Prof. Tih receives Another Media Award as Outstanding Healthcare Leader
Accolades, Special Recognitions and Press Awards, have become the wall frames that adorn and beautify the offices of the Director of CBC Health Services, Prof Tih Pius Muffih. This is testimony of the work he has done at the helm of the institution.
The public health luminary with decades of service has continued to receive praise for his selfless services and achievements. The most recent is a National Press Award of Excellence as a Champion of Peace and Welfare of Cameroonians for 2023. The Award from the Watchdog Tribune Media Group recognizes Prof Tih “as the most resilient, most committed, and most selfless Director with impressive records of never ending the search for excellence within the CBC Health Services. The recognition describes him as “A GREAT REFORMER AND FOUNDER OF MODERN CBCHS NATIONWIDE”.
The award was handed to the Director during the morning devotion of Saturday March 9, 2024. In his hand over ceremony, the Publisher/Director of the Watchdog Media Group Ezikiel Nkunawe Dotta made a litany to justify the choice of the recipient as decided upon by the National Press Award Committee and a Jury of 12 members viz;
- Considering the quite remarkable achievements in the CBCHS by Prof Tih
- Considering Prof Tih’s strides in healthcare leadership
- Considering that Prof Tih is one of Africa’s most gifted and most performant leaders in healthcare services
- Mindful of the fact that Prof Tih Pius has led the CBCHS Department for a record of 4 decades with a total selfless commitment in the reformation, transformation of the CBCHS from near-nothing to the best healthcare provider in the state of Cameroon and beyond
- Understanding that the CBCHS under Prof Tih as Director is the indomitable leader in the provision of high-quality health care services by the church on the African continent
- Considering the several state-of-the-art hospitals and health centers that the CBCHS department runs across Cameroon
- Mindful of the quality training centers in Mbingo Baptist Hospital in partnership with the John Hopkings University in the USA that brings in well qualified medical practitioners from around Africa for specialization in surgery and internal medicines, et cetera;
The CBC Health Services is widely acclaimed as the pride of not only the CBC, but the entire nation of Cameroon.
The award committee acknowledges the team work spirit of Prof Tih which they admire as a virtue of a genuine intellectual who works closely with Administrators, Senior Staff and also ensures unity and passion in all staff working with the institution. The award committee extended their appreciation to the work of the ‘competent [health] board technocrats’ who collaborate with the Director and always strategize for better performance. He [Prof Tih] refers to all staff as his collaborators and has reminded them often that he only receives these awards because of the work that they do collectively.
It was a moment for the Director to once more say THANK YOU to all staff across the Health Board for their indefatigable, passionate and selfless service delivery. He called on them to continue to “uphold what builds and not what destroys”. He has continued to build and will continue in the same spirit, he declared.
In some of his recent tours, the Director has stopped at nothing to continue to encourage staff and ensure the expansion of service delivery. Visiting Pouss in the Far North Region of Cameroon in February 2024, the mission has been to establish a health center that will serve the people of Cameroon and the people of Chad. This announcement received acclamation from staff at the devotion.
The CBC Health Services’ progressive expansion reveals the zeal of a health institution that strives to reach out to everyone with quality healthcare delivery.
