According to the WHO, health is a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being, and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity. It is both a perception and a representation, if we take into account the social determinants of health, which are true indicators of well-being. Integrating these determinants into our interventions enables communities to feel more involved in healthcare, so that the Cameroonian population remains in good health. To achieve this, we implement a wide range of health promotion initiatives through a synergy of targeted actions. In the age of digital health care, and given the large number of Internet users, including our clients, the Department of Health Promotion deemed it necessary to have a website. This site will enable us to disseminate normative documents and useful information, while at the same time providing a platform for exchanges in the interests of health and well-being. In addition, the site aims to facilitate the adoption of healthy behaviours desired by all, in conjunction with the actions of our community health workers, who we recommend act as perfect relays.  We wish everyone a pleasant use of our site, and would like to point out that the Department’s doors remain open for any further information you may require.
