St. John of God Catholic Health Centre Yassa is one of the health Institutions in the Japoma health district of the Littoral Region run by the Hospitaller Brothers of St. John of God. It is about 1 KM from the Douala-Yaoundé highway. Yassa is found in Douala three subdivision; Wouri Division of the Litoral Region of Cameroon. It covers a surface area of 298 km. sq. with a population of about 1500 inhabitants. It is bounded to the east by Bwang, to the west by Ngodi Bakoko, to the south by Yatchika and to the North by Mbanga Bakoko villages. Patients come from all over these villages to our centre including other villages like Manuka, Dibamba, Mbongo and all the other subdivisions of the Wouri Division. Most of these villages are without Medical practitioners and most often private individuals have their Clinics where they offer clinical services. The health centres and hospitals are mostly concentrated in the Douala city. The main activity of the people here is fishing and Subsistent agriculture and other petty business like “buyam sellam” and ‘hawking’. It’s also worth noting that the population of Douala (Wouri Division) is over 4 million people concentrated in all the 5 subdivisions. Yassa is seen as a conurbation in the Douala city given the rapid expansion of the city in few years to come.
