Laquintinie Hospital Staff Required to Deposit 5,000,000 FCFA as Guarantee against Stealing
Support staff at Laquintinie Hospital in Douala have reportedly been instructed to provide a significant cash deposit of 5,000,000 FCFA (five million) as part of a joint, personal, and indivisible guarantee.

The directive, issued by the head office of the institution, under the pretext of combating embezzlement within the hospital, has sparked outrage and raised questions about its legality and fairness.
Under the terms of the directive, employees are required to bring a family member to deposit the cash sum as a guarantee against potential embezzlement of funds, medication, or hospital equipment. Furthermore, in the event of significant embezzlement, the heirs of the employee responsible will be held accountable for repayment.
The document, titled "Act of Joint, Personal, and Indivisible Guarantee," outlines the terms of the agreement, emphasizing the guarantor's obligation to reimburse any sums owed by the employee in case of misconduct. It stipulates that the guarantee will remain valid for the duration of the employee's engagement and will discharge the guarantor only upon the effective payment of all sums owed.
This directive has sparked concerns among employees and the broader community, with many questioning its legality and fairness. Critics argue that it places undue financial burden on employees and their families, without addressing the root causes of embezzlement within the hospital system.
As the situation unfolds, there is a growing call for transparency and accountability from hospital management and the Ministry of Public Health. Employees are demanding clarity on their rights and assurances that their concerns will be addressed in a fair and equitable manner.
In the face of these alarming developments, it is imperative that all stakeholders work together to uphold the principles of justice, fairness, and respect for employee rights within the healthcare system.
