CNA’s CBC HS Chapter Welcomes New General Supervisor of Nursing Services
The CBC Health Services (CBCHS) chapter of the Cameroon Nurses Association (CAN) has expressed satisfaction for having a voice in the Director of Health Services’ Office with the appointment of a General Supervisor of Nursing Services for the CBCHS. Mr Yosimbi Promise, Supervisor of Screeners and Nurse Practitioners is the first person to occupy the post of General Supervisor of Nursing Services, an appointment they believe is a significant milestone for nurses of the CBCHS. This was during a meeting held at the Baptist Centre on Saturday, August 24, which brought together Supervisors of Nursing Services as well as heads of department from different Health Services facilities across the country.
Representing the Director of Health Services during the event, the Personnel Manager of the CBC HS, Mr. Ndosak George called on the Nurses to fully align with the expectations of the Nursing Council of Cameroon and to ensure that all the Nurses of the CBC Health Services are registered into their different Councils while ensuring their operations and practices standardized across all CBC Health Services facilities. It was the administration’s hope that through the association, the young nurses joining the system will be well groomed for better healthcare provision and to ensure that they work relentlessly to sustain the quality of care that is given to patients in our facilities.
“Without the Nurse, there is no hospital and it will just be the work of the Nurse, done in a way that the patients are happy that the CBC Health Services will be talked about the way it is been talked about,” he concluded. The Personnel Manager was accompanied by the Assistant Administrator and Public Relations Officer for the CBC Health Services, Mr. Wango Barnabas.
In his keynote address, Mr Yosimbi emphasized the importance of the meeting which focused on adopting a new constitution and electing the executive. As General Supervisor of Nursing Services, Mr. Yosimbi acknowledged the challenges facing the nursing profession, including issues related to nursing training, changing disease trends, and epidemics. Despite the challenges, he was excited to accept his new position because of the confidence he has that they will work together. The Supervisor stressed the need for nurses to stay updated and maintain high standards in their practice, which is the pivotal role of nurses in the healthcare systems.
During the meeting, the Heads of Department and Supervisor of Nursing Services unanimously voted for a new organizational structure, with Ndong Etheldreda as President, Jator Brian as Vice President, and Tamon Eveline as Secretary and Yong Blessing as vice. Mbaye Lucas was elected as Financial Secretary with Nkeh Jenny as Vice meanwhile Ndzi Eric was voted treasurer. The nurses hope that this new structure will enhance their organization and effectiveness.
