Die beskikbaarheid van \u2019n spesialisdiens by Ceres- en Robertson-hospitale maak \u2019n groot verskil aan die lewe van kinders met gesondheidsuitdagings wat hul ore, neus en keel raak. Hulle kan nou vinniger terugkeer na deelname aan aktiwiteite by die huis, dagsorg, speelskool en die klaskamer as gevolg van die dienste van \u2019n deeltydse oor-, neus- en keel (ONK)-spesialis.<\/p>\n
Pasi\u00ebnte van hierdie gebiede word sedert Maart vanjaar verwys na \u2019n ONK-spesialis wat deeltydse dienste by die hospitale verskaf. \u2019n Spesialisdiens soos hierdie word gewoonlik nie op die vlak van distrikshospitale soos di\u00e9 in Ceres en Robertson gelewer nie, maar personeel van die Wes-Kaapse regering se departement van gesondheid en welstand het die behoefte raakgesien en die geleentheid aangegryp om die deeltydse aanstelling te maak. Dit beteken dat jong pasi\u00ebnte dienste vinniger en nader aan waar hulle woon kan ontvang.<\/p>\n
Met Kinder- en Jeugmaand wat onlangs afgehandel is, is die departement trots om te s\u00ea dat tot dusver 15 kinders by die diens by die Ceres-hospitaal baat gevind het, en 13 by die Robertson-hospitaal.<\/p>\n
Volwassenes word ook na die ONK-spesialis verwys soos nodig, maar die diens het veral \u2019n positiewe impak op die welstand van die kinders wat bygestaan word. Die eerste 1 000 dae van \u2019n kind se lewe (die tyd tussen bevrugting en die kind se tweede verjaardag) is \u2019n deurslaggewende tyd van ontwikkeling vir kinders. As \u2019n gesondheidsorg-toestand soos chroniese opbou van vloeistof in die binneoor nie gou behandel word nie, kan dit die kind langer neem om nuwe woorde aan te leer, instruksies te volg en in die klaskamer deel te neem. Op die lang termyn kan dit \u2019n baie negatiewe impak op die kind h\u00ea.<\/p>\n
Een van die pasi\u00ebnte wat in die Ceres-hospitaal behandel is, is die vierjarige Denash Titus. Sy ma, Macheline Cloete, s\u00ea aanvanklik het Denash dikwels mangelontsteking gehad. Sy het ook opgemerk dat sy spraak nie so ontwikkel was soos ander kinders van sy ouderdom nie. Sy het hom na die Bella Vista-kliniek geneem en n\u00e1 ondersoeke is hy \u2019n afspraak gegee om Tygerberg-hospitaal toe te gaan.<\/p>\n
Sy was baie bly toe sy gebel is met die nuus dat haar seun behandeling in Ceres kan ontvang.<\/p>\n
\u201cDit was \u2019n baie aangename ervaring. Sy prosedures is in een operasie gedoen, en hy het \u2019n opvolgdatum met dr. Post, die ONK-spesialis, in September,\u201d s\u00ea Macheline. <\/p>\n
Denash het onlangs pampoentjies gehad, maar verder is hy in goeie gesondheid sedert die prosedure.<\/p>\n
Dr. Karlien Doubell, waarnemende hoofbestuurder van die Ceres-hospitaal, s\u00ea dat, benewens sy uitdaging van mangelontsteking, gesondheidsorgwerkers ook vertragings in Denash se spraakontwikkeling opgemerk het.<\/p>\n
Met verdere ondersoeke het hulle vasgestel dat hy vloeistof in die binneoor gehad het, wat sy vermo\u00eb om te hoor be\u00efnvloed het. Hy is verwys na \u2019n hospitaal wat die ONK-spesialisdiens aangebied het, maar dit sou \u2019n wagtyd van minstens \u2019n jaar beteken het. Die aanstelling van die deeltydse ONK-spesialis by die Ceres-hospitaal het egter beteken dat Denash in \u2019n japtrap in sy tuisdorp gehelp kon word. In April is sy mangels en adeno\u00efede verwyder, en ventilasiebuise is ingesit.<\/p>\n
\u201cVier jaar oud is \u2019n piektyd vir spraakontwikkeling. Daarvoor het jy jou gehoor nodig. In sy geval kon ons ten minste \u2019n jaar vroe\u00ebr ingryp as sou ons nie die diens hier aangebied het nie,\u201d s\u00ea dr. Doubell.<\/p>\n
Die departement bedank gesondheidsorgwerkers wat voortdurend na geleenthede soek om dienslewering aan te pas sodat die welstand van pasi\u00ebnte altyd topprioriteit is, veral jonger pasi\u00ebnte.<\/p>\n
Hulle moedig ook ouers, soos Macheline, aan om vinnig uit te reik vir hulp as hul jong kind siek is.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
