Cameroon’s health care system is one of the most developed domains of the community life, thanks to faith-based health care organizations on which foundation services have expanded to serve a significant amount of the population, and the national health system structure which is set on a strong policy foundation and open for necessary evolution.
In addition to government health facilities and projects, the health system continuous to struggle especially with the double burden of infectious and chronic conditions. HIV, Malaria, Diarrhea and, most recently, COVID-19 infectious diseases menace the system. But, increasing overweight in children, and adults and the risk factors for non-communicable disease are the community component that explains the risen threat of chronic non communicable diseases that seek to overwhelm the system.
