Putting patients at the heart of everything we do, so that every woman and every child who comes to YGOPH is welcomed with respect, cared for by competent teams and followed up until they are well.
Dear Patients, Families, Partners And Colleagues
Dear patients, families, partners and colleagues,
Welcome to the Yaounde Gynaeco-Obstetric and Pediatric Hospital (YGOPH), known to the families of Yaoundé simply as L’Hôpital Gynéco. Since our inauguration in 2002, YGOPH has cared for hundreds of thousands of women and children, trained generations of doctors, midwives and nurses, and built a reputation as a reference hospital for mother and child health in Cameroon and in the sub-region.
When I took office in December 2024, the Minister of Public Health gave us a clear mandate: improve the quality of care, make the best use of our resources, strengthen our medical teams and restore the image of YGOPH as a major health institution. Every day, our staff work to honour that trust.
- A better welcome for every patient
- Quality and safety of care
- Modern infrastructure
- Care accessible to all
- Motivated, well-trained teams
- Strong partnerships
Our first priority is you, the patient. We have started to improve the way we welcome and guide you, from the entrance of the hospital to the payment windows and the waiting rooms. We are renovating our buildings, modernising our equipment and investing in the skills of our doctors, midwives, nurses and technicians, so that more women and children can receive specialised care here in Cameroon rather than abroad.
We also remain faithful to our social mission. No mother or child should be denied care because of poverty. With the Ministry, our partners and benefactors, we will keep finding solutions for patients in difficulty, while making our fees clear and predictable for everyone.
I invite our partners, donors, universities and friends of YGOPH, at home and in the diaspora, to walk with us. Together, we can make this hospital a true centre of excellence for the mothers and children of Cameroon and Central Africa. Thank you for your trust.
Dr Che Kingsley Soh
General Manager, appointed by decree n° 2024/604 of 25 November 2024
Six Commitments For The Years Ahead
1. Patient experience
Clear signage, trained reception staff, shorter queues at the payment windows and more comfortable waiting areas, so that patients and families feel expected and respected from the first minute.
2. Quality and safety
Regular quality evaluations in every service, clinical protocols, infection prevention and the follow-up of adverse events, with teams accountable for results.
3. Modern infrastructure
Step-by-step renovation of roofs, wards, consultation rooms and technical areas, and more individual rooms for patients who need privacy and rest.
4. Care for all
Transparent, progressive billing, partnerships with benefactors and a dedicated budget line for indigent patients, so that no emergency is refused for lack of money.
5. Motivated teams
Continuing professional development, recognition of good performance and a working culture built on discipline, rigour and team spirit.
6. Strong partnerships
Deeper cooperation with China, universities, NGOs and the diaspora to bring new skills, equipment and free campaigns to our patients.
