More than 49,000 Tuberculosis cases in Cameroon
Cameroonians joined their peers in the world on March 24,
2016, to commemorate World Tuberculosis Day on the theme, "Unite To End
Tuberculosis."
The day is meant
to raise public awareness on the fact that tuberculosis remains an epidemic in
most parts of the world, causing the deaths of nearly one and a half million
people each year, mostly in developing countries.
Cameroon is among the countries highly affected by tuberculosis
in Sub-Saharan Africa. World Health Organisation statistics estimate that there
are about 50,000 cases in Cameroon.
Statistics show
that 26,000 of the number are diagnosed. Co-infection TB-HIV concerns 36 per
cent of the patients. All patients have been receiving free anti-tuberculosis
treatment since 2014. Experts say the high death rate from tuberculosis is
attributable to co-infections.

Cameroonian scammer arrested in Montreal (canada
The Sûreté du Québec announced Wednesday the arrest of an alleged fraudster specialist of a scenario called "Black money scam", in which victims are invited to participate in the cleaning of soiled banknotes, then are robbed during the operation. Cyrille Ngogang, 49 years old, was caught red-handed in downtown Montreal Tuesday afternoon. He appeared in court this morning to be charged with fraud and breach of commitment. The man is not in his first trouble with the law: he was previously arrested by the SQ on 19 January for charges related to the same scheme, and had been able to resume its freedom under strict conditions pending his trial. There are several variants of the 'Black money' scenario, but all involve a so-called batch of cash that has been stained with a dye or colouring substance. Scammers ask their victim to provide money to clean the hoard.
