Previously, these healthcare facilities did not have ultrasound machines.
These three hospitals serve patients from their respective districts, including rural areas. For them, a journey to a major medical centre means a loss of time and money, and often a delay in receiving the necessary consultation.
Doctors can now carry out a wide range of examinations on site, from abdominal ultrasound scans and obstetric and gynaecological examinations to thyroid and blood vessel scans, as well as paediatric examinations. For patients, this means a quicker assessment of their health and access to medical services closer to home.
Ultrasound is a safe, painless and radiation-free examination, which is also used for pregnant women and children. The new equipment can help with the early detection of certain conditions and reduce the number of referrals to major centres for examinations that can be carried out at district level.
The new equipment also supports the work of medical teams in three hospitals, providing them with access to modern diagnostic technologies and opportunities for professional development.
