Public health services in Cameroon are underdeveloped. One of the project\u2019s main focuses is therefore on providing health care in rural areas. The PCC runs the \u00abMedical Institutions Manyemen\u00bb hospital. There, patients\u2014including those with tuberculosis, leprosy (which is on the rise again), and HIV\u2014receive treatment and counseling. Due to the crisis in the Anglophone regions, infection rates for these diseases are rising. According to the WHO, the number of people living with HIV throughout Cameroon appears to be stable at around 500,000. The PCC offers support and solidarity to these individuals. Legal counseling, training, and income-generating activities help them achieve economic independence and reduce the risk of infection. Healthcare services are also available to internally displaced persons. The training center for healthcare workers is designed to improve the quality of healthcare in the long term.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The project focuses on the rural and disadvantaged population in the South West and North West Provinces. Since the escalation of the political crisis in the Anglophone regions in 2016, which has led to a significant increase in diseases such as leprosy, Manyemen Hospital has also been caring for internally displaced people. Another target group is people living with HIV. In addition, people who carry out educational work, such as healthcare staff and multipliers such as priests and teachers, receive further training. People affected by gender-based violence (GBV) can also receive help. Nursing staff have the opportunity to receive training and further education at the Presbyterian Nursing School.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
