Some 15 meritorious workers of the Kumba
district hospital have been acknowledged and rewarded with medals and cash
prizes by the hospital administration. This was during an occasion dubbed “KDH
Best Workers 2015” that took place recently at the hospital premises under the
patronage of the senior divisional officer for Meme David Aman Koulbout and the
district medical officer for Kumba health district Dr. Mbamuluh Achu Phillip.
Opening
the ceremony that brought together both the medical and support staff of the
hospital, the director of the medical outfit, Dr. Zachs Ebongo Nanje,
reiterated on the importance of such events which he said is a system put in
place by the ministry of public health to boost the moral of hard working
hospital staff.
Apart
from counting the numerous achievements recorded during his stewardship at the
helm of the hospital such as maintenance of hygiene and sanitation, fight
against corruption, construction of emergency centre, good security system and
many others. Dr Ebongo also used the ceremony to urge the government to upgrade
the hospital to a regional hospital arguing that the population they serve and
their production capacity is equal to that of a regional hospital. He also
pleaded with the authorities to rehabilitate the intensive care unit, the
infrastructure and equipment and deploy more personnel to accommodate the
population.
The
SDO for Meme Koulbout David who chaired the occasion hailed the hospital
director and the entire staff for what he described as a wonderful initiative.
Congratulating the meritorious workers who received awards, the SDO at once
challenged other staffs to be committed and hard working so as to be honoured
in subsequent occasions.
Exhorting
the medical personnel to respect the ethics and deontology, the SDO reminded
them of the Hypocratic oath which compels them to treat patients with equity
and to save lives first before demanding for money. He urged the hospital
authorities to ensure availability of drugs in the hospital pharmacy and make
constant visits to patients.
To
the beneficiaries, the SDO urged them to remain committed and dedicated to
their job so as to help safeguard the lives of the population.
