Project "ADO MATTER"

The Centre Medical Foundation Dr Gnipieven Tekombo recently launched the "Ado Matter" project in partnership with the Campus Pro Central Africa vocational training centre. Although there is still a long way to go and a lot of work ahead to make his vision of revolutionising hospitals in Cameroon a reality, Centre Medical continues to focus on supporting its founder and sponsor, Dr Gnipieven Tekombo, for the health of the people of Cameroon.

Dr Gnipieven Tekombo's medical centre is also responsible for supplying drinking water to the village of Ntoun, for the electrification of the region and for caring for people in need of medical care. Most of them are young people who have dropped out of school and have been left without money. With this in mind, the project aims to provide medical care to young teenage mothers and reintegrate them into the labour market.

For this reason, the patron of the project, the famous Yannick Noah, also paid a visit to our premises. He was impressed by the modern and professional atmosphere of our medical centre, by the beautiful blossoming of health in Cameroon and by the portrait of a jewel of Cameroonian medicine.

CMGT provides outpatient medical services

Yesterday, as a prelude to the Centre Medical Dr Gnipieven Tekombo's extra-professional activities, there was a fateful match between the CMGT (Centre médical Dr Gnipieven Tekombo) and the DGI (direction générale des impôts) at the Complexe mundi's mythical stadium. The pre-match event included a tour of our facilities with our ever-dedicated coordinator and guest of honor, Mr Franklin Gnipieven, who graced us with his presence. All of this was done to kick off the new year, refresh our strong contacts, professional exchanges, and a "good neighbour" relationship for a better future and a rising Cameroon in the hospital and hotel sectors.

Visit from University Hospital Zurich - Dr. Probst-Hensch and Dr. Giuliani

We had a visit from Prof Dr Nicole Probst-Hensch and Dr Giuliani Francesca from the Public Health Institute and Zurich University Hospital respectively. The visit focussed on two areas: Improving the health of the rural population and supporting the PhD project of a Cameroonian PhD student at the Swiss Tropical and Public Health Institute of the University of Basel.

In connection with this project, we launched an appeal for free screening for high blood pressure for the population of the Bikok district via the surrounding health centers. This PhD project, based at the Dr Gnipieven Tekombo Medical Centre, will involve the technical and professional staff of the center, which already has a cooperation agreement with the Swiss institute.

Cooperation partners - Intercultural exchange as a bridge between Africa and Europe

 A PhD program will be implemented with the University of Basel from September 2022, and an employee of our foundation will write his doctoral thesis (for one year at the University of Basel and two years in Cameroon). In addition, a research collaboration is planned with the University of Basel. Based on scientific data collection and results, further steps are planned in the field of epidemiology to enable preventive protection for the rural population. The head of the epidemiology department at the University of Basel is Prof. Dr. Nicole Probst-Hensch. The transfer of knowledge and intercultural exchange is an important part of this project and we also see our clinic as a bridge between Africa and Central Europe.
