If you have been following the RDI before Christmas last year you would have found the story of a woman who had 7 pregnancies and only succeeded in birthing 1 alive. The last pregnancy came with complications and we almost lost the baby. It took another tedious 3 weeks to revive and manage the baby to life.
Today she is 5weeks old and they came for their routine clinic check.
Acylostoma brazliense ( Creeping eruptions larvae). Have you seen one before?
The mother came in with this very irritable child who was apprehensive of the white coats. He initially preferred to wait outside the consulting room while the mom handle "his" business with us. A New Strain of Drug-Resistant Malaria Has Sprung Up in Africa.
"Finally, we need to acknowledge that the sun may be setting on today's drugs. It may be a long sunset, but we need to be ready for tomorrow" My neurosurgery teacher will always tell me that no matter how cocksure you are about the diagnosis of a mass on the head, you must conduct a skull x-ray! Thank you Sir Benitie.
Mrs A, 36, has had a tiny swelling the size of a millet while she was barely a child, she couldn't even remember at what age she first noticed it. But over the years, she kept on tugging on it until it increased to the size of a small tomato veg. She didn't bother as long as she could cover her head with a scarf as it became more embarrassing and she lost self confidence. We are proud to be celebrating the rural doctor INITIATIVE, RDI, an idea conceived 5 years ago and birthed only in 2020, as we majestically walk into 2021, today.
The RDI was inspired by a genuine desire to impact the lives of rural dwellers who have been seemingly forgotten and neglected, forcing them to fend for their health needs by themselves. Over the years, the RDI has studied the health statistics in rural areas before, during and after its impact. These have drastically shown an impressive healthy improvement in the numbers. |
