Provision of Healthcare

While we were in the hospital, we had a chance to go on round and to treat patients with the local doctors. During our time rounding the hospital, we checked on patients' progress and we comforted them and their family. For several days, we worked in the outpatient clinics where we diagnosed and treated patients with the doctors at the hospital. Through our services, we had the opportunity to see the diseases that we learned in the class room. We saw many infectious diseases such as malaria, pharyngitis, and stomach infection. We also encountered chronic diseases like heart valves problems, hypertension, and diabetes, and many motorcycle accidents. Chronic diseases are expensive to treat; thus, patients with low economic status were unable to seek adequate treatments.
