Condolences and Prayers

The charming Chamkhar town was reduced to ashes in  matter of few hours. It will not be the same again. It was a lovely site to pass through and drive by the town till recently. It is extremely sad and tragic!

My deepest condolences to the families affected. Our prayers and always with you.

Visit to the Book Fair

A three day book fair is underway at the Mongar Sports Ground. Various stalls packed with visitors, mostly school children and teachers, were seen on the first day.

For otherwise calm  Mongar, this will be a good timeout!

If you havent been there, do so..you may find something for your kids!

Somethings needs to be done soon!

We have probably waited quite for sometime for availability of some of the essential medicines like Iron tablets. With no good pharmacy around , it has become practically impossible to give this basic medicine to many of our needy patients. We can turn down patients a few times but not always..and it is sometimes embarrasing for the doctors and staff to tell the patients that such and such is not available.

I wonder if the Ministry or the DVED has no solution at all?

We are equally affected by non availability of some antibiotics like cloxacillin and even chloramphenicol.

EMoC Training

A Five day workshop covering the Basic Obstretic Standards and Emergency Obstretic Care along with some essential neonatal protocols, concluded today at Gyelposhing BHU.

Similar workshop for the second batch of staff will commence from the 14th of this month. The revised standards were published in 2009.

The picture shows how our friends from the BHUs managed their accomodation during the training...hmm.. something I too would love to experience! Looks tempting!

LAN finally!

Finally the so called LAN lines have been pulled to our chambers and duty stations. At the moment, they are busy fixing the lines and it will be a few days before we can have net connection at our chambers.

Internet connection at work is necessary:

• quick literature searches
• quick tele-consultaions
• updating oneself during free time
• social networking ofcourse!

Nice Lecture on Sepsis

Visiting HVO Volunteer and ER Specialist, Dr Jared Hubell, gave an hour long lecture on this common topic yesterday at the conference hall. It was a well covered and relevant lecure focussing the important aspects of diagnois and treatment. Dr Jared highlighted on the missing links that he observed during his short service at the ER in JDWNRH.

The 6 hour and the 24 hour bundle sepsis therapy he talked about was impressive. Question answer sessions followed the lecture. About 50 participants registered for the lecture.

Refreshments were served as well. Meanwhile, his better half Katherine, who accompanied him, handed over a large bag of childrens' clothes to be given to the poor and the needy.

Thank you two and have a pleasant stay in Bhutan!
