Dr. Gnipieven Tekombo Medical Centre – Care Beyond Healing.

16 October 2026 – As part of Pink October, the international breast cancer awareness month, our medical centre had the honour of welcoming Miss Cameroon 2026 for a special visit dedicated to raising awareness about breast cancer prevention and treatment.

During her visit, Miss Cameroon 2026 had the opportunity to discover the important work carried out by our medical centre in supporting women through breast cancer awareness, early detection, diagnosis and treatment.

The visit highlighted our centre’s commitment to women’s health and the importance of early screening in saving lives.

Through her presence, Miss Cameroon 2026 helped reinforce a powerful message: early detection saves lives, and together, we can make a difference in the fight against breast cancer.

We sincerely thank Miss Cameroon 2026 for her visit and her commitment to this important cause.

The Centre Médical Dr Gnipieven Tekombo successfully carried out its second humanitarian medical campaign in collaboration with the Swiss NGO CHEIRA during the month of April 2026.

As part of this important initiative, 40 patients received free surgical operations at the Centre. In addition, more than 1200 other patients benefited from medical consultations during the campaign. For many of these patients, living in vulnerable conditions and unable to afford specialized medical care, this initiative represented a unique opportunity to finally receive treatment and be relieved from years of pain and suffering.

This second collaboration with CHEIRA once again demonstrated the strong commitment of both partners to improving access to healthcare for disadvantaged populations in Cameroon. Without such humanitarian support, many of these patients would likely never have had access to the surgeries and medical attention they urgently needed.

The Centre Médical Dr Gnipieven Tekombo remains fully committed to its mission of improving medical care in Cameroon, particularly for the most vulnerable and underserved communities.
Following the success and impact of this campaign, the next humanitarian medical mission in partnership with CHEIRA is already scheduled for November 2026.

The attached video provides an overview of the entire process and highlights the life-changing impact of this medical campaign on the beneficiaries and their families.
