We have been made to feel welcome as we have The third surprise by her study has been the low numbers of searched through registers, folders and data bases to ensure oesophageal cancer cases reported in the data. Given the that we capture any cancer related visits that have been made historical studies of cancers based in this hospital as well as by our study population and we extract the clinical details to the contemporary data from the ECCR, we were very surprised include in our register. as it has been a leading cancer. We have noted a decline in oesophageal cancer death rates from the national mortality When Nomfuneko Sithole was a public health student, we data but also think that it may be possible that patients with decided to give her the task of examining the routinely collected oesophageal cancer have been treated in other wards without Oncology and Radiation Department data at the hospital and radiotherapy, and are missing from this data source. When setting investigate what it could tell us about the trends in cancer up a hospital-based cancer registry, it would be particularly patients treated in the hospital. Her study has surprised us in important to incorporate information from the surgical ward so several ways. as to include cancer patients who are given surgical treatment only. Firstly, she found that the routine data are reasonably complete and she has clearly demonstrated that they can easily be used to This study begs the question what is the incidence of describe the profile of cancer cases treated in the hospital. From oesophageal cancer? Our team harbors an interest in this, we learn that with limited additional resource, it would be complementing the ECCR with a population-based cancer possible for Frere Hospital to establish a hospital-based cancer registry in Buffalo City Municipality to measure the incidence registry. We believe that an ongoing registry would assist the and monitor changing cancer patterns in an urban setting and hospital with resource planning and future caseload prediction. thereby contribute towards cancer control initiatives. We hope It could also serve as a tool for research. that this report will ignite an interest in establishing a hospital- based cancer registry – they are one of the major sources of Secondly, her analysis has highlighted the changing patient information for population-based cancer registries. profile treated by the hospital since 1991, with an apparent shift to private sector care by a section of the population.

  • Medical and Dental Professions Board
    HEALTH PROFESSIONS COUNCIL OF SOUTH AFRICA MEDICAL AND DENTAL PROFESSIONS BOARD HANDBOOK ON INTERNSHIP TRAINING GUIDELINES FOR INTERNS, ACCREDITED FACILITIES AND HEALTH AUTHORITIES PRETORIA 2021 EDITION PREFACE On behalf the Medical and Dental Professions Board (MDB), I have the pleasure of making this Handbook available to all Interns, Intern Curators, and Accredited Facilities for Internship Training and Health Authorities who are involved with internship training and who employ interns. The Board has come to appreciate the need in practice to obtain clear guidelines for internship training. Thus, based on experiences of Board members, Evaluators of Internship Training and inputs of those who went through Internship Training, this Handbook for Internship Training has been revised and we trust that it will be relevant as a guideline that will serve the needs of Interns and those responsible for their training. The Medical and Dental Professions Board looks forward to ongoing improvement in the nature and quality of internship training as part of its role and mission of “Protecting the Public and Guiding the Professions”. Part of this improvement is through the feedback and inputs from all our interns during their internship training. As of January 2020, Internship training model has been modified to incorporate six months of training in the primary health platform in the second year. The training will be for 24 months with specific domains to be completed in the first year before proceeding to the domains of second year. This has resulted in the expansion of existing training platform incorporating the district health system. This we consider as transformational in the area of training and service delivery The Board expresses its gratitude to all who have contributed to this document, and this include the members of Medical Education and training committee, Panel of Evaluators of Internship Training, Secretariat and all those who have worked tirelessly in the revision of this Handbook.

  • SDC 1. Supplementary Notes to Methods Settings Groote Schuur
    Mouton JP, Njuguna C, Kramer N, Stewart A, Mehta U, Blockman M, et al. Adverse drug reactions causing admission to medical wards: a cross-sectional survey at four hospitals in South Africa. Supplemental Digital Content SDC 1. Supplementary notes to Methods Settings Groote Schuur Hospital is a 975-bed urban academic hospital situated in Cape Town, in the Western Cape province, which provides secondary and tertiary level care, serves as a referral centre for approximately half of the province’s population (2011 population: 5.8 million)1 and is associated with the University of Cape Town. At this hospital we surveyed the general medical wards during May and June 2013. We did not survey the sub-speciality wards (dermatology, neurology, cardiology, respiratory medicine and nephrology), the oncology wards, or the high care / intensive care units. Restricting the survey to general medical wards was done partly due to resource limitations but also to allow the patients at this site to be reasonably comparable to those at other sites, which did not have sub-specialist wards. In 2009, the crude inpatient mortality in the medical wards of Groote Schuur Hospital was shown to be 573/3465 patients (17%)2 and the 12-month post-discharge mortality to be 145/415 (35%).3 Edendale Hospital is a 900-bed peri-urban regional teaching hospital situated near Pietermaritzburg, in the KwaZulu-Natal province (2011 population: 10.3 million).1 It provides care to the peri-urban community and serves as a referral centre for several district hospitals in the surrounding rural area. It is located at the epicentre of the HIV, tuberculosis and multidrug resistant tuberculosis epidemics in South Africa: a post-mortem study in 2008-2009 found that 94% of decedents in the medical wards of Edendale Hospital were HIV-seropositive, 50% had culture-positive tuberculosis at the time of death and 17% of these cultures were resistant to isoniazid and rifampicin.4 At Edendale Hospital, we surveyed the medical wards over 30 days during July and August of 2013.

  • Ptc Eastern Cape Course Report
    PTC EASTERN CAPE COURSE REPORT By Dr. R. JAYAKRISHNAN CHIEF MEDICAL OFFICER DEPARTMENT OF SURGERY NELSON MANDELA ACADEMIC HOSPITAL MTHATHA, EASTERN CAPE PROVINCE INTRODUCTION Following a very successful foundation course held early in 2007, PTC Eastern Cape conducted the first course in South Africa. The course was run with ample support from the provincial department of health of Eastern Cape and Walter Sisulu University. The Departments of Surgery, Anaesthesia and Family Medicine of Nelson Mandela Academic Hospital participated by contributing their staff that was trained on the earlier occasion as trainers. BACKGROUND Trauma is one of the commonest pathologies encountered in South Africa and the Province of eastern cape is no exception. All medical personals are expected to have a sound understanding of managing trauma patients. It was noticed that the standard of care offered to trauma patients was not up to standards expected resulting in significant mortality and morbidity, which is to a large extent avoidable. Prof Adekunle from the Department of Surgery discussed with Dr KLN Mafanya, the Head of the Clinical Governance of Nelson Mandela Academic Hospital Complex about offering PTC course to professionals in the peripheral hospitals thereby empowering them with the knowledge to manage trauma patients. The department fully supported the idea and it was decided to conduct the first PTC course on the 5 th and 6 th of November to be followed by further courses in the future PTC COURSE The venue of the course was Walter Sisulu University in Mthatha. Prof. E L Mazwai, the Dean for the Faculty of Health Sciences opened the programme.
