"Medical checkups and treatments in hospitals are quite expensive, and I can't afford them again," Mfoumou said, expressing gratitude to the free clinic.
A Chinese acupuncturist inserted fine needles in Mfoumou's skin at specific points. Thanks to this traditional Chinese method, which is applicable to many health conditions, Mfoumou said she "now can feel my back and legs."
Michel Ndi has insomnia and heart problems, making it difficult for the 59-year-old to trek to his farm. He consulted almost all the specialists and was offered free treatments, including medicine, for his multiple conditions.
"Their kind and friendly manner heals you even before you start treatment," said the father of 10 children, "I am sure that in the next two or three days, I will be able to go (to) the farm without difficulties."
A total of 100 patients, aged from 20 months to 98 years, received diagnosis and treatments worth 1,500 U. S. dollars.
The free clinic ran for more than five consecutive hours, after which the folks offered the Chinese medical team a local dish called Kpem, a traditional meal made from cassava leaves.
China started to dispatch medical teams to Cameroon in 1975 and hundreds of medical professionals have worked in Cameroon since then.
