WOUNDED SOLDIERS RECEIVE TOKEN OF SOLIDARITY

BY MILDRED NDUM WUNG KUM

Members of the Cameroon Defense Force recovering from bullet wounds in Bamenda received a token of fifty thousand francs each.  The commander of the fifth joined military Region in Bamenda, General Nkar Valere handed them the money on instruction from the  Minister Delegate at the presidency in charge of defense Martin Mbarga Ngele. 

The mission was intended to give hope to hospitalised soldiers especially at the time the country is battling with the coronavirus pandemic.




Close to thirty patients at the Police Medical Center GMI and the 5th military Hospital - Up Station benefitted from the package. The General was aided by the various chiefs of center at the hospital.

While  handing the envelops, General Nkar Valere whished the patients a quick recovery and also enjoined  them to observe measures put in place by the state to kick out the novel coronavirus disease. He visited all wards in the hospital where he listened to the painful stories of soldiers and paramilitary workers in sick beds.



At the hospital in GMI, General Nkar Valere was shown a newly constructed hospital worthy of hosting forty patients but yet pending furnishing.





The beneficiaries alongside their care providers appreciated government's solidarity gesture.

During the mission, the press had the opportunity to observe measures taken by the military with regards to COVID-19. Military sources told the press that decontaminated solutions are used in disinfecting their working premises plus the use of face masks and hand sanitizers prescribed by the state in fighting the virus.
