– Ultra Sound machine

– Pillow cases
– Bed sheets
– Blankets
– Blood pressure machines
– Centrifuge 12 holes

– And many other basic needs of these health centres, following the expressions of need that were submitted by the various health centres.
The population of Ngie Subdivision, represented by the Neighborhood and Village Committee members on hand to receive the multitude of equipment, manifested their applauses with the magnitude and variety of equipment that was displayed for distribution.
These equipment are aimed at alleviating the health situation of the people of the municipality. The health authorities were called upon to put them into proper use, for the benefit of the people of the municipality, Ngie Subdivision .
In handing over the equipment to the authorities of the beneficiary health centres, the Mayor lamented the absence of most Chiefs of Centre, both at the ceremony and at their post.
The Mayor expressed that the absentee Chiefs have demonstrated their unwillingness to continue to serve in the municipality and has appealed to the state to take urgent measures to salvage this situation, and safe the people of the municipality from premature deaths, as a result of poor medical attention.
The mayor used this ceremony to express his gratitude and that of the inhabitants of the municipality, to the minister of public health and to the state of Cameroon, for the continuous support to the council for the advancement of health initiatives in the municipality.
Lord Mayor Ubangoh Helly announced the willingness of NCADA-USA to sponsor the purchase of more health equipment for the Health centres of the Municipality.
The Mayor appealed to the elite that the government of Cameroon encourages citizen participation in the development of the municipality. He therefore embrasses all elites who have something to give back to the Ngie community.
He however stressed the need for the elite to work in collaboration with the Lord Mayor, for any development initiative in the municipality, as provided for by the laws in force.
The mayor stressed that he shall no longer tolerate the anarchy that had previously existed in the health centres of the municipality, that have been devolved to the council. This state of anarchy included situations where,
– some elites intruded in the management of the health centres.
– Some created and ran illegal drug stores in the Health Centres
– Some tampered with the infrastructures of the health centres, without the consent of the Mayor.
All these must stop.
As a household is to a parent, where no neighbor can buy property for the children without the consent of the head of the family, so is the municipality to a Mayor, where no body, even the state ( except with security issues and cases of emergency ) can perform any activity without the involvement of the Mayor.
The Mayor made a special appeal to the District medical services to intensify their pressure on all state employed personnel sent to ÀNDEK municipality to resume work, for the effective use of the materials distributed.
