The Cameroonian Polytechnique engineer Arthur Zang, inventor of the Cardiopad, a medical electronic tablet capable of collecting and transmitting by remote control the cardiac parameters of a patient, received on 2nd July 2015 in Yaoundé, the medal of Chevalier de l’ordre national de la valeur, as well as a cheque of FCfa 20 million representing the special award from the Cameroonian head of state, Paul Biya.

Joyous, the young Cameroonian inventor of 28 years said this cheque received from the minister of Scientific Research and Innovation, Madeleine Tchuinté, will allow his team, "in the coming days, to import the necessary equipment to finalise the assembly of the first 100 Cardiopad intended for the Cameroonian market".

It is recalled that a few days ago, the inventor of the first African medical tablet was complaining about the unavailability of funding of around FCfa20 million, for the production of the first batch of Cardiopad intended for use by Cameroonian hospitals. "The ministry of Public Health was meant to give us some contracts, in order to equip some hospitals. We were relying on the funds from this transaction to finance the final adjustments", lamented the sponsor of the start-up Himore Medical in a recent interview given to the national daily.
