Hope Clinic Sealed For Alleged Financial Mismanagement

By Olive Ejang Tebug Ngoh

The Meme administration has sealed one of the best private hospitals in Meme Division, “Ass. PARMA PER LA VITA”   operating under the name, Hope Clinic Parma-Kumba.

Patients and the entire population were taken aback when the director, Dr Jerry Etabon Esua, discharged all patients from the hospital. Those who were still undergoing treatment were advised to continue in other hospitals.

The Post learnt that the closure of the clinic stems from financial mismanagement from the director and close collaborators.Their Italian based partners reportedly became unsatisfied with the financial malaise and opted for the appointment of a new director of the hospital.

Our source explained that the hospital’s paediatrician, Dr Juliet Ndaka was about to be appointed director, when Esua stepped in and filed a complaint at the Meme High Court in Kumba through his lawyer, Barrister Daniel Ngenko.

Esua reportedly ordered for the closure of the hospital while they worked out a strategy of better management with their foreign partners. Ndaka is said to have filed a counter motion through her lawyer, ordering that the hospital should not be closed.

During the hearing on December 19, the court ordered the closure of the hospital.All attempts to get Esua comment on the situation proved futile as several phone calls fell on the answering machine.

The hospital administrator, and husband to Ndaka, Celestine Ndaka told this reporter on phone that, only Dr Esua is better placed to comment on the issue. In the meantime, patients are clamouring for the reopening of the hospital whose services

have been recommended as satisfactory.Even the school of nursing and midwifery operated by the hospital has been closed down temporally.

[Lord Marshall]

Our good doctor friend did not think of the welfare of his patients nor the community he serves. Instead, he puts his ego before all. It is true that we, Cameroonians excel individually but often incapable of doing anything meaningful collectively. We are so selfish and greedy in such a way that we are unable to deliver greatness as a group.
