Hon. Cyprian Awudu Mbaya of the Social Democratic (SDF) has accused the Minister of Health on Friday, April 1, 2016, at the glasshouse in Ngoa-Ekelle for telling lies.

“During your press conference of March 13, you made statements about what happened between the Nylon District Hospital and the Laquintinie Hospital on the Monique Koumatkel case. Were you there, Mr. Minister?

Were you at Nylon? At Laquintinie? Cameroonians believe everything you said during the press conference were lies,“ insisted the SDF MP. While the latter was trying to prove his case, André Mama Fouda “lies” (arguments) were far from being unflappable. The Minister of Health seemed feverish.

The accusations of the SDF Member of Parliament from Nkambe did not change the rhetoric of Mama Fouda since the beginning of Monique Koumatkel tragedy. The Minister of Health thinks that “the horrible scene which took place on March 12, 2016, at Laquintinie Hospital in the economic capital of Douala,” remains largely the fault of the family of the late Monique Koumate.

In his “defense” against the national representation, Mama Fouda reaffirmed that the deceased had arrived at the hospital Laquintinie in the trunk of a car, five hours after her death.

“I will like to inform the national representation that the Ministry of Health has set up an information device throughout the entire national territory. Everything is reported and analysed,“ says the MOH. A device that will allow according to Mama Fouda to have the contours of the death of Monique Koumatkel and her twin moments after the sequence of events.

“Every pregnant woman or child death is listed. Checking on the aftermath of the death of this lady. The only name I did not have was the name of PK13 Medical Center. But apart from that, I had all other details ” defended the MOH.

He even joined his argument to the report of the National Order of Physicians made public on Thursday, March 31 at Yaoundé (a document also which the Minister received from the hands of a colleague a few minutes before he faced the deputies).

A report that recalls the corroborate assertions made by the Cameroon minister of health in the aftermath of the death of Monique Koumatkel and her children on March 12.

A Conclusions that was befitting for the Minister, as the report argues that the deceased had left the PK13 Medical Centre against medical opinion on 11 March when she showed signs of preeclampsia.

She died the next day in the early hours at the PK13 health centre, or paramedics advised the family to go to the hospital Laquintinie mortuary. The family rather made stops at the Nylon District Hospital, then to Camp-Yambassi (where of Monique was pronounced the death) before arriving at 1 pm in Laquintinie.

“Clinical clinicopathological data confirm the deaths by eclampsia complication “highlighted the MOH while trying to read parts of the report of the National Order of Doctors of Cameroon.
