The region also investigated suspected cases of Cerebrospinal Meningitis CSM, which laboratory tests later confirmed as negative.

He emphasized the importance of early detection, prompt treatment, and effective disease surveillance in managing infectious diseases, commending health personnel for their vigilance.

The Regional Director called for continued surveillance for CSM despite the negative test results and stressed the need for public education on disease prevention and seeking prompt medical attention. He affirmed the Directorate's commitment to strengthening disease surveillance, case detection, and response mechanisms, and highlighted the need for adequate resources, logistics, and personnel to support healthcare delivery, especially in hard-to-reach communities. The review meeting served as a platform to evaluate progress, identify gaps, and plan improvements for the second half of the year, with a focus on ensuring timely, equitable, and quality healthcare access for Oti region residents.
