Nyong & So’o Division: Chinese doctors offer free health services to Ngat-Bane population.

The free medical consultation and treatment were organised at a health centre in Ngat-Bane village, Mbalmayo Subdivision, Nyong and So’o Division of the Centre Region. The one-day medical outreach took place on June 6, 2026. 

The free diagnosis and treatment services provided by the 25th batch of the Chinese medical team in Cameroon, were across eight departments, including internal medicine, surgery, orthopedics, obstetrics and gynecology, ophthalmology, otolaryngology, acupuncture, and rehabilitation.

Members of the Chinese medical team expressed their deep joy in seeing the local patients' pain relieved. They also voiced their dedication to helping every person in need with medical expertise and compassion, hoping their actions will allow the local residents to feel the goodwill from China.

Mayor praises initiative

While expressing gratitude to the Chinese medical team, the Mayor of Mbalmayo, Dieudonne Zang Mba Obele, said the provision of healthcare services enhanced friendly relations between Cameroon and China. 

“I believe that the friendly relationship between China and Cameroon allows us to organise these events every year for the most disadvantaged populations. Some cannot even reach the hospital, and some cannot even get to Mbalmayo,” the mayor said.

He insisted that: “As you can see, there are women, young people, and children who received free care today. They were examined, they were treated, and they were given medication”.

According to Chinese news agency, Xinhua News, the Peoples’ Republic of China has since 1975, dispatched 25 batches of medical teams to Cameroon, comprising a total of 811 medical personnel. 

The teams have equally traveled across various Regions of the country to provide healthcare services, offering ongoing care to local communities and earning widespread acclaim.
