of professionally managed and mobile nursing services.

If successfully implemented, the initiative could enrich Cameroon’s healthcare ecosystem by creating a stronger bridge between hospitals, healthcare professionals, patients and their families.

Hospitals will remain indispensable. But healthcare does not have to end at the hospital gate.

For an elderly patient who cannot easily travel, a stroke survivor rebuilding independence, a diabetic requiring regular monitoring, or a parent whose children live abroad, the most appropriate place to receive some aspects of care may be the place where they feel most comfortable—their own home.

And that is ultimately the promise behind Bringing Healthcare Home: not replacing the hospital, but extending the reach of professional healthcare beyond its walls.

For thousands of Cameroonian families, the journey towards better healthcare may no longer always begin with a journey to the hospital.

Sometimes, healthcare can—and should—come home. And if you are passionate about your family patient receiving compassionate care or joining the team of professionals at Visiting Angels, book your spot NOW with Visiting Angels Cameroon @(+1316)6165306/670586747/677702949
