3/5 Chutuo P. 3 years ago on Google
The
good:
there
was
doctor
at
the
Oncology
department
who
made
it
a
point
to
address
each
and
every
patient
in
its
own
language.
If
you
speak
French,
he
speaks
to
you
in
French
and
if
you
speak
English,
he
would
address
you
in
English:
that
alone
is
worth
it
weigh
in
gold,
in
a
Country
at
war
over
cultural
and
identity
issues.
The
building
housing
the
hospital
itself
is
an
architectural
masterpiece
and
I
was
most
impressed
in
the
way
the
Belgian
builders
optimized
airflow
in
the
building.
No
visible
HVAC
equipment
anywhere,
but
air
flows
in
the
building
and
cool
it
down
significantly
even
during
the
dry
season.
The
ugly:
The
only
set
of
elevators
is
reserved
for
hospital
personnel
who
need
them
the
least.
Most
toilets|bathrooms
are
nonfunctional
and
there
are
signs
of
deferred
maintenance
all
over
the
place.
That
is
somehow
expected
given
that
we
are
in
fact
in
Cameroon.
The
bad:
IF
the
cashier
machine
down
at
the
pharmacy
means
that
they
cannot
serve
you
the
drugs
are
you
so
desperately
need
and
they
don’t
seem
to
thing
it
is
a
problem.
You
would
thing
they
would
at
least
serve
you
and
bill
you
manually
until
the
machine
is
back
in
service.
It
is
shocking,
but
most
people
here
are
okay
with
it.
Luckily,
pharmacy
Blue
is
just
across
the
street
and
benefits
immensely
from
the
hospital
lack
of
vision.
Patient
data
is
mostly
handled
manually
and
I
have
to
wonder
who
they
go
about
getting,
storing,
destroying
or
archiving
it.
Get
computers
and
learn
how
to
use
them
to
make
your
live
easier.
Setting
up
a
LAN
for
the
hospital
would
not
cost
that
much,
given
the
labor
rates
in
the
country.
