Cameroon ICU & Oxygen/Suction Equipment
Goal: $230,000
There is a growing need for an updated Intensive Care Unit (ICU and a
hospital-wide oxygen and suction system in the patient rooms to greatly
improve the patient care at Mbingo Baptist Hospital. The recent return of one
of the CIMS Internal Medicine graduates from a year of ICU training,
coupled with these upgrades – new basic ventilators, more infusion and
syringe pumps, BIPAP machines, a blood gas analyzer, and an oxygen and
suction system – will make a major difference in the quality of care,
especially within the surgical and ICU areas of the hospital.

Goal: $2.5 million
Electricity is an enormous challenge in Cameroon, and even more so for hospitals with expensive electronic equipment, not to mention the challenge of regular power outages during surgery. Dr. Palmer has been pioneering an effort to construct a Hydro Electric Dam near the hospital in Mbingo. This project would provide clean and consistent electricity and would become one more piece of the plan to establish the Mbingo hospital as a premier teaching hospital in Cameroon. NAB is partnering with other organizations to fund this project.
