OVERVIEW
The Safeguarding Health in Conflict Coalition (SHCC) identified 31 incidents of violence against or obstruction of health care in Cameroon in 2022, compared to 10 in 2021 and 17 in 2020. At least 35 health workers were kidnapped and 12 were arrested in 2022. This was an increase from 2021, when three health workers were kidnapped and four were arrested. These kidnappings greatly impact health care providers’ ability to maintain safe staffing levels to effectively meet patient needs. This factsheet is based on the dataset 2021-2022 SHCC Health Care Cameroon Data, which is available for download on the Humanitarian Data Exchange (HDX).
