Banso Baptist Hospital (BBH) is the first of 5 Cameroon Baptist Convention Health Board (CBCHB) Hospitals. Established in 1949 out of a government cottage hospital with 4 small buildings and 20 beds, BBH has grown to a current bed capacity of 250 with a staff strength of over 400. BBH today stands as one of the most renowned hospitals in Cameroon. It provides exemplary services through Christ-centered, evidence-based health care practices to over 60.000 patients annually (in-patients and out-patients) from all over Cameroon and some neighboring countries. It has been nicknamed "America" because it was started by an American.
