On Saturday June 18 2016, every road in Bamenda led to Azam
Hotel as the movers and shakers of the North West Region converged in the
Banquet Hall of this hotel on Bali Road to join Dr, Kingue Thompson, the
director of the Bamenda Regional Hospital in celebrating his recent reception
of the Knight of National Order of Valour during the May 20th
celebrations commemorating the National Day of Cameroon.
Rev. Dr. Festus Asana, the Moderator Emeritus of the
Presbyterian Church in Cameroon in his capacity as the Chairman of the occasion
said the recognition of Dr. Kingue by the President of the Republic of Cameroon
to give him that honour of the Knight of the Order of Valour was a result of
long years of hard work on the part of the Medical Doctor. Referring to the
time when Dr. Kingue Thompson was the Director of the Limbe Regional Hospital,
the Right Reverend Dr. Asana Festus said while visiting the Limbe Regional
Hospital at the time he noted the stamp of a disciplined director. He mentioned
among other things the neatness of the hospital, the precise labeling system
and the general organisation of the hospital. This spirit of hard work and
discipline he said had certainly been moved to the Bamenda Regional Hospital
with the transfer of Dr. Kingue Thompson to the North West Region.

The Secretary General at the North West Governor’s Office
called on Dr. Kingue to double his efforts and accompany the Head of State
President Paul Biya towards achieving his goal of emergence in 2035. He said
the President of the Republic doesn’t necessarily chose only from among the
bosses for the award of the medal of Knight for the Cameroon Order of Valour. The
Director of the Bamenda Regional Hospital he said now belonged to a special
class of Cameroonians valued for what they have put in.
Dr. Kingue Thompson on his part said he wished this medal was
a cake that he could cut into bits and share to each and everyone present. He
equally seized the opportunity to thank all the hospital workers who had
collaborated with him to produce the results that had made it possible for him
to receive such an award. He equally thanked all the religious whose prayers he
said had contributed to the successful work at the Bamenda Regional Hospital.
Thanking the contingent that had come up from Limbe, he went ahead to
congratulate the media for the wonderful work they have been doing.
HRH Molive Mulungu Otto, Chief of Batoke and President of
Limbe Chiefs’ Conference cum Public Relations Officer of Pan African Council of
Traditional Authorities said “what I witnessed here today makes me feel proud
for the Director of the Regional Hospital Bamenda Dr. Kingue Thompson. It shows
that there are people we still have to rely on. What he has been doing was
certainly being watched and I think the medal awarded to him by the Head of
State is not a mistake. Dr. Kingue is somebody who has been working for quite a
long time and in Limbe we saw how he changed the face of the Regional Hospital
in Limbe. Now in Bamenda he is doing it so I think this is somebody who deserves
an award. I seize this opportunity to tell my people that hard work pays and
that those who are in services should do it whole heartedly so that they too
may be awarded. I thank the Head of State through the Governor of the North
West Region for choosing Dr. Kingue Thompson for such a prestigious award. That
makes us the Fako people to feel proud.”
