Cameroon Children’s Hospital will be the first dedicated, full-service children’s hospital in Central Africa. It will be one of only a hand-full of children’s hospitals in sub-Saharan Africa and the only one in the Central African region that will provide comprehensive pediatric care at a single facility - from disease prevention to cancer and complex neuro and cardiac surgical care. It will be a huge leap forward in the care of Africa’s most vulnerable, its children.

Made possible by a generous donation from Drs Daniel and Meesha Gwan-Nulla, in partnership with the Cameroon Baptist Convention, the 150-bed hospital is slated to open in 2029. It will be designed and constructed by Build Health International (BHI), Beverly, Massachusetts, the facility will include:

• Pediatric emergency & trauma unit

• Burn unit

• Neonatal and pediatric intensive care units

• Comprehensive cancer care with a dedicated cancer treatment pavilion

• 3 Operating rooms, including cardiac OR

• Cardiac catheterization lab

• Cardiac care unit

• Endoscopy suite

• Radiology services with CAT Scan

• Spacious patient rooms with isolation rooms

• Full service kitchen for patient meals

• Physical rehab center

• Educational and research facilities

This state-of-the-art facility will be powered by its own hydroelectric power plant to provide reliable and sustainable clean energy. In addition, it will also feature a sustainable, ecological friendly waste disposal system. This will ensure that we can meet the growing demand of pediatric care in Sub-Saharan Africa and give hope to children and their families who, otherwise, would not have access to such care.
