The Senior Divisional Officer of Meme Division, SDO, Chamberlin Ntou’ouNdong, has passed strict warnings and promises serious sanctions on the management of the Kumba District hospital if any case of missing body parts of corpses kept at the hospital mortuary is discovered.

                The no nonsense Ntou’ouNdong Chamberlin who has embarked on a operation to clean the entire division of certain vices also dished out serious warnings to all doctors of the hospital who most at times abandon their offices and jobs to open their own private clinics in other to make fast cash from the population thereby not rendering their services to the population who turnout for treatments in the hospital. SDO Ntou’ouNdong also discouraged all doctors from engaging in part time in other private hospitals as to him such doctors at times take delight in their private jobs but still keep on receiving salary from the state for no good job done. He further promised suspending the salaries of all such head strong doctors and hospital staff if anyone goes against his orders.

                On her part, the Director of the Kumba District Hospital, DrTchakounteAwala Sandrine EmmanulleEspeMveBiwolepresented a catalogue of difficulties which to her is retarding the expected results and output given to the population of Kumba and Meme division. To her the hospital is witnessing acute shortage in staff which hinders the hospital to take immediate care of the thousands of patients will turnout for treatment in the hospital.    She also noted the lack of office space for sundry doctors which therefore make them not to do consultations at all times since two doctors can’t work in an office at same time.  She also pleaded on the Meme boss to see into it how the VIP wards of the hospital can be increase.  While decrying the constant low voltage affecting the hospital, the director also talked of needs to look for another standby generator that will have the capacity to carry the entire hospital during moments of blackout.

                She also revealed though the SDO has congratulated them for the cleanliness of the hospital, the hospital is still in need of an incinerator that will help them burnt down dirt in other to maintain the standard set by the hospital in terms of hygiene and also pleaded that the SDO to see into it that the entrance into the hospital is improved upon to safe the population from falling while getting to the hospital.
