Douala Hospital Scandal: Public Health Minister says Lady Koumatekel arrived dead at Laquintinie

The CPDM government has revealed under pressure that the young Koumatekel arrived dead at the hospital Laquintinie in Douala. A thesis rejected by the relatives of the family and a medical pratitioner of the same hospital. Senior Cameroon government officials have jointly and severally challenged the theory of "medical negligence" that led to the death of Lady Koumatekel and her twins on Saturday the 12th of March. 

A beaming minister of public health, Andre Mama Fouda said "Her family went to the emergency ward of the Laquintinie hospital where one member of staff came out and said they had a pregnant woman. They were then directed towards the maternity ward where they were received by a midwife who told them that the pregnant lady had been pronounced dead. And referred them to the morgue.” Cameroon Concord understands the Minister of Public Health took care to specify that the young lady had passed through a first hospital before Laquintinie.

The version from the Health Minister was echoed by the medical doctor in charge who did not want to contradict his boss. However, based on the video aired out by our Face Book team, Lady Monique could not be dead 4 hours before arriving the Laquintinie hospital. A cousin of the victim said in an exclusive interview that his sister had not passed through another hospital.

As tension continues to mount on the government over the matter, the MRC party of Prof Maurice Kamto has urged the Biya regime to organize a national consultation with health professionals to diagnose and propose adequate solutions to the multifaceted problems at Cameroonian hospitals. Hon. William Mandio, CPDM MP from the Mbam-et-Inoubou constituency has called for the resignation of the Minister of Public Health.

The legendary Cameroonian artist, Richard Bona, says the 83 years old President Biya should be held responsible for the situation. Richard Bona wrote on his Facebook page that "Paul Biya is even more dangerous than Boko Haram."
