Cameroon focuses on health.


 The views of the deputy director of family health and planning for the Ministry of Public Health in Cameroon are expressed on the topics of population context and integrated programs. Integrated programs are relatively new to Cameroon and were instituted only in 1993. Cameroon has a population of around 13 million. Contraceptive prevalence is under 10%. Population growth is around 2.9%. The total fertility rate is 5.8 children/per woman. The infant mortality rate is 85/1000 live births, and the maternal mortality rate is 420/100,000 live births. The new strategy for family planning focuses on women's health. Cameroon women are compromised by abortions, maternal mortality due to family sizes over 10 children, teenage pregnancy, and insufficient income to meet family needs. Throughout the country primary health care centers offer a range of services including family planning. Only in urban centers is family planning offered as a separate service. The new strategy aims to involve men and the community in the family planning program. Program sustainability is expected as a result of cooperative exchanges between government, donors, and the community. Since 1991, government policy has encouraged a working relationship with nongovernmental organizations. Policy makers in Cameroon hope to benefit from JOICFP's experiences throughout the world and to follow the patterns of community participation established in Japan's family planning programs.
