ADDAX PETROLEUM

Particular attention was paid to the most isolated areas in order to allow people who live there to access cardiac examinations, thus avoiding costly trips to cities. The distribution of Cardio-Pads was distributed as follows: 10 district hospitals in the central region, 07 in the eastern region, 07 in the southern region, 07 in the southwest region, 07 in the north-west region, 10 in the coastal region, 08 in the northern region, 08 in the far north region and finally 07 in the Adamaoua region. The second phase of the project provides for the deployment of 192 Cardio-Pad Kits in 182 new district hospitals, distributed as follows: 27 district hospitals in the central region, 17 in the eastern region, 15 in the in the south, 15 in the south-west region, 16 in the north-west region, 16 in the coastal region, 13 in the northern region, 27 in the far north region and finally 15 in the region of Adamaoua. The remaining 10 Cardio-Pads will be intended for the launch of the Mini SAMU. Thanks to these two phases of the project, a total of 270 hospitals have been equipped, now having electrocardiogram recording centers. More generally, this project aims to establish a medical monitoring program for populations in the cardiac field, improve health care and extend the geographic coverage of cardiology services in Cameroon. During the delivery of the Cardio-Pad kits to the various beneficiary hospitals, all representatives of these hospitals benefited from theoretical training allowing them to familiarize themselves with the general concepts of the electrocardiogram, as well as practical training for the getting started with the Cardio-Pad and performing ECGs. At the end of each training course, the Cardio-Pad and all its components were ceremonially handed over to each doctor in the beneficiary hospitals, in the presence of the regional health delegate of the region concerned.
