Proud Moment for Community Vision Group, !!!

We are thrilled to share that the Coalition for Global Hepatitis Elimination (CGHE) has spotlighted our recently concluded Hepatitis B Birth Dose Advocacy Project on their official website!

Implemented from January to July 2025 across Ndu and Tubah Municipalities in the North West Region of Cameroon, this project worked to raise awareness, build capacity, and strengthen collaboration toward introducing and scaling up the Hepatitis B Birth Dose vaccine in Cameroon.

Our journey culminated in a High-Level Stakeholder Meeting held in Yaounde on July 25th where we brought together government representatives, health experts, and community actors to reaffirm commitment toward a Hepatitis-free generation.

This international spotlight is a recognition of the tireless efforts of our dedicated volunteers, and partners who made this impact possible.

We remain committed to advancing public health advocacy and ending viral hepatitis in Cameroon by 2030.

At Community Vision Group (CVG), our greatest strength lies not only in our vision but in the passionate people who bring it to life—our volunteers. Today, as Country Director, I pause to pay tribute to these dedicated men and women whose selflessness continues to inspire me and our communities.

The just-ended Viral Hepatitis B Advocacy Project, funded by the Coalition for Global Hepatitis Elimination (CGHE) and the Task Force for Global Health (TFGH), is a shining example of their commitment. From schools to community halls, our volunteers carried the message of prevention, awareness, and advocacy with unmatched passion. They stood in marketplaces, visited classrooms, and engaged policymakers, ensuring that Hepatitis B is no longer a silent epidemic in our communities.

Their tireless work has not only educated thousands but also strengthened CVG’s mission to make health a pillar of peace and development. Volunteers are more than the backbone of our programs—they are the heartbeat of our movement. Their passion reminds us that real change is powered by ordinary people doing extraordinary things.

To every CVG volunteer: thank you for your courage, energy, and belief that healthier communities are possible. Your impact will continue to echo far beyond this project.
Julius Ntang, Country Director, Cameroon.

As we celebrate International Week to Protect Education from Attack, Community Vision Group (CVG) joins the the International Community to protect and promote education from Cameroon.

As we pause to honour the bravery of our teachers, children, parents, administrators, and every stakeholder who continue to stand strong in the face of adversity, we remain conscious of the fact that Education is a right, not a privilege. We must enable this right and ensure that every child has access to it.

However, in many parts of the world and right here in Cameroon, this right has been under threat for the past 8 years in the North West and South West Regions. Violence, fear, and attacks on schools have robbed children of their dreams and strip the society of its future.

But together, we can change this story. Every effort you make, whether by supporting safe learning spaces, encouraging a child to go to school, or speaking out against violence helps to protect education and keep hope alive.

Let us commit to ensuring that no child has to fear for their life when all they want is to learn, grow, and dream.

You too can take action today. With just 250 FCFA, you can support our School Feeding Programme which is pulling thousands of children back to the classroom in thet North West Region of Cameroon.

On June 10, our dedicated volunteers in Bamenda took to the airwaves at Dream FM for an impactful radio talk, raising awareness on the critical importance of the hepatitis B birth dose and its role in safeguarding infant health.

During the session, the team shared key information on:

✅ Timely Administration – The hepatitis B birth dose should be administered within 24 hours of birth, especially for infants born to hepatitis B positive mothers.
✅ Proper Vaccine Handling – Healthcare providers must ensure safe storage and handling for maximum effectiveness.
✅ Parental Involvement – Parents were encouraged to stay informed and actively discuss vaccination schedules with healthcare professionals.
✅ Myth Busting – Common misconceptions around vaccine safety and necessity were addressed, with an emphasis on the proven safety and long-term health benefits of the vaccine.
✅ Community Engagement – The team highlighted the power of outreach activities, workshops, and collaboration with local health providers in spreading awareness.
✅ Side Effects & Accessibility – Minor side effects like soreness or low-grade fever were acknowledged, but the benefits far outweigh the risks. The vaccine is often provided free through public health programs.
✅ Long-term Protection – When administered correctly as part of the full vaccination series, the hepatitis B vaccine can provide lifelong immunity, significantly reducing the risk of chronic liver disease and liver cancer.

🙌 A big thank you to everyone who tuned in and contributed to this vital conversation. Your engagement helps drive positive change in our communities. Let’s continue to spread the word and ensure that every child has access to this life-saving vaccine.

Strengthening the Fight Against Hepatitis B: Tubah Takes Action
by NGWI Brandy

In a significant move to tackle the burden of hepatitis B in Cameroon, Community Vision Group (CVG), in collaboration with the Tubah Council, organized a stakeholder engagement workshop aimed at strengthening the fight against the virus. The event convened policymakers, healthcare professionals, community and religious leaders, civil society organizations (CSOs), as well as pregnant and lactating mothers, to develop actionable strategies promoting the uptake and timely administration of the hepatitis B birth dose—ideally administered within 24 hours of birth—as part of routine immunization efforts.

Funded by the Task Force for Global Health (TFGH)/the Coalition for Global Hepatitis Elimination (CGHE).
The workshop highlighted the public health threat posed by hepatitis B in Cameroon and emphasized the critical role of early vaccination in preventing mother-to-child transmission (MTCT).

Speaking during the opening ceremony, Tubah’s First Deputy Mayor, Lord Mayor Nsaboh Nelson, warmly welcomed CVG and praised the timeliness of their intervention. He remarked,
“The health and well-being of our people, especially newborns, remain a top priority for the Tubah Council. Hepatitis B is a major public health concern, and its prevention, particularly through timely birth dose vaccination, is critical in safeguarding the health of our future generations.”
He added,
“Unfortunately, access to the hepatitis B birth dose vaccine remains a challenge in many communities, including ours. This initiative, therefore, could not have come at a better time.”

Also present was Dr. Ndzi Williams Nkuh, representing the Tubah District Medical Officer. He commended CVG’s ongoing efforts in hepatitis B screening, awareness raising, linkage to care, and birth dose advocacy. He also applauded the Minister of Public Health, Dr. Manaouda Malachie, for reinforcing national immunization efforts. Dr. Ndzi stated,
“As a medical practitioner, I have witnessed firsthand how lives, families, and dreams have been shattered because of this virus. The Minister’s decision to mandate the hepatitis B birth dose for all newborns—not just those born to hepatitis-positive mothers—could not have come at a better time.”
He stressed,
“With a considerable increase in hepatitis cases, early vaccination at birth is an essential step towards minimizing mother-to-child transmission (MTCT) and improving immunization efforts nationwide.”

During a working session, stakeholders discussed strategies to enhance the implementation of hepatitis B vaccination programs, identified challenges in administering vaccines, and proposed solutions to improve vaccine uptake within the municipality.

The Divisional Officer for Tubah Subdivision, Massango Metougue Narcisse, also participated in the workshop. He appreciated the relevance and urgency of the intervention, sharing a personal story about a relative’s struggle with hepatitis B:
“I witnessed my brother lose his dream of becoming a priest after being diagnosed with hepatitis B, a dream he had nurtured since childhood. Learning that the virus was incurable devastated him mentally.”
Reflecting on the workshop, he added,
“Based on what i have learned in this program, children born with hepatitis face even graver challenges, such as liver cancer and cirrhosis, which can crush their hopes and aspirations. So, it is imperative for us, as a community, to unite and fight this disease, so our children can live to their fullest potential.”

In a powerful demonstration of commitment, all stakeholders signed a commitment document, pledging to work collectively to enhance vaccine uptake and advance the fight against hepatitis B in Cameroon.

*The Founder and CEO of Community Vision Group (CVG), Gilbert Ngwaneh Miki elected Technical Adviser of the Cameroon National Society of Nutrition Scientists (CNSS) as the association Makes a Fresh Comeback after 7 years of Hibernation

On April 16, 2025, CNSS celebrated a significant milestone with the election of a new bureau, marking the end of a seven-year period of inactivity. Community Vision Group (CVG) through her CEO was actively involved in revival process and election of a new bureau with other leading professionals in the field of nutrition across Cameroon.

This development is particularly exciting for CVG, as our CEO, Dr. Miki Gilbert, was elected as one of the advisors to the society, despite not being physically present during the election. This recognition underscores the dedication and excellence of his work.

CVG looks forward to collaborating closely with CNSS to educate the community about nutrition and healthy eating habits, especially given the high prevalence of malnutrition in Cameroon.
The Cameroon National Society of Nutrition Scientists (CNSS) serves as the national organization for nutrition scientists in Cameroon. This association is dedicated to promoting nutrition science and research throughout the country.

As part of our advocacy efforts, we took to the streets of Bambui and Bambili in the Tubah Subdivision to continue our campaign, raising awareness to over 3000 people on the importance of the hepatitis B birth dose vaccine.

This outreach effort targeted the entire population of the municipality, with a particular focus on pregnant women and lactating mothers. We emphasized the critical need for timely administration of the birth dose—within 24 hours after birth—to ensure effective protection of newborns from the hepatitis B virus.

Recognizing that Tubah is a semi-urban area where traditional home births are still common, our campaign also engaged traditional birth attendants. We highlighted their vital role in encouraging mothers to vaccinate their babies immediately after birth, regardless of the setting.

The community was further educated on where and how to access the birth dose vaccine, and we reinforced the importance of sharing only accurate, evidence-based information when discussing hepatitis B and its prevention. To boost the reach and impact of our message, we distributed posters and flyers throughout the municipality to help support the dissemination of information.

This campaign is a step forward in our collective responsibility to protect future generations. Together, by prioritizing timely vaccination and spreading the right information, we can eliminate hepatitis B transmission from birth and build a healthier community.

Our advocacy efforts continues in the Ndu municipality, with our team undertaking door-to-door awareness campaigns to educate the public about Hepatitis B and the significance of the Birth Dose vaccine, focusing particularly on pregnant women, breastfeeding mothers, and healthcare professionals,with the objective of increasing screening, vaccine coverage and facilitate timely, routine vaccination within 24 hours of birth.

Globally, 296 million individuals are living with chronic hepatitis B, including 6 million children under the age of 5, with 4.3 million residing in Africa. In 2021, only 17% of newborns in Africa received the timely hepatitis B birth dose vaccine (Shimakawa et al., 2022). In response to these alarming rates, the World Health Organization is focusing on eliminating mother-to-child transmission (MTCT) through the implementation of the hepatitis B birth dose as one of its key strategies to reduce the burden of the virus.

In Cameroon, research suggests that approximately 2.250,000 individuals were infected with the hepatitis B virus in 2013, yet only 1500 linked to care and received treatment (Bigna et al., 2017). This disparity is attributable to multiple factors, including a lack of knowledge and the unavailability of accurate information, rendering awareness-raising crucial in mitigating MTCT and ultimately eliminating hepatitis B in Cameroon.

With one of our project objectives being to increase by 90% the number of pregnant women, women of child bearing age and their families being screened by the end of 2025, continuous grass root sensitization is vital so even the most remote parts of the country have access to vital information about hepatitis b, screening campaigns, the adult vaccine and most importantly the birth dose vaccines.

Give newborns a healthy start with the hepatitis b vaccine in the first 24 hours.
