This is in practical terms, we officially learned, a loan agreement of FCfa 58 billion, and a donation of FCfa 15 billion.

These funds will be used to finance the Project to strengthen the performance of the health system (PRPSS), whose goal according to the Cameroonian authorities, is to substantially improve mother and child health in the country.
