THE STORM IN THE TEA CUP THAT BRINGS SMILES.


Patients in and out of Bamenda, have regained hope and smile, following the arrival of eight new dialysis machines, eight beds, a good consignment of concentrated acids and 800 containers of salime water of 10 litre capacity each. This consignment that was received this Wednesday 6th January 2021 in Bamenda, is the prompt response of the Minister of Public Health.


The consignment was received by Dr. Kingsley Che Soh, North West Regional Delegate of Public Health and Dr. Nsame Denis, Director of the Bamenda Regional hospital. The reception of these equipment, is  a stress reliever to the over 55 patients who undergo dialysis at the centre.

It should be noted that this emergency response of the Minister of Public Health, Dr. Manaouda Malachie, comes barely few days after a whirlwind blew in a tea cup.


The newly acquired equipment, are coming as a result of  the malfunctioning of some of the machines operating at the centre. Receiving the new consignment, the Regional Delegate of Public Health for the North-West Region, Dr. Kingsley Che Soh, made a clarion call to patients who left the centre to receive dialysis elsewhere to come back.


"I am calling on all those who went out of the region, to come back. The installation of the equipment has been done immediately ater reception. They should come back and continue their sessions at the same rate".

Two days a week and four hours per session, that is what is expected of the Dialysis patients. This was greatly affected due to the breakdown in machines. The patients at the dialysis center in Bamenda, have expressed optimism, following the arrival of these new equipment. Some of them were thankful to the Director of the Regional Hospital Bamenda, Dr. Denis Nsame.
"I want to thank the Director for being our whistleblower. These equipment will go a long way to assist us get our regular dialysis. We also want to thank the Minister of Public health for his prompt response"

The storm is over now. The sky is brighter as the dialysis patients begin their treatment with brand new machines.
