SUMMARY:Improving Access and Quality of Maternal Health Care for Pregnant Women in Cameroon
DESCRIPTION:Date: Yaoundé, April 11, 2024\nVenue: Zoom (Register)\nTime: 3:00 pm – 4:00 pm\n \nTheme:  Assessing the Quality of Maternal Healthcare Services in Cameroon\n 1. Background\nMany Cameroonians lose their lives every day due to the inability to access healthcare services because of financial constraints. Additionally, the implementation of a health insurance system has encountered numerous challenges, preventing it from being a viable option for the population. In March 2016, Monique Koumatekel was one of those unfortunate victims. The 34-year-old pregnant woman underwent a surgical operation performed by a relative in a desperate attempt to rescue her twin unborn babies, after being denied adequate care in a public hospital by hospital staff. She died in the process. This shocking event sparked outrage across national and international public opinion. It is largely believed that Monique and her two unborn babies could have been rescued if they had received adequate medical attention.\nEight years after this tragic incident, women still die in the process of giving life due to medical negligence or inadequate medical attention. What could be the responsibilities of various stakeholders involved in the maternal health care chain of services? What improvements can we record in terms of quality of maternal health care chain of services since that unfortunate occurrence? What priority recommendations should be considered to minimize child bearing and delivery risks?\n2.
