Prevention, Screening,
Medical assistance
at the heart of communities
The AKUA'CARE Foundation brings care closer to vulnerable populations in Cameroon: health education, screening campaigns, home medical assistance and support for mothers and young people.
A foundation born from a simple conviction: health is a right.
