The World Health Organization Academy strengthened Cameroon’s preparedness for mass casualty incidents management


In a proactive effort to strengthen preparedness to the management of mass casualty emergencies, ten healthcare professionals from Cameroon recently participated in a WHO Academy training course on mass casualty management in Lyon, France from May 15 to 17, 2024. "The events at the stadium served as a stark reminder of the importance of preparedness for mass casualty incidents," remarked Dr. Tania Bissouma-Ledjou, Health Planning Advisor in charge of Health System Strenghtening at the World Health Organization (WHO) Country Office in Cameroon.
