the donation on Thursday, July 02 at the premises of the hospital and the
equipment were supplied by Premier Medical SARL, a leading medical equipment supply
company in Douala. The equipment donated
include: a pair of phototherapy lamps, two Neonatal incubators,
two baby weighing scales, two digital
Foetal dopplers, and two electrical
power stabilisers These equipment will go a long way in enhancing the quality
of services rendered by the hospital to the general public.
Speaking during the occasion, the Medical Director
of the Presbyterian Health Complex, Dr Choamo Andre, on behalf of the hospital
management, expressed gratitude and conviviality to Mme Camilla Bijingsi of
the Ariel Bijingsi Foundation, for the equipment donated. He noted that the
Technical platform of the Hospital in general and the Maternity Unit in
particular will be greatly raised to bring about more patient satisfaction.
The Health Service Administrator, Njie William said
he is strongly convinced, that the equipment will sharpen the activities of the
hospital in improving health care quality. He added that the installation of
these equipment will put a stop to the hitherto transfer of babies to other
hospitals.
On his part, the Director General of Premier Medical,
Ebung Chrys Ewang outlined the overall objectives of Premier Medical, which he
said is not limited to supplying quality medical equipment, but also assists
hospital managements in the installation and maintenance of equipment. He used
the opportunity to remind the staff of the need to use the equipment diligently
and not to hesitate at all, to call Premier Medical’s technical team anytime
for appropriate after-sales follow-up so as to maximise their satisfaction.
Premier Medical clearly outlined that the Equipment supplied are brand new and
so a guarantee of twelve months has been granted. He equally used the occasion
to thank the representative of the Foundation for choosing to work with his company.
The Bepanda Hospital donation added to a series of
good will gestures of the Ariel Bijingsi Foundation to hospitals, considering that
similar activities of this nature have been carried out by the foundation at
the Yaounde Biyem Assi Hospital, and the Bamenda Regional Hospital recently.
When asked about the actual sum of money the
foundation has spent on donation in the aforementioned hospitals, Mme Camilla
Bijingsi confirmed that the foundation has spent About FCFA 18 million in
total, to make all three donations a success.
