According to the article titled, "The presidential couple out of the country and in poor health" in which the author reported indiscretions, Paul Biya journeyed to a hospital centre in Switzerland for heart problems and prostate cancer.

"A well-introduced source in the Cameroonian diaspora organizations noted that physicians and other Cameroonian nursing personnel or of Cameroonian origin working in the HUG (University Hospital of Geneva) were recently asked to take a leave" the French daily reported.

It was also revealed that Chantal Biya is not at the bedside of her husband, noting that the first lady of Cameroon did not accompany her husband to Switzerland.

This surgical procedure had taken her away from the country for several months. If his state of health permits, Paul Biya will leave Geneva later this week to join the first lady in their private residence in Yvelines, near Paris' wrote Le Monde.
