Lanzarote Help has reinforced its humanitarian aid in Cameroon, where it has been working for almost four years. The island's NGO, which manages a hospital in the African country, has begun to facilitate the transportation of the sick who, for various reasons, cannot access the health center.

This organization manages and finances a hospital in Sub-Saharan Africa and, specifically, works to offer decent healthcare to the Cameroonian population. "We don't want to stand still and wait for citizens to come to us. We want to be promoters of health, generators of both health and social well-being," said the NGO, which has decided to launch this initiative so that healthcare reaches the entire population.

"We cannot be passive, but we must offer alternatives to the problems that Cameroonians have. What in Lanzarote society is a simple reflex, in Cameroon is one of the main reasons why people do not access healthcare," they stressed.

In this way, Lanzarote Help has implemented a transportation service that, until very recently, "was unthinkable" for Cameroonians.
