The Ministry of Health and Sports recently earmarked to spend K300 billion on purchasing pharmaceuticals to be distributed to people’s hospitals across the nation.
In fact, medicines play a key role in operating small and large hospitals. So, we all welcome the decision of such a ministry to emphasize operations of the hospitals and healthcare services for the people.
Nonetheless, people still receive medical treatment at private hospitals and clinics by spending their incomes because the majority of government-run hospitals cannot provide healthcare services as usual. The fund allotted by the ministry is not useful for the majority of hospitals that can do nothing for healthcare services.
Currently, government’s hospitals face shortages of human resources as well as medicines and medical equipment in operations. Amidst the challenges, the Department of Medical Services under the Ministry of Health and Sports appointed 49 fresher medical doctors early this year.
They are discharging duties at Yangon General Hospital, New Yangon General Hospital, Thingangyun Sanpya General Hospital, 500-bed Specialty Hospital, western and eastern general hospitals of Yangon, Central Women’s Hospital (Mandalay), 300-bed Teaching Hospital (Mandalay), Nay Pyi Taw General Hospital (1000-bed), North Okkalapa, Insein, Thanlyin, PyinOoLwin, Bago, Pakokku, Mawlamyine and Kawthoung general hospitals.
In fact, those fresher doctors are new strengths of the department, reliable for the hospitals as well as the patients. But, we need to give them adequate time to have precious work experiences to become qualified physicians. They have to change the loss to the win. They have to take the lessons from the mistakes and errors. They have to enhance their capacity through hard work in the profession. They have to possess the skills to look at the glittering future.
Medical doctors have to accumulate initiative, rationality, work experience, sympathy, modern medical technologies and other exposures based on daily assignments to manage themselves in healthcare services for the people. They have to study further while giving treatment to patients.
So, we all the people wait for the day when hospitals would run at the full capacity, and fresher medical doctors become the qualified, well-versed and reliable physicians.
