Dr. Gwan-Nulla speaks to WTM
State-of-the-Art Pediatric Hospital in CBCHS In-View!

A state-of-the-art hospital for pediatric services will be constructed in the CBC Health Services soon. US-based African Children’s Healthcare Fund is the brain behind the construction of such a novelty in Cameroon as a whole and the CBC Health Services in particular.
Cameroonian-born Dr. Daniel Gwan-Nulla, a cardiothoracic surgeon in Georgia, USA led a three-man team to Mbingo Baptist Hospital and Baptist Hospital Mutengene from February 28 to March 1, 2024, to prospect the site that is most suitable to host such a giant pediatric hospital. Speaking to the press in the CBC Health Services head office in Bamenda, Dr. Daniel Gwan-Nulla said they would pray and allow God to choose the hospital that will be accessible to every Cameroonian as well as the Central Africa sub-region.
Quizzed on his motivation to construct a pediatric hospital, the cardiothoracic surgeon who hails precisely from Bali in the Northwest region said he is interested in changing the narrative of the high infant mortality rate in African countries. He explained that the hospital will serve as a one-stop-shop where a child comes in and gets whatever specialist service, he/she needs to stay alive – no referral to another hospital elsewhere!
On the choice of CBC Health Services, Dr. Daniel Gwan-Nulla said it is on record that the organization is best in providing quality healthcare in Cameroon, and therefore, the choice could not be otherwise.By Bonkung Handerson
“A similar hospital has been constructed in South Africa and after Cameroon, we shall move on to another African country,” Dr. Daniel Gwan-Nulla revealed.
Two other team members included: David Wright, Architect & CEO, HFG Architecture, Wichita, Kansas, and Ellery Walker, Master Planning Fellow, Engineering Ministries International (EMI), Colorado Springs, Colorado. Both officials registered positive remarks of their sojourn to the CBC Health Services.
The Deputy Director for Administration and Finance, DDAF, Mr. Warri Denis received the team on behalf of the DHS.
