–    Enmore, Industry and Kitty to followBy Tiffanne Ramphal An overcrowding of the Accident and Emergency Unit at the Georgetown Public Hospital Corporation (GPHC) has resulted in the health facility undertaking measures to lessen the cluster,Wholesale Authentic Jerseys, while allowing for more urgent conditions to be dealt with in a timely manner.Being implemented as a pilot project since mid-April, the Campbellville Community Health Centre, one of the secondary health facilities operating under the GPHC, has been extending its weekly operating hours to accommodate patients with non-emergency cases, seeking attention at the city hospital.Dr. Prashad during a session with a patientCurrently, instead of operating from Monday to Friday, at 08:00 hours to 16:00 hours, which constituted a ‘regular’ working week; the health centre is being opened for an added four hours on Tuesday afternoons and on Saturday morning, from 08:00 hours to midday.According to Dr Kampta Prashad, who has been operating at the Campbellville Health Centre for the past year, the added services are to be seen as efforts to “take off some of the work load from the Georgetown Hospital.”The doctor explained that it is, at times, difficult for those who have more serious health conditions to be served at the city hospital as needed; since the room may be flooded with persons needing attention for more trivial health issues, such as the common cold or cough. The doctor pointed out that such issues can be dealt with at the health centre level.Hence, providing similar treatment, but at a different location,NFL Jerseys China Cheap, was seen as the best course of action, as it allowed for all patients to be treated, while those with more serious concerns can be dealt with as priority. It also contributed to lessening the congestion at the city hospital.A direct spin-off benefit from the extended operating hours of the health facility, Dr Prashad added, was that it allowed for persons who worked secularly to access medical services, since the Tuesday afternoon session went for four hours beyond regular working hours.Ever since the opening of the clinic for extended hours on Tuesday and Saturday,Wholesale NFL China Jerseys, the doctor reported that the patient load has been increasing every month. He informed that in the project’s initial month,Arizona Diamondbacks Fernando Rodney Jersey, an average of 100 persons were seen during the extended hours. However, counting three months down the line, the numbers have multiplied. He informed that just recently, he saw 48 patients in one afternoon.The doctor opined that since the extended operations are carried out on a “walk-in” basis, the majority of persons may not necessarily be coming from just the Campbellville area.“We are not only seeing persons from the Campbellville catchment area. We have seen persons all the way from Canal,Authentic NFL Jerseys Wholesale, West Bank Demerara and from locations way up the East Coast.”Furthermore, since there is currently no doctor operating at the Sophia Health Centre,China Jerseys Cheap, Dr. Prashad noted that residents from the community have been “overflooding the (Campbellville) clinic”.According to the doctor, not only has an increase in clientele impacted on the extended hours, but the turnout during the regular opening hours has also improved. Recent records show that up to 1000 additional patients are being seen on a monthly basis.He said that the response has been very encouraging, as patients have shown that they welcome the efforts being made by the health care specialists.The doctor noted that there are repeated comments about the “lesser waiting time” which is a significant decrease, compared to the time it takes to seek medical attention at the Georgetown Hospital.In addition, medication needed for the common flu, cold and cough; the chronic diseases – diabetes and hypertension and skin infections, are all readily available at the health centre, and thus omits time spent waiting at the city hospital’s pharmacy.Following the successful pilot of the project at the Campbellville Health Centre, three other secondary health facilities, also governed by the GPHC, will be implementing similar services in the near future. These were identified as the Kitty Community Centre, located in Georgetown and the Industry and Enmore Health Centres, located on the East Coast of Demerara.
