New Ambulance

 

Upon receiving the ambulance on the 26^th July 2016, Nursing Officer in Charge of Kunjingini HSC, Leona Wamasimbi thanked the Diocesan Health Secretary, Sr. Celine Yakasere and said the ambulance will greatly assist in doing Outreach Clinics, Maternal and Child Health Programs and do referrals of severe cases. We have been receiving an influx of patients as far as Torembi, Chambri, Korogu, Burui, North Wosera and Maprik as well. These people come from beyond our catchment area because we continue to open doors and provide the quality of health care they need. They timely delivery of the new ambulance will really boost our work.

The current ambulance they are using is 12 years old. It was donated by Save the Children Health Project in 2004.

She said she is aware of the increasing demand of quality health care but she cannot attend to all at once, all I can do is do my best.

SLAP Training, Wewak

A total of 33 nursing officers have successfully completed a week workshop on Service Level Activity Planning (SLAP).

The workshop was hosted by Catholic Church Health Services, E.S.P with the support from Christian Health Services (CHS) and East Sepik Provincial Health Office.

The aim of the SLAP Workshop is to train the nursing officers in charge of Catholic run health facilities on program/activity planning and setting health program targets and objectives to effectively and efficiently utilize vital scarce resources to deliver health care services to the people. Monitoring of health programs performance at the health facility level was one of the key components of the workshop.

Workshop facilitator, Mr Bernard Rutmat, Deputy CEO of CHS, said similar workshops should be conducted in the future and he will be delighted to help. East Sepik Provincial Health Advisor, Mr. Albert Bunat, at the closing of the workshop, said such training is important and as partners in health we should support each other in providing the necessary health services to the people.

The workshop was an accomplishment and the participants were thankful to the Catholic Church Health Secretary and the partners for making the training possible. The Workshop ended on Friday, 14^th November.
