Berbérati

History

The city was founded in 1893. In the early 20th century Berbérati was part of Oubangui-Chari, one of the four territories comprising French Equatorial Africa. In 1911 it was ceded to the German Empire under the terms of the Morocco–Congo Treaty and the Treaty of Fez, becoming part of the German colony of Neukamerun, until it was reconquered by the French in 1916 following the defeat of German forces in western Africa during World War I.

Health

The state-owned university hospital of Berbérati is an unfenced complex of several bungalows near the town center. The hospital was constructed in the 1950s and operated by French military doctors until the 1980s. The French hospital administrators were succeeded by an expatriate Italian Catholic nun, although the hospital also receives Protestant support.
