The director of the Kumba
district hospital, Dr Zacks Ebongo who doubles as head of the ophthalmology unit
has called on Doctors and nurses of the hospital to practice what he calls
post-paid services in order to avoid the Monique Koumate-like incident which
occurred at the Douala Laquintinie hospital recently.
He was speaking on Wednesday March 16, 2016, at the conference hall of the hospital while receiving New Year wishes from staff of the hospital. He said no one should be deprived of their right to life because they cannot pay hospital bills immediately.
He urged doctors of the hospital to be ready to go to the theatre whenever need be and even when the patients do not have the money to immediately pay for their services. “The hospital administration will know how to collect its debts after the person must have been treated,” Dr. Ebongo said, calling on his colleagues not to relent in their efforts in providing the best medical care to patients who avail themselves at the hospital.
