Die Witzenberg is die enigste gebied in die Kaapse Wynland waar \u2019n dokter aangestel is om op mobiele dienste te fokus. <\/p>\n
Dr. Nadia le Roux gee kliniese leiding aan personeel wat met die departement van gesondheid se bussies uitgaan. Sy beweeg op rotasie saam met die personeel op die verskillende bussies se roetes en besoek ook klinieke wat op plase gevestig is. <\/p>\n
In gebiede soos die Witzenberg, waar mense dikwels baie ver van groter gemeenskappe en dienste woon, is vervoer nie altyd beskikbaar nie, \u00f3f die kostes is eenvoudig so hoog dat mense uiteindelik kies om siek of in pyn te bly eerder as om hulp te kry. Die pasi\u00ebnt se toestand verhoed hulle ook soms om ver na \u2019n kliniek te reis. <\/p>\n
\u201cDie groot verskil is mense voel veiliger wanneer jy hulle in hul eie ruimte sien. Hulle voel gemakliker. Hulle deel makliker inligting, en daarom is dit makliker om hulle die beste ondersteuning te kan gee,\u201d verduidelik Le Roux. <\/p>\n
Gesondheidswerkers op mobiele bussies maak langer, gesonder lewens moontlik vir die duisende Witzenbergers wat hulle bedien, en, bykans \u2018n jaar sedert \u2019n dokter aangestel is om die diens te versterk, glimlag pasi\u00ebnte breed.<\/p>\n
Prens Muller (62) werk by Mount Cedar. Hy is een van sowat 6 000 mense in die Witzenberg met kroniese toestande wat op mobiele klinieke staatmaak. Muller vertrek voor sonop van sy huis by Op die Berg en keer die aand eers terug. <\/p>\n
As deel van die bestuur van sy kroniese toestand, benodig hy gereelde waarnemings deur gesondheidswerkers, asook medikasie. Die pad tussen Op die Berg en Mount Cedar noodsaak dat \u2019n mens stadiger en versigtiger moet ry, wat \u2019n besoek aan die kliniek op \u2019n werksdag bykans onmoontlik maak. \u201cDit beteken regtig baie vir my dat julle uitkom,\u201d s\u00ea hy waar sr. Nontombi Ciko en dr. Le Roux by Mount Cedar na hom omsien. <\/p>\n
\u201cEk het nooit geglo ek is iemand wat kliniek toe moet loop nie, maar toe ek 60 word, s\u00ea iemand vir my dis tyd dat ek gaan,\u201d vertel hy. Dokters het toe vasgestel hy benodig kroniese medisyne. Die koms van die mobiele kliniek na waar hy werk, gee hom die vrymoedigheid om op die dag ook te vra oor die onderkant van sy voete wat brand. \u201cEk kan vrae vra oor dinge waaroor ek bekommerd is en so voorkom dat ek \u2019n siekte opdoen.\u201d<\/p>\n
Mobiele klinieke is \u2019n verlengstuk van dienste wat by die Wes-Kaapse departement van gesondheid se klinieke beskikbaar is. Die dienste is lank reeds goed gevestig in die Witzenberg, maar die Witzenberg is die enigste gebied in die Kaapse Wynland waar \u2019n dokter aangestel is om op mobiele dienste te fokus.<\/p>\n
\u201cD\u00edt is vir my baie bevredigend. Hier by Mount Cedar het net enkele mense vandag ons ondersteuning nodig gehad. Op ander plase het ons tot 91 pasi\u00ebnte met kroniese toestande gehelp. Vir hulle maak hierdie diens die w\u00eareld se verskil,\u201d s\u00ea Le Roux.<\/p>\n
Sr. Ciko s\u00ea die feit dat hulle \u2019n dokter het wat op ondersteuning aan mobiele dienste gefokus is, beteken sy kan vinniger hulp kry as sy \u2019n vraag oor die behandeling van \u2018n pasi\u00ebnt het. Voorskrifte word ook vinniger hernu, en die dokter leer die pasi\u00ebnte ken \u2013 alles tot voordeel van die pasi\u00ebnt. <\/p>\n
Ciko se roete strek oor 1 800 km en sluit ongeveer 24 plase in. Mobiele klinieke word op nog vyf roetes in die Witzenberg ingespan. In plekke wat minder afgele\u00eb is en waar \u2019n groter behoefte aan voorkomende dienste soos immunisering bestaan, re\u00ebl gesondheidswerkers met behulp van werkgewers dat die bussie by een plaas stop en mense van ander plase daarheen kom. <\/p>\n
Gesondheidswerkers l\u00ea sowat 9 000 km per maand af om mobiele dienste na mense te bring. Tussen April en Junie het meer as 10 000 Witzenbergers van die mobiele klinieke se dienste gebruik gemaak.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
