Le Centre Hospitalier Dominicain Saint Martin de Porres (CHDSMP) est actif depuis 2008. Located in Mvog Betsi, a suburb of Yaoundé, most patients are in extreme poverty.

The Hospital Center was founded and is managed by the Congregation of Dominican Sisters, who are also responsible for Christ the King College in Obout, rehabilitated by MAP in 2016.
