Introduction: This report is about the health service management attachment carried out at Kawanda Health Centre III. I was able to participate in the following activities: child immunization at the facility, managing patients at OPD, participated in the ART clinic by giving out medications for the HIV patients, carried out waste management. I participated in giving antenatal services to pregnant mothers ,carrying out deliveries, family planning, maternity , and attended staff meeting at the facility, worked in the records department and was participated in the receiving of drugs and other medical supplies which was brought by the NMS. Challenges encountered in, the main challenge was getting approval to practice at the health facility where I took a full week moving up and down, to the facility and to the municipality in order to get approval. Shortage of drugs and other medical supplies at the facility. As a student I got challenge of feeding and transport fees and the number of students were many and sometimes they would sign days for each student. Conclusion: The attachment at Kawanda health Centre III was a success despite the many challenges faced. By the end of the attachment I had known how the facility is managed. Recommendations : I would recommend the health facility to budget well for medical supplies to avoid shortage .I would also recommend the school to take over this attachment to reduce the burden on students and also more supervision for the students while on field attachments.
