    The equipment worth over FCFA 10 million were distributed amongst the four health institutions which are: Dispensaire Publique de Njombe, Dispensaire Catholique de Njombe, Hopital ST Jean de Malte, Njombe, and Centre de Santé de Penja.

    The Equipment included: Delivery beds, Office chair, Microscope, Dressing trolley, Digital blood pressure machines, Otoscope, Surgical aspirators, Fridge and Stethoscope. The equipment were supplied to MC2 by Cameroon’s giant medical equipment company, Premier Medical SARL.

    With over fifteen years of experience in the sector of medical equipment, Premier Medical officials promised to take charge of the installation, user training, and after sales maintenance of the equipment in the various health establishments.

    The representative of the Senior Divisional Officer, SDO, for Njombe-Penja, Abel Tidsani, who presided over the distribution ceremony, acknowledged the massive turn out of the population for the event. Tidsani also congratulated MC2 for their commitment to community development, and reiterated the importance of communal growth, as a door way to achieving Cameroon’s emergence vision of 2035. 

    Also present during the ceremony were the Mayor of Penja, some traditional dignitaries, as well as the Director General of Premier Medical, Ebung Chrysantus.

    According to the Unit Director of MC2, Pierre Céléstin Themah, last Wednesday’s ceremony was another humbling activity for MC2, adding to a series of good will gestures carried out  by the institution to improve and promote community development.

    MC2 prides itself as a Microfinance institution, whose principal objective is to fight poverty in the community, through the provision of socio-Economic services.

Prior to the donation, MC2 had also been very active in the educational milieu, providing many benches to some schools in the area.
