Enokpa Geriatric Association (EGA) was born out of my personal experience with my late parents and the challenges of healthcare accessibility in Cameroon. My father (Moses Effim Enokpa) and mother (Regina Ngob Enokpa) who died at the ages of 105 and 87 respectively.
During the later years of my father’s life, he developed dementia which meant he became dependent on the good will of others for his dignity and healthy living. Our family was able to provide for his needs, but we needed a humane touch to secure his dignified ageing in place. We were fortunate to have a family member (Mr. Arreyngang Pedro) who provided that humane touch and beyond at the bedside. Not every elderly person in Africa as a whole and Cameroon in particular, is as privileged as my parents were. It is not common to find nursing or elderly homes in Cameroon and getting help from family members is not guaranteed.
OUR Vision
The vision of ENOKPA GERIATRIC ASSOCIATION (EGA) is to improve the quality of life of the geriatric population within less privileged areas in Cameroon, Central Africa.
WE ARE ON A MISSION TO HELP
OUR MISSION
The mission of ENOKPA GERIATRIC ASSOCIATION (EGA) is to provide medical assistance, home medication monitoring, nutritional supplies, and health education to geriatric population in less privileged areas of Cameroon. Medications monitoring, medical equipment and healthy nutrition will be provided based on individual needs as much as possible. We will meet the beneficiaries at their point of need.
To achieve this goal, we will partner with manufacturers, geriatric support organizations and individuals who are sympathetic to this course for financial, material, logistical and human resources (doctors, pharmacists, therapists, and nurses).
