Training at Nam Giang Hospital

Date Apr 10th, 2014

We came back to Nam Giang for the first training for doctors at district hospital after Dr Josh came and identified the need of the hospital.  We gave talks on cardiovascular disease management, hypertension and diabetes. Even though the incidence of these chronic diseases is increasing, the doctors at the hospital haven’t treated patients with diabetes and are referring patients to the far off provincial hospital. They all were very interested in the topics and asked a lot of questions and were very eager to see our treatment protocol – asking us to come next week to teach more but Dr Josh wont be here!

 So we will come back soon to introduce the protocol and provide them with advanced information on these diseases.

We also brought them 4 pulse – oximeters and a nebulizer which they really appreciated. They said they only have one pulse – oximeter and one nebulizer that they have to move around from ER to OR to the internal medicine department.They hope to have more to bring to Chaval clinic that is bigger than a commune clinic and covers all the high land communes far away from the hospital. We are looking for more medical equipments to help these doctors care for the large amount of patients they have.
