After Blood Donation: The Fomunyoh Foundation (TFF)
President lays wreath for Cameroon train accident victims
October 31, 2016
The event of Saturday October 29, 2016 at the crash site some 5km to the Esseka
train station was solemn. A prayer from a Christian and another from a Moslem
Dr. Christopher Fomunyoh then bowed in honour of his departed compatriots.
He was accompanied by local administrative authorities who briefed him on the
circumstances of the accident and immediate measures that were taken to limit
the causalities.
Earlier, the TFF President visited the Esseka hospital that offered first aid to
the victims. Here he encouraged the medical staff for showing such compassion
even under difficult circumstances.
It should be recalled that a day before, on Friday October 28, 2016 he donated
his blood at the Yaounde Central Hospital and Emergency Centre.
The blood bank had ran dry following a ghastly rail derailment at Esseka on
October 21, 2016, that has so far claimed close to One Hundred (100) lives with
many more still in dire need of medical attention in various hospitals.
He was shown around by the Director of the Yaounde Central Hospital, Dr. Pierre
Joseph Fouda and his close staff, to whom the President of TFF like he did to
those in Esseka, handed a financial initiative for their endurance and as a sign
of encouragement during these trying moments.
