Haemodialysis ‘epidemic’ in Cameroon: Manaouda Malachie hints on organ transplantation bill.
Haemodialysis ‘epidemic’ in Cameroon:
Manaouda Malachie hints on organ transplantation bill.
Manaouda Malachie, the proactive minister of public health, has hinted on the impending tabling of a bill on the legalization of organ transplantation to address the proliferation of kidney infections and the constant breakdown of haemodialysis machines in our hospitals putting patients in harm’s way.
He dropped the hint last Friday while responding to a question from Hon. Isabelle Silikam on what government was doing to address the degradation of health infrastructure in Yagoua, that has forced patients seeking haemodialysis treatment to flock to the lone centre in Garoua.
Manaouda Malachie who was facing the MPs for the first time since his appointment was one of three ministers to mount the rostrum.
Agreeing with the female MP that Mayo Danay accounted for over 46 percent haemodialysis cases at the Garoua centre, the minister announced that in the short run over 4 billion FCFA had been budgeted for the purchase of some 900 new haemodialysis machines with a good number destined for the Garoua centre. In the long run, he announced, a bill making the transplantation of organs ethical will be tabled before the people’s representatives. This, he said, would address the haemodialysis conundrum which has become a public health hazard in Cameroon. Malachie was applauded for his mastery of the subject and convincing answer.
Earlier, Emmanuel Nganou Djoumessi, minister of Public Works; and Jean Ernest Massena Ngalle Bibehe, minister of transport, fielded questions concerning their fields.
The Public Works minister explained the progress of rehabilitation works on the 270 km Ngaoundere-Garoua road whose pitiable state has led to vehicles taking up to 9 hours to complete the journey.
For his part, Ngalle Bibehe was on hand to reply to concerns raised by Hon. Nzougnou Fotsa Ngong about absence of mass transportation in our towns; CamairCo’s plan of action; deadly road accidents; and payment of indemnities to victims of the Eseka train accident of October 2016. The transport boss announced the planting of more radar on our roads to check over-speeding and continuation of administrative sanctions and judicial proceedings against defaulters.
On Camairco, Ngalle Bibehe said the company was seeking a strategic partner to help in its international deployment, while partners in the likes of SOCATUR were also being sought to help in mass transportation in the regional capitals.
