Mary Alieh Foundation donates to health facilities in Bamenda.

The equipment were donated to the health facilities recently in Bamenda. The first shipment of the donations from Mary Alieh Foundation prioritised the Alabukam and Ntinkag Health Centres.

According to the President of Mary Alieh Foundation, Loveline Nche Mafor, and her husband Edwin Nche, when the Foundation was launched in July 2023 and named after her mother, the late Mami Mary Alieh, they took some firm commitment to accompany the underprivileged facing health challenges.

In that regard, Ntinkag and Alabukam Health Centres are said to have gained the pride of place “because Mary Alieh Foundation wanted to honour the Mankon Queen Adelquine Bih Angwafor who in the process of giving birth lost her life and Alabukam because of dilapidations”.

The Chief Executive Officer, CEO, of Mary Alieh Foundation and her husband said they were proud and excited to present the first consignment of donations which: “We brought in from the United States of America. It would help in alleviating the livelihood of the needy back in the community”.

“…even though we are saying Alabukam and Ntinkag are our priorities, there are many Alabukams and Ntinkags out there," the Mary Alieh Foundation CEO said.

She has promised to make her society better not just in the North West Region where she hails from but determined to go beyond the boundaries to change lives.

Taking the cue, Mezam Senior Divisional Officer, Simon Emile Mooh, who represented North West Governor at the event said: “What I can say is thank you to founders of Mary Alieh Foundation. They have come to join the Presidential Programme of the Reconstruction and Development of the North West and South West Regions, PPRD".

For his part, the North West Regional Delegate of Public Health, Dr Kingsley Che Soh, noted that: "I want to express a word of gratitude to Mary Alieh Foundation for this wonderful donation. We all know we have been victims of a socio-political crisis for seven years and we all know that the health sector in particular has a lot from this crisis where in some situations, health facilities have been destroyed, equipment looted and even health personnels killed. So, we are looking at these donations as very timely".

“In as much as Mary Alieh Foundation has sacrificed so much to get these things to us, I want to call on those health Institutions and communities to make sure they put all these equipment and medical supplies that have been given to them into proper use and let it get to the needy. I want to tell Mary Alieh Foundation that if they are thinking of coming back in the future, they should also think of looking at the state of the equipment they have donated today about its utilization. We should be able to have maintenance culture. We should not just receive equipment and when they have some little problems, we abandon them," advised Fon Angwafor IV of Mankon.
