BBHD receives CBC Executive President
“You are ethical examples and I admonish you to keep that please…. Truth, Equity, and Development are my working sticks”. Rev. Dr. Nditemeh Charlemagne, CBC Executive President, made these utterances during his 2024 maiden visit to Douala Field at Bonaberi Baptist Hospital Douala on Friday April 26.
As the EP stepped his feet on the soils of Bonaberi Baptist Hospital, he was received with a bouquet of flowers and was guided by Rev. Nchambeli Ezekiel, the Douala Field Pastor and Madam Fon Rose Nyimeh, the Administrator of Bonaberi Baptist Hospital to shake hands with the aligned men of God and EXCO members of the hospital. Through this congregational and administrative tour, the EP majestically moved into the Chapel where he was highly welcomed by expectant staff.
In her words of welcome, the Hospital Administrator, Madam Fon Rose Nyimeh thanked the EP for making time out of his tight schedule to visit BBHD of which he has done so thrice.
“Most of the staff should have gone home by now, but we are still here to say you are most highly welcome to us. The best you can have of a man is not his money nor his kids, but time and competences communicated in his physical presence, applied in various forms with you in focus as it’s the experience we are having today. This comes sometimes like your smiles, handshakes, your expression of concerns and that is what we are talking about: the value of one’s presence to another. We want to thank you for the air of warmth, peace and joy, love and beauty your presence is giving to this atmosphere… We are “superbly” honoured to have you” – words of welcome from Madam Fon Rose to Rev. Dr. Nditemeh Charlemagne.
The Administrator drew the EP’s attention to the growth path of the hospital. The EP then received a souvenir parcel handed to him on behalf of the Hospital Administration by the Supervisor of Nursing Services, SNS, Mr. Mbanye Lucas.
The Administrator was preceded by a word of welcome from the staff representatives who saluted the Executive President for his uphill task at the helm of the Cameroon Baptist Convention.
Talking to the attentive crowd, Rev. Dr. Nditemeh thanked the staff for the warm reception.
“The amazing thing which is good is that each time I come here; the place seems to be bigger than I left it last time. Though the same building, it is expanding in infrastructure and population,” the EP remarked. He equally thanked the Administrator and the staff representatives of BBHD for presenting their ordeals as a hospital.
For over 30 minutes, he spoke with a lot of candor and firmness to the audience.
His words resonated with a lot of hope and assurance.
” I want to thank you from the address of the Administrator and the staff reps that, you are ethical examples and I admonish you to keep that please. Don’t allow yourselves to be contaminated by unethical examples,” the man of God pointed out. He likened the word ethical to the unwavering commitment of the BBHD staff despite the salary crisis, tough economic nature of Douala and others. From the EP’s mouth, Bonaberi Baptist Hospital Douala is one of CBCHS facilities working with a clean sheet as far as ill scandals are concerned.
Rev. Nditemeh Charlemagne appreciated the collegial collaboration that exists between the hospital and churches in the Bonaberi Association. ” I appreciate the collaboration that exists between the pastors and the hospital”. He used the opportunity to charge the audience to remember that CBC is a tree with branches and togetherness is a prerequisite.
“Remember pastors that we are one, let’s stand beside one another, there should be mutual support. Let us patronize the health centers as our own. I pray the testimonies from Bonaberi should be permanent in the CBC,” he admonished.
The CBC proprietor led his address to rest with the incoming new leadership at the helm of the CBC Health Services.
” I want to tell you that the CBC Health Services has a new Director and his name is Mr. Ngum Samuel, …switch and tune to that frequency,” the EP heralded. He assured the staff that the transition is at the orientation phase. “Presently, orientation is going on and sooner than soon handing over will happen,” the EP announced.
The visit was graced with invocational prayers to God as the Men of God together with staff prayed for BBHD, the CBC Health Services and the CBC in general. It all eded with photo shoots. The EP and his entourage continued to Mboppi where he visited MBHD staff and all Christians of Douala on Saturday April 27, 2024.
