K’ba district hospital institutes post-paid
services
By DarelNgwa in Kumba
The director of the Kumba district
hospital, DrZacksEbongo who doubles as head of the ophthalmology unit has
called on Doctors and nurses of the hospital to practice what he calls
post-paid services in order to avoid the Monique Koumate-like incident which
occurred at the Douala Laquintinie hospital recently.
He
was speaking on Wednesday 16 March 2016 at the conference hall of the hospital
while receiving New Year wishes from staff of the hospital. He said no one
should be deprived of their right to life because they cannot pay hospital
bills immediately. He urged doctors of the hospital to be ready to go to the
theatre whenever need be and even when the patients do not have the money to
immediately pay for their services. “The hospital administration will know how
to collect its debts after the person must have been treated,” Dr. Ebongo said,
calling on his colleagues not to relent in their efforts in providing the best
medical care to patients who avail themselves at the hospital.
He
used the occasion to announce the presence at the hospital of a
neuropsychiatrist to take care of mental cases.
Speaking
earlier, the medical adviser of the hospital Dr. Etienne Asongayi explained
that the event was organized by the staff of the hospital in recognition of the
efforts of the director in making the hospital one of the best medical outfits
in the country.
Some
of the achievements of the Director include creating a master plan, installing
an electronic sign board, improving security, instituting visiting hours,
improving hygiene and sanitation, providing water, creating modern parking
lots, instituting an electronic receipt system for the pharmacy, creating an
isolation unit, purchasing two stand by generators, constructing a modern
emergency unit, ensuring punctuality of staff, rehabilitating the laboratory
and the wards, instituting the use of badges by staff among others.
