"Health Messenger" Junior No. 8 - A day in the hospital

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.
