  abstract = {{E}thnographic material dealing with the contemporary viral hepatitis {B} and {C} epidemics in {C}ameroon provide a window onto the acute constraints and shortcomings of hospital care for patients, families, and health care workers. {A}lthough viral hepatitis has long been an invisible epidemic in international and global public health regimes, in {C}ameroon, it is diagnosed, made visible, and felt as a financially daunting and feared disease. {B}uilding on {A}nn {S}toler's framework of imperial ruins, {I} consider hepatitis as an iatrogenic disease, emerging from scarce and unsound hospital infrastructures, such as blood transfusion techniques, as well as colonial public health vaccination practices. {S}uch hospital technologies continue to produce anxieties, risk and excessive health expenses and hence cast their shadows on the future.},
