Die flink dink van twee Stellenbosse dokters en die vra vir hulp is met ‘n besonderse skenking beantwoord en nou is die Stellenbosch Provinsiale Hospitaal twee splinternuwe sonarmasjiene ryker.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dr. Tabitha Mathose en Dr. Lawson Eksteen is die hospitaal se twee gesinsdokters. Met haar aankoms by die hospitaal het Mathose besef die hospitaal se enigste sonarmasjien was verouderd en sy het besluit om ‘n plan te beraam om beter toerusting aan te skaf.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“My belangstelling is moedergesondheid en prim\u00eare sorg. Ek het gespesialiseer by die Helderberg-staatshospitaal. Hier het die plaaslike Rotari\u00ebrs sonarmasjiene aan die hospitaal geskenk wat ‘n groot verskil in dienslewering gemaak het,” verduidelik sy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Saam met Eksteen, wat familie het wat ook Rotari\u00ebrs is, het hulle besluit om na die Stellenbosse Rotari\u00ebrs uit te reik. Die plaaslike Rotari\u00ebrs skenk gereeld toerusting aan die hospitaal, maar hier- die versoek was ‘n veel groter een. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nietemin het die Rotari\u00ebrklub, onder leiding van sy president, Stuart Hunter, ingespring en ‘n geldinsameling gehou vir ‘n nuwe masjien. Hunter het ook uitgereik na hul bure in die Helderberg, die Rotari\u00ebrklub van Helderberg Sunrise, die Rotari\u00ebrstigting van Rotary Internasionaal, die Rotari\u00ebrklubs Hameln, en Nienburg-Neustadt, het almal gehelp.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

‘n Paar maande later is twee sonarmasjiene en drie draagbare sonarmasjiene van GE Medical aan die hospitaal oorhandig.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Net 45 minute nadat ons die masjiene oorgegee het, was dit reeds in gebruik,” het Hunter Dinsdag (15 April) by die amptelike oorhandiging vertel. Hy het bygevoeg die klub is verheug om die hospitaal se vermo\u00ebns van dienslewering te verbeter en by te dra tot die welstand van die gemeenskap.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hierdie projek is ‘n bewys van die krag van vennootskap en die impak wat gemaak kan word wanneer organisasies bymekaarkom om ‘n gemeenskaplike doelwit te ondersteun, meen hy.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Die masjiene is ‘n belegging van meer as R1 miljoen en kan gebruik word om almal te help, van verwagtende mammas tot slagoffers wat gesteek of geskiet is om enige inwendige bloeding op te spoor.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dit is egter nie net hospitaal-pasi\u00ebnte wat baat vind by die skenking nie, maar ook die res van die byna 200 000 plaaslikes wat van die streek se agt klinieke gebruik maak.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Die hospitaal se ou sonarmasjien is nou na die Franschhoek-kliniek en met die masjien hier beteken dit pasi\u00ebnte hoef nie meer van hul tuisdorp na Stellenbosch te reis vir enige skandeerings nie.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Eksteen s\u00ea die draagbare sonarmasjiene beteken ook pasi\u00ebnte van die omliggende dorpe kry verbeterde, onmiddellike diens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Die meeste mense van ons diensgebied woon ver van die hospitaal soos op plase en aan die buite wyke soos Franschhoek en Klapmuts. Die behoeftes van die streek is groot en dit is hartseer omdat daar nie altyd genoegsame hulpbronne is om hulle te help nie, wat natuurlik ‘n negatiewe impak op hul welstand het,” s\u00ea Eksteen. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Met die nuwe masjiene kan hy en sy kollegas alles van bloedklonte tot ‘n moontlike geval van tuberkulose opspoor tydens ‘n ondersoek. \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

” ‘n Sonarskandering kan basies gebruik word om byna enigiets te diagnoseer. Selfs TB waar ons kan sien of ‘n pasient vloeistof in sy longe het, wat beteken ons kan so gou moontlik met behandeling begin. Indien ons dalk sukkel om jou are op te spoor kan ons die masjien gebruik, of ons kan sien of jy dalk ‘n bloedklont in jou been het. In plaas daarvan om dae lank te wag vir ‘n skandering of X-strale, ook omdat die diens nie net daagliks beskikbaar is nie, kan ons soveel gouer optree,” s\u00ea Mathose.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Volgens die Wes-Kaapse minister van Gesondheid en Welstand, Mireille Wenger, spreek die Rotari\u00ebrs se donasie van wat moontlik is wanneer die openbare sektor hande vat met die gemeenskap. “Die Rotari\u00ebrs het ‘n trotse geskiedenis wat meer as ‘n eeu terug dateer, en ‘n nalatenskap van betekenisvolle humanit\u00eare werk. Ek dink baie van ons het ‘n diep persoonlike verbintenis met die waardes van die Rotari\u00ebrs, wat diens, gemeenskap, diversiteit, waardigheid, en leierskap insluit. So vandag sien ons hoe daardie waardes uitgeleef word deur die vrygewigheid van die skenkers en die gesondheidshelde wat vir hul pasi\u00ebnte gepleit het,” s\u00ea Wenger.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sy het Mathose en Eksteen vir hul vernuf geprys, terwyl die twee dokters op hul beurt die Rotari\u00ebrs bedank het.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
