Cameroon Medical Council Suspends Doctors Over Negligence

On May 16, 2026, the Cameroon Medical Council suspended several doctors following disciplinary proceedings related to alleged medical negligence. The sanctions, ranging from six to twelve months, were imposed after cases involving surgical errors and inadequate clinical judgment led to high-profile patient deaths. The Council also set a deadline of June 30, 2026, for private health facility promoters without medical licenses to comply with administrative requirements or face closure. This move aims to address concerns over healthcare standards and ensure patient safety across the country.
