Description:
Most of you have already been
to the hospital, for a simple consultation
because you were sick
and needed to see a doctor, or
for hospitalization if you needed
more care.
The hospital might look familiar
to you: you know you will get helped by nurses, medics and doctors, and that you
will receive medicine. But this is only the visible part. We would like to take you backstage,
and show you what people usually do not see.
We will show you the pharmacy, and explain the history of tablets. We will present
you the different people that make the hospital work, the medics and nurses of
course, but also the director, the midwives, the lab technicians, the cooks, the logisticians?
You will discover in this magazine the Umpiem Hospital, in all its detail.
However, most of it will be the same as in the hospitals of other camps, or in the
migrant clinics such as the one of Dr. Cynthia.
This overview of the hospital-world will help you understand which services you can
access: the dental or the eye
care, the mental health, the HIV
counseling. You will learn more
about blood analysis, X-Rays
and operating rooms.
Let's go for a day in the hospital,
and enjoy the discovery.
