Douala, Cameroon – 01 June 2026 – MTN Cameroon launched the 2026 edition of 21 Days of Y’ello Care, MTN’s flagship employee volunteerism campaign – bringing together employees, partners, healthcare workers, and communities to help expand access to essential healthcare services.

Running from 1 to 21 June 2026 under the theme “Expand Equitable Health for Every Community,” this year’s campaign focuses on improving access to preventative, primary, and responsive healthcare, particularly in underserved and remote communities where access to care remains limited.

Key projects for the 2026 edition include:

• Construction and equipment of a diagnosis laboratory at Japoma District Hospital
• Deployment of a teleconference system at Douala General Hospital
• Renovation of the maternity ward at Djoungolo Hospital in Yaoundé
• Equipment of maternity yards in other regions, targeting rural and underserved communities.

The campaign aims not only to deliver healthcare services, but also to create measurable impact by increasing the number of people reached, expanding digitally enabled healthcare interventions, strengthening local partnerships, and improving access to essential services in underserved communities.

Wanda Matandela, CEO Of MTN Cameroon, said, “For many families, especially in rural and underserved communities, accessing basic healthcare can still mean travelling long distances, waiting for hours, or going without care entirely. Through Y’ello Care 2026, our employees are stepping forward to support practical solutions that bring healthcare closer to the people who need it most.”

“What makes this campaign meaningful is that it is driven by our people working together with communities and local partners. Together, we are not only improving access to care, but also contributing to healthier, stronger, and more resilient communities.”

Now in its 19th year, Y’ello Care is a group-wide flagship MTN employee volunteering initiative that encourages MTNers to dedicate their time and expertise to driving positive social change. The campaign reflects MTN’s purpose to enable the benefits of a modern connected life for everyone and is anchored in the company’s core values.

Throughout the 21 days, MTN Cameroon employees will work alongside healthcare workers, NGOs, local leaders, and volunteers to deliver initiatives tailored to the realities of different communities. By combining connectivity, innovation, and human action, MTN Cameroon aims to help bridge healthcare access gaps while creating lasting impact beyond the campaign period.
