The Global Health Systems Solutions (GHSS) has been awarded two prestigious accolades for its outstanding contributions to community empowerment in Cameroon, particularly in Bamenda. This is in recognition of the transformative impact they have hand on the lives of the Bamenda denizens.
Over 1,400 individuals have so far benefited from GHSS’s initiatives, making a profound difference in the lives of many.

Tarke-Anoh, the Regional Coordinator for the North West Region for her “Excellence, Exemplary Leadership, & Resilience in Advancing Youth Empowerment” through the Education and Economic Empowerment Projects (EEEP).
The second accolade was awarded to Prof. Patrick A. Njukeng, PhD, the Executive Director of GHSS, acknowledging his “Strategic Leadership & Advocacy” in promoting youth empowerment in Cameroon.

It equally aims to conduct operational research to bolster healthcare programs, recognizing that health and empowerment are intrinsically linked.
As Mah O. Tarke-Anoh stated, “Health is not holistic without empowerment.” The organization has expanded its efforts beyond health initiatives to include programs aimed at economic and educational support.
