HOSPITAL NEWS
Last week was a quiet one at AIHT with the administrative staff and program coordinators hard at work finalizing logistics for the Siaya scientific conference. Currently the division has 11 abstracts in the program. Ten of these will be presented at length through the symposium discussion and scientific sessions on Thursday of this week. This conference brings together over six different partner organizations, including KMET, Medtronic, Maseno University, MGH Division of Global Health and Human Rights, Sagam Community Hospital, and M-TIBA.
EDUCATION
Teaching Rounds: Dr. Taha is on planned leave until the end of September. Teaching rounds will continue upon his return.
Residency and Internship Program Update
We continue to receive a high request of inquiries from medical officer interns applying to our internship programme and will update the team once the Kenya Medical Practitioners and Dentists Board (KMPDB) and the Ministry of Health (MOH) confirm placement of additional interns. A recent medical school graduate from Uganda, Leju Modi, has joined SCH and we expect addition interns and pre-interns to arrive in the coming weeks.
Hospital Education
The nursing CME was lead by Titus Kwede who presented the first half of a two part series on maternal and perinatal death. The hospital-wide CME this week was lead by Abella and Lynette from KMET who discussed spillage cleanup and preventing infections in the hospital setting. Clinical CMEs have been modified to be interactive sessions on specific diseases. Each day of the week our clinicians have been going through an image/clinical finding of the day lead by Dr. Taha, and in the next few weeks our clinicians will attend ATLS sessions to increase comfort with trauma management.
