About H.O.P.E founder:

The vision of the inception of HOPE Higher Institute of Healthcare Professions is credited to the founder Dr. Fonya Claudine NkezeepseAtabong. From childhood she spent most of her time from one clinic to another due to ill health. She aspired to become a doctor to help others feel better and not felt the way she did most of the time. She later achieved her dream to become a nurse and progressed to attain her doctorate degree in nursing practice. Soon after her terminal degree, she lost her father to healthcare complications in Cameroon, and ever since, Dr. Atabong has made efforts to contribute to the healthcare system in her motherland Cameroon by engaging in various productive and educative life changing opportunities. Along with other consultants of like minds, she founded HOPE Higher Institute of Healthcare Professions so she can contribute her wealth of knowledge to Help Others Pursue Excellence in Academics who aspire to become frontline healthcare workers serving their respective communities like herself. She strongly believes in hands on practical, skills laboratory and simulation experiences which enhances students’ knowledge, skills and attributes/attitudes (KSA) which especially builds a student’s confidence level in caring for people. “We live life ones and a human being’s life irrespective of their health status is not an experiment. So, I strongly believe leaners need an environment to practice and translate theory into practice prior to caring for an actual sick person. The more opportunity students have to train the safer care is given to those in need. In all my years in academia and acute care settings, I believe this is the best exposure healthcare learners can possibly have to build their experience and confidence level to truly help save lives positively and, it is my hope to integrate such world class experience in the education provided at HHIHP” Said Dr. Atabong. So, to all prospective students of HHIHP on behalf of our founder and management team, we welcome you to a learning environment that will change your life experiences forever.
