[a #video about #Cuba from the #news collective #BellyOfTheBeast]

In recent days, #Cuban civil society organizations have denounced the devastating impact of the #US government’s economic war on the Cuban people.
Dr. Dayana Couto Núñez, president of the Cuban Society of #Gynecology and #Obstetrics, says shortages of medicines, medical supplies, technology and fuel are affecting surgeries, ultrasounds, diagnostic tests and maternal care.
According to Couto, the situation is making it harder to detect congenital malformations early and to care for premature and low-birth-weight babies, who often require specialized medication and high-tech equipment.
“Neither our women nor our children are to blame,” she said. “They need #medical care, #medicines and quality resources.”

Being The ANSC (Antenatal Specialist Clinic) House Officer – Housemanship Diaries

Related Posts:

In my previous article, I have talked about my experience as an EPAU (Early Pregnancy Assessment Unit) House Officer.

The ANSC (Antenatal Specialist Clinic) is a separate clinic of its own. Usually patients with other underlying issues comes in for follow up here and most of the time, it is combined with the Medical team. The operating hours are on weekdays from 9am till 12pm and 2pm till 5pm.

The joblists for ANSC is similar to that of EPAU. The patients over here will come in for scan and the medical officers are in charge of screening and scanning the patients. After which, the patients will go to their allocated specialists.

The job of the House Officer?

Our job is merely to record down scan findings or to call the patients or to take their blood or fill up blood requests forms if needed. There are instances whereby we need to request certain radiological tests or to get an outpatient appointment.

But that’s about it actually. The good thing about EPAU and ANSC is that we do get lunch breaks. Thus, it is something I always looked forward to.

Usually in the afternoon, it is a different clinic. Most of the time I would stay behind. Mainly because once we are done with the clinics, we are expected to return to Labour Ward and help out since our working hours are till 7pm. Thus, I try my best to delay my return to the labour ward for as long as possible.

My experience as a House Officer in both the EPAU and ANSC were both enjoyable and fun.

Being the EPAU (Early Pregnancy Assessment Unit) House Officer – Housemanship Diaries

Related Posts:

EPAU of the Early Pregnancy Assessment Unit is like working in a clinic. Before I begin, allow me to express how much I absolutely love it when I am allocated as the “EPAU House Officer” for the day.

The hospital that I am practicing in is Hospital Umum Sarawak otherwise known as Sarawak General Hospital.

The working hours as an EPAU HO is from 8am till 5pm, with a lunch break from 12pm till 2pm. This is then followed by the continuation of work from 2pm till about 5pm.

Most of the cases seen here are patients who go for follow up most likely due to foetal growth restriction (FGR) or cases referred from Klinik Kesihatan. There are some cases whereby the gestation is yet to be seen in utero likely because it is too early but the pregnancy test appears positive, hence they are on follow up for scan of gestational viability after a week or two. In terms of gynae cases, most of the patients that come in are impending miscarriages or patients who have miscarriage but are on follow up to check on their B-hCG.

As an EPAU house officer, our duty is to first screen through the cases that comes in. As I mentioned before, some cases are referred while some are on follow-up.

Thus, we will screen through by writing their age followed by their gestation and parity and finally, any relevant antenatal history.

After we are done screening, we help out with writing the scan findings, calling the patients or helping to take bloods.

There’s not much that needs to be done actually but on certain days whereby the patient load is tremendous, it can get extremely busy.

However, being an EPAU house officer is a good experience and a good change of scene especially if you’ve been allocated to the ward always.
