a report about health service management attachment carried out at wattuba health centre iii in wakiso district

Description

Introduction :This report is about the health service management attachment carried out at Wattuba Health Centre III . Activities :There are variety of services that Wattuba health centre III offers and I took part in a number of them that is ; I was able to participate in child immunization during outreaches and at the facility, participated in antenatal care for pregnant women , cervical cancer screening , participated in the ART clinic by clerking and also giving out medications to HIV patients ,Drug store management and waste management . I was able to learn about how the health centre reports , and attended staff meeting at the facility . Challenges encountered in the field : The disturbing and tiresome process of getting approval to practice at the health facility where a full week was spent moving to and fro the facility and the district in order to get approval signatures to start practicing . Less working space while at the hospital since different departments like Pharmacy , Antenatal,OPD and TB clinic would share the same small space hence making it difficult to accommodate students .Shortage of medical supplies while at the facility which hindered efficient health service delivery to patients .Dust and sunshine heat was also an issue faced . Conclusion: The attachment at Wattuba health centre III was fruitful despite the many circumstances encountered . Recommendations: I would recommend the health facility to create more space in the facility so as to allow more students for practice.s .I would recommend the school to carry out more supervision for the students while on field attachments. I also continue to recommend the school to help the students in getting places for attachment because it requires a hectic process.
