Etoug-Ebe Baptist Hospital, located in Yaoundé, holds the distinction of being the first CBC Health Services facility in French-speaking Cameroon. Initially established as an Elementary Health Centre on March 14, 1986, the facility steadily grew in scope and capacity until it was officially recognized as a hospital by the government in 2016. Today, it stands as a beacon of healthcare excellence, serving thousands of patients across Cameroon and beyond.
The hospital boasts a dedicated team of 280 staff members, including two Obstetric Gynaecologists, one part-time Cardiologist, one Internist, one Pediatrician, two Dental Surgeons, eight General Practitioners, seven Screeners, and three Nurse Practitioners. As of March 14, 2024, the hospital has been receiving an average of 12,000 patients each month. While the majority of these patients come from the Centre Region and its surrounding areas, many also travel from the South and East regions of Cameroon, as well as neighboring countries such as Equatorial Guinea, Gabon, and the Central African Republic.
In response to growing healthcare demands, the hospital launched its maternity services on July 16, 2021. A year later, on August 19, 2022, the maternity theatre was introduced to efficiently manage obstetric emergencies in a dual-capacity setting. The maternity unit is well-equipped, featuring 18 beds, six post-surgical beds, a private ward, and a semi-private ward. It also houses modern neonatal care equipment, including radiant warmers and an incubator with integrated phototherapy for newborns requiring specialized care.
The hospital’s Medical and Pediatric units operate around the clock, ensuring continuous care for patients. The Pediatric unit is equipped with ten beds, while adult female patients are accommodated in a dedicated ten-bed ward. To further expand its inpatient capacity, the hospital inaugurated a temporary 11-bed men’s ward on April 7, 2023, addressing the growing need for male patient admissions.
Outpatient services at Etoug-Ebe Baptist Hospital are available 24/7, ensuring that patients have access to quality medical care at all times. With its commitment to excellence and patient-centered care, the hospital continues to be a trusted healthcare provider, not only for the local community but also for individuals seeking medical assistance from across the region.
