Event overview:
On 28 March 2027, the Yaounde Gynaeco-Obstetric and Pediatric Hospital will celebrate twenty-five years since its inauguration by the Head of State. Since 2002, generations of midwives, nurses, doctors, technicians and support staff have cared for hundreds of thousands of mothers and children in Ngousso, with the support of our Chinese partners and many friends in Cameroon and abroad.
To mark this silver jubilee, we are preparing a week of celebrations open to everyone: free screening for women and children, an open day to discover our services, a scientific day showcasing research carried out at the hospital, and an official ceremony to honour those who built YGOPH and those who carry it forward.
The detailed programme will be published on this page in the coming months. Former staff, partners and families with a story to share about YGOPH are invited to contact us now to be part of the celebrations.
