Impact de l’œuvre du docteur Jamot dans le développement de La ville d’Ayos : 1922-2022

Abstract

Dr. Jamot, who stayed in Ayos around the 1920s, carried out a titanic work. This is why we have brought a reflection on "the impact of Dr. Jamot's work on the development of the city of Ayos: 1922-2022". To achieve this, we asked ourselves the question of what are the benefits Jamot's presence in Ayos? To answer this question, we set ourselves the following objectives: to present the man and his environment; to present the man in action, that is to say the different areas of intervention; to show his influence on the socio-political and economic-cultural aspects in Ayos, and to present the difficulties encountered by both Dr. Jamot and the populations of the locality of Ayos; then we proposed solutions to remedy them. The diachronic approach allowed us to develop our work. It emerges that the impact of the work of the French doctor is perceived on the political and administrative level, through the marks of distinction made by the Cameroonian government in order to recognize the work accomplished by the doctor colonel. On the health level, through the fight against sleeplessness and by ricochet the other diseases that were rampant in the locality and of which Ayos which was the base of the anti-sleepiness treatment center, gave birth to the hospital center which remains and remains one of the main legacies that Ayos has benefited from, and continues to be the place par excellence to treat the sick and other epidemics that undermine the health of the populations. On the economic level, through the growth of the local economy which continued thanks to the field work started by Dr. Jamot and the local populations which consisted of feeding the sleepless and promoting nutrition for all, this agriculture is modernizing over time and remains a strong link in the local economy. On the socio-cultural level, through the continuous training of the populations, which since the period of recruitment on the job of auxiliaries, has improved by becoming more professional and continues to train citizens. All this despite the difficulties encountered for which the solutions are on the way to improve and better guarantee the work started by Dr. Jamot, in order to contribute more to the development of the locality.
