Medical non-governmental organization (NGO), Médecins du Monde Suisse (MdM-CH) works on the ground to restore sustainable access to healthcare for excluded people. MdM-CH fits into an international context by favoring a programmatic approach in conjunction with civil society. It develops a specific conceptual and operational framework for contexts in chronic crisis and/or conflict, managing emergencies when they arise but favoring long-term development strategies. It favors a direct approach while articulating these closely with local partners, guarantors of sustainability.

 

Present in Cameroon since 2013, MdM-CH with the help of these partners is implementing a project on pediatric palliative health (PPS) in Yaoundé, Center region, another project on sexual and reproductive health and child health in the District (DS) of Foumban, western region. Since 2018, Médecins du Monde Switzerland has also been running a project to combat violence and specifically gender-based violence (GBV) in the cities of Bamenda, North-West region and Mbouda, West region.

After the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic in Cameroon in March 2020, MdM-CH participated in the national response against SARS-COV2 with the implementation of 02 projects to combat the spread of the virus in the DS of Foumban and Mifi, West region and the DS of Bamenda, North-West region.

 

Since the outbreak of the crisis in the North-West and South-West regions in 2017, the West region currently hosts more than 160,000 internally displaced people, the majority of whom are in the towns of Mbouda, Bafoussam , Foumbot and Foumban. The capital of the North-West region, Bamenda, enjoying relative security, also hosts a population of internally displaced persons. These internally displaced persons and members of host communities in these two regions and specifically in the cities of Bamenda, Mbouda, Bafoussam, Foumbot and Foumban are facing a dual health and humanitarian crisis.

Capitalizing on its know-how and expertise in the field of SSRE, the fight against gender-based violence and against the COVID-19 pandemic, MdM-CH, with the help of its partners, is implementing a project with as objective: Consolidate the health response against the COVID-19 pandemic through better acceptance and proximity of immunological prophylaxis associated with holistic care of patients from host populations and internally displaced persons from 05 Health Districts (DS Bamenda, DS Foumbot, DS Mbouda, DS Mifi & DS Nkwen). It is in particular to support the operational teams of this project that MdM-CH is recruiting an Administrative Assistant and Logistics Support Accountant.
