Breast milk for 50 babies

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.

Each year, the hospital receives more and more patients, more than 155,000 in 2021, from all regions of the country and even from abroad (Congo, Chad, Gabon, Equatorial Guinea, etc.). It provides 180 beds, medical equipment and quality service.

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.
