We are back from Sungai Petani and frankly speaking are thrilled with the new week that we have ahead in Kubang Pasu. We arrived at the KKKP at 830 thinking that we will be visiting the water treatment center as promised. However due to a confusion of dates, we were stranded in the office not knowing what to do. But later, we were visited by a stern lady with more than 20 years of experience. Her name is Sister Yati aand she is in charge of the MCH program of the district. Her first question to us was “What do you understand with public health”. Embarrassingly, we found ourselves lost in thoughts as to what public health is really about. She gave us a 10 minute break to learn about public health and after the time limit; we manage to impress her with our answers. Sister Yati educated us A to Z on the maternal and child health system of the KP district.
After noon, we followed Sister Radzoah to Klinik Desa Kota Naga, a tiny Health care center surrounded by beautiful paddy fields. There, she enlightened us on how the clinic works, their activities done, their roles, their budget, their limitations etc. She also showed us the booking book, immunization chart, and a colour coding scheme for expecting mothers. We were later taken around a tour of the clinic, which was not very significant except for the fact we saw the cold chain for the vaccines.
tRYING TO GET THE DEFINITION OF PUBLIC HEALTH RITE...
Thats it for now, hope to hear from yall soon.
Good Night and Good Luck!
