During the period 2001–2002 (A), the only known BU endemic health districts were Ayos and Akonolinga in the Nyong basin of central Cameroon [19]. The first 2 BU-DTCs were created in these districts in 2002 to begin BU care in Cameroon. The national BU survey in 2004 following the creation of the NBUCP revealed the presence of BU in 19 other health districts (B). Three new BU-DTCs were created in 2006 in the 3 most endemic of the 19 health districts namely Bankim in the Adamawa region, Mbonge in the South west Region and Ngoantet-Mbalmayo in the Centre Region. From 2006–2014, the 5 BU-DTCs in the country have treated BU cases originating from sixty-four health districts (C).
