Overview

For years, Cameroon has experienced systemic weaknesses within the health system, including a lack of coordination among institutions, budget unpredictability, inefficiencies in storage and distribution systems, and a lack of qualified staff. We have worked to support health system performance in Cameroon with a focus on effective prevention and treatment of HIV and AIDS, TB, and malaria, as well as increasing demand for and supporting the scale-up of evidence-based family planning and reproductive health services. In support of Cameroon’s National Health Strategy, we are building the capacity of local stakeholders to prevent and control communicable diseases, promote antimicrobial stewardship in both the human and animal health sectors, and advance multisectoral coordination to combat antimicrobial resistance.
