The hospital project is finished as a shell construction and is an excellent example of local, environmentally conscious, resource-saving construction technique (see pic and as a counter sample an advanced hospital construction!).
It takes strong account of traditional building skills with local materials.
Now, in extension of the project, a new project will be initiated, in which the possibilities of the modern times shall be intewgrated, e.g. GPS and use of drones.
At the same time, the Royal University Center with the Appropriate Technology department would also be giving a boost to giving high-tech hands-on experience and passing it on to students.
Successfully outsourced and now independent are the areas of pharmacy in Douala and the practice of therapy in Alahkie, which will have a positive effect on the further development of the hospital project.
Royal University Centre
The Department of Appropriate Technology of the University will take up the idea of the Royal Development Corporation and give the students new hands-on experience, because not the theory is the hurdle, but the practical experience for the activity of the next generation.

Expo Announcement
Thursday, May 3, 2018
This small exhibition shows the work of about 20 years done by the CAT. Likewise, cooperations (e.g. Akwatinuighah and Akaankang with CAT, RDC, SPATH) and special projects (e.g. weather station, drinking water tests) have been taken into account.
Particularly noteworthy are achievements of CAT in connection with the Training on the Job Initiative for young men, as well as international projects about handicrafts, as well as the national projects on alternative technology (in the districts of the NW region, but also other regions), for which various Awards and Prizes were given.
Another initiative worth mentioning is the Kids Club, where children were playfully introduced to arts and crafts and alternative techniques.
Collaborations have successfully taken place between CAT and their partners and other foreign volunteers through the initiative of Viennese designer and initiator Dr Senta Siller.
