INTRODUCTION

HISTORICAL BACKGROUND

The beginning of Rubya Hospital was initiated by the Roman Catholic Missionaries from Germany in the years 1920 to 1930. From then they prepared Mr. Leo Rufulebe to take over the medical services which was enhanced by Father Otto Mors in the early 1940 -1950. The services were provided at a Modest Dispensary attached to the parish church.

Until 1956 Rubya Hospital when was opened by Franciscan Sisters of Breda from Netherlands, the hospital gradually developed from a small pre-existing dispensary with 20 maternity beds. Over the years the complex was expanded until it reached its present shape.

STATUS OF THE HOSPITAL

After signing the contract between the Government of and Bukoba Catholic diocese authority, the hospital became the Designated District Hospital for Muleba district that was in 1977. Official bed capacity which was agreed in 1977 is 162; the government pays a major part of the running costs of the hospital. To date, the hospital has remained under the ownership of Bukoba Catholic Diocese. Since 1977 the government was covering all cost for treatment of patients thus patients were not paying anything for the services, but in February 1994 cost sharing was started as stipulated by the government. However, children under five years, pregnant mothers, poor old men above sixty years of age and those on ARV are treated free of charge. Since then, Rubya Hospital has a main building containing the theatre, an X-ray- room, CTC, mortuary, the pharmacy and administration offices. Besides there are six wards: male ward, female ward, children ward, maternity ward, and a nutrition unit. There is a separate outpatient department containing the laboratory and a separate unit for reproductive and child health.

7

In 1963 Rubya Nurses Training Centre was opened. It provided a three-year course in general nursing and in 1970 a one-year course in midwifery was added. The certificate course ended in 2007.In the year 2004 upgrading diploma course in nursing was started, the first bunch graduated on August 2006. In the year 2008 we have opened an integrated nursing school, the overall intake of pre service and in service nurse students per year is 50 and 35 nurses respectively.

GEOGRAPHY AND POPULATION Muleba district is situated in Region in northwest Tanzania. Kagera Region is bordered by Uganda to the north, and Burundi to the west and Lake Victoria to the east. The region is divided into 8 districts, Muleba being one of them.

Rubya is the Designated Hospital for Muleba district. Muleba District covers an area of approximately 2500 square kilometers with a total population of 386,320 inhabitants in 2002 census (457,600 projected populations for 2009). It has 5 main divisions Nshamba, Muleba, Kamachumu, Kimwani and Izigo. Nshamba division is a catchment area for Rubya hospital which is estimated to have approximately 1/3 of the district population. Besides Rubya Hospital there are two non-governmental (fee- paying) hospitals in Muleba District namely Ndolage Hospital in Kamachumu divisions, 25 kilometers from Rubya, and Kagondo Hospital in Izigo division, 45 kilometers from Rubya. Other health facilities in Muleba district includ 3 health centers: Kaigara Health centre in Muleba division, Kimeya health centre in Kimwani division and Kamachumu Health centre in Kamachumu division. Also there are a number of dispensaries run on governmental and private basis. In reality more people come to Rubya Hospital, probably the other two hospitals are more expensive comparatively; moreover its catchment area is highly populated. Most people by pass the peripheral dispensaries and health centers and come directly to Rubya hospital to receive health care without being referred. The cause of by passing is not yet known.

8 The climate of Muleba District is mild with 2 main rainy seasons, one from March to May and the other from September until December. The average rainfall varies between 800-1600mm per year. Soil erosion is due to woodcutting and overgrazing and is one of the serious problems in some areas.

Rubya lies in Nshamba division, on the west side of a high sandstone plateau on an altitude of 1500 meters above sea level overlooking the Ngono plains. The hospital is 85 kilometers from Bukoba town, which is the regional capital, and 20 kilometers from Muleba, where the district headquarters are located. Rubya hospital is 20 kilometers off the main road Bukoba-Biharamulo-Mwanza. Also there is good communication by public transport to and from Muleba, internet services to communicate within and outside the District through e-mail. Availability of reliable electricity had contributed much to the development. Despite the improvement of public transport, patients are coming on foot, bicycles and on home made stretchers due to geographical physical features.

Hospital drugs and other major requirements are bought from Medical Store Department (MSD) Mwanza around 400 kilometers by car and difficult to reach in the rainy seasons. However, availability of drugs at MSD is still a problem. Patients can be referred to Bukoba Regional Hospital, Bugando Medical Center in Mwanza , Kilimanjaro Christian Medical Centre (KCMC ) in Moshi and Muhimbili National Hospital in Dar es Salaam, this can be done by referring patients physically or by using telemedicine.

COMMUNITY AND HEALTH STATUS Muleba District is divided into 5 divisions with 31 wards (subdivisions). The majority of the people are Haya by tribe but there are also some immigrants from Rwanda and Burundi who live among citizens; however the District authority is making efforts to make sure that non-citizens are returned back to their homes. The language of daily life is Kihaya; Kiswahili the national language is mostly spoken in trading centers and towns but rarely used in villages. The main religions of the area are Christianity (predominantly Roman Catholic), Protestants and the Muslims.

9 AGRICULTURE Majority of people are peasants cultivating their own plots. Staple food consists of bananas that are available almost throughout the year. However, the banana trees are infested with weevils resulting in decreasing yields. Other products grown are maize, beans, groundnuts, cassava and sweet potatoes. Some have small vegetable gardens for home use. Few gardens produce enough vegetables to sell at the local markets. Coffee is the only cash crop grown. It is sold at co-operative unions and being processed in the coffee factory in Bukoba. Many families own either chickens, goats, cows or both.

HEALTH STATUS Vulnerable groups among the population include pregnant mothers, underfive children and orphans. The under five-mortality rate is fluctuating. The childbearing group suffers from conditions related to pregnancy and pregnancy outcome. For the year 2012, the hospital health status is shown below by a list of the top ten diseases for OPD as well IPD.

NOTE: From the above tables, it shows that Malaria and STI were the problems for 2011 but we see a tremendous decrease of these conditions for the year 2012 the explanations for this could be;  On going intervention of health education in the community especially on the utilization of bed nets.  Early and effective treatment of STI infections.

16 FINANCES

Our income and expenditure starts from January to December every year. Rubya Hospital being Designated District Hospital for Muleba it gets funds mainly from Ministry of Health and social warfare (MHSWF), this includes basket fund, salary grant, MSD funds and other charges, call allowances, others include cost sharing and NHIF for the running costs of the hospital.

Government grants are still based on a total of 162 bed capacity signed in 1977; actually since 2002 the bed occupancy rate has been above 100% posing a big challenge to the hospital in running the hospital costs.

OUT-PATIENT DEPARTMENT (OPD)

UTILIZATION

The total number of Outpatient attendances in 2012 including other special clinics is 53,045 Compared to 54,429 for 2011 cases. It shows that the number of OPD attendances is almost the same as we continue saving all clients from the entire district.

All normal cases are seen by clinical officers with exception of pregnant mothers and difficult cases which are seen by Doctors at OPD. The general outpatient department operates from 8 a.m to 7p.m seven days per week. Every week there are special clinics for Diabetes mellitus, Tuberculosis and leprosy, mental health, Dental clinic. VCT/CTC and Eye clinics and they operate as special clinics from Monday to Friday.

MALE WARD STAFF ESTABLISHMENT.

For the year 2012 the numbers of staff in Male ward was, Nurse Midwifes 4, Trained Nurses 2 and medical attendants 10, plus one Doctor for the ward round daily. In general this department continued to be understaffed hence overload to available staff.

PAEDIATRICS WARD.

It is among the busy ward contributed by Intravenous medications and special attention of those under fives getting blood transfusion.

MATERNITY AND DELIVERIES

Maternity ward mainly deals with both Obstetric cases as well as Gynecological cases, Sick babies who are below four weeks of age are also admitted in Maternity ward, premature babies as well. For year 2012 we had 13 Assistant nursing officers, 3 Nurse II, 9 Nurse Assistants, 5 Medical attendants and One Doctor of the ward.

18 Total deliveries 3,547 with an average of 296 deliveries per month, 10 deliveries per day. Caesarian sections were 447 most of them with an indication of Obstructed Labour secondary to CPD most of them where referred from our nearby Dispensaries and Health centers.

In 2012 we had 5 maternal deaths compared to 5 maternal deaths for 2011, the main reason being late referral from other health facilities.

The table below shows some important figures in Maternity ward for the year 2012 compared to the year 2011.

S/No. ITEM 2011 2012. 01 Total deliveries 3715 3547 02 Normal deliveries 2618 2448 03 Abnormal deliveries 475 544 04 Multiple gestation 86 76 05 Caesarean section 368 447 06 Breech 47 50 07 Vacuum extraction 30 39 08 Abortion 228 291 09 Ectopic Pregnancies 8 18

NOTE: Normal deliveries have increased because of an increased antenatal awareness as health education is conducted at our health facility but also during our outreach services, those from remote area are allowed to stay in maternity waiting home until they deliver.

PERINATAL DEATHS

In the year 2012 we had a total of 9 deaths compared with 11deaths for the year 2011.

Among the causes of these deaths, home delivaries is the most predisposing factor, effort on heath education through PHC, RCH and others are in progress so as to increase the number of Hospital deliveries, Maternity renovation was finished and handled over by now it is in use with good quality care of antenatal and post natal care, although there was same challenges thus lack of some moden equipment used to care premature babies as prematurity was found to another factor contributing to these deaths.

NOTE: Total percentage of death for the year 2012 were 3% while for 2011 was 4%, it shows from above that we have significantly reduced the number of deaths for this year.

20 Perinatal death is still high at our facility this could be attributed by home deliveries whereby babies come already infected. Currently our Maternity ward has no Incubator for premature babies, may be this could be another factor contributing to an increased rate of perinatal death.

THEATRE DEPARTMENT

Rubya Hospital has one major theatre with two operating table, and two rooms Minor procedures one being at OPD with one operating table each. For the year 2012 the total number of Major operations performed were 876 and minor procedures were 4,632 compared with 788 major operations and 3,798 minor procedures for the year 2011, Operations conducted were both emergency cases and elective.

Most of the operations done are obstetric cases followed by trauma associated with accident. At our hospital we have a programme one by frying doctor by AMREF and another is Ophthalmologist from Ndolage Hospital.

This way we get opportunity of getting specialist (VVF, Orthopedic, Obstetric and Gynaecologist, Paeditrcian e.t.c) to visit us regularly.

It shows from above that the number of operations for 2012 have increased significantly because;  Increased Motor Traffic Accidents.  Increased referral obstetric cases from our near facilities.

ANAESTHESIA IN MINOR THETRE.

Total numbers of anesthesia given in 2012 were 1,703 compared with 1,624 for the year 2011 this included general anesthesia, Spinal anaesthesia and local anesthesia. Types of anesthesia given see the table below:

PROCEDURE MAJOR MINOR 2011 2012 2011 2012

EMO(ETHER) 210 45 0 0 Halothane with 02 75 209 0 0 Spinal 393 553 7 5

From the above table, it shows that most of our Major operations are done by using spinal anaesthesia preferrably by using Macaine or 7.5% Lignocaine, unfortunately is drugs is not available at MSD also in Private pharmacies that creating big wories in running the theatre.

TUBERCULOSIS AND LEPROSY

The hospital policy for treatment and registration of tuberculosis and leprosy patients is in accordance with the National Tuberculosis and Leprosy Programme (NTLP). The DTLC visits and supervise our unit monthly. In the year 2012 we had 937 TB suspect and TB positive were 193, In the year 2011 we had 899 T.B suspect compared and positive were 143.We had no leprosy patients in 2011 as well as in the year of 2012.

HIV infections have been associated with T.B for about 60%, that is a patient with T.b infections will also test positive for HIV infection and vise versa is true. For the year 2012, among 937 tested for TB, 567 (61%) clients were also HIV positive, compare to the year of 2011, among 159 tested T.B positive 132 (83%) were also HIV positive.

DENTAL DEPARTMENT

The dental department is still not yet functioning well and this is due to lack of trained staff. We have one dental room lacking some equipment and staff, one staff running the unit just got on job training. The unit operates from Monday to Friday for decayed tooth extraction only. For the year 2012 we had 1,065 cases attended compare with 1,136 for the year 2011, most of these cases are for dental extraction.

Good lack we have only one Assistant Dental officer completed his training in 2012 working in this department together with one medical attendant although still there is a challenge to our facility as we still have no dental modern room and some equipments there still lacking, sometimes we are forced to refer these patients to other facilities.

Together with DMO’s office, we have now secured some equipment by using Buskek fund 2012/2013, we hope together with other efforts done by our partners including friends of Rubya, this department will be in good shape in the near future.

PHYSIOTHERAPY DEPARTMENT

26

For the year 2012, one physiotherapist and one assistant who got on job training continued to runs this department having a main challenge of lacking some important equipment for physiotherapy.

The numbers of patients attended in the year 2012 were had 1,938 compared with 2,439 in the year 2011 this is because some of the equipment which were working in the past year are now not functioning any more.

Chronic illnesses like mental disorders especially in children and stroke associated with HIV/AIDS and Hypertension are the most leading cause for these patients to undergo physiotherapy. Burns as well as accidents leading to contracture are other contributing disorders.

OPHTHALMOLOGY Optic unit is now 7 year of age, Eye services are offered daily, Ophthalmic Nurse who is trained in preventive eye care runs this clinic. Assistant Medical Officer attends the special cases at any time. The eye specialist from Ndolage hospital visits our Hospital for cataract extractions and management of other difficult cases.

We also received eye specialist from CCBRT on April 2012, they attended 240 clients and operated 20 patients with different conditions including cataract extraction.

The ophthalmic services are integrated in the primary health care activities especially in respect to preventive eye care. The unit has got also a room now with limited equipment for refractive error correction, this is done by ophthalmic nurse and experienced Medical attendant, so glasses are provided.

Types of diseases attended excluding eye surgery for the year 2012 are shown below:

NO. OF CASE CONDITIONS 2011 2012 Refractive error 175 176 Conjunctivitis 190 194 Cataract 96 159 Allergic conjunctivitis 208 283 Trauma 44 38 Uveitis 9 15 Glaucoma 22 0 Normal Eyes 42 36 Aphakia 22 0 Ptergium 18 21 Trachoma inflammation 0 1 Foregn body 14 25

NOTE: From the above table, the optic conditions have increased for about 13% for the year 2012 compared with the year 2011. This could be explained by  Current situation of chronic illnesses like HIV/AIDS, Cancers, Diabetes and Hypertension.  Exposure to unfriendly environmental hazards.

MENTAL HEALTH

Two psychiatric Nurses run the mental unit both at clinic as well in patients. At clinic this service is conducted every Wednesday static and Friday mobile clinic.

For the year 2012, a total of 1,971 patients were attended at clinic and 105 Patients were attended in the wards compared with 1,810 patients attended at clinic and 66 patients in the wards for the year 2011. Their diagnoses are as written in the table below:

CLINIC IN PATIENTS

TOTAL 1810 1971 66 105

It shows from above that, Epilepsy is still a leading cause of mental disorder; community awareness on the prevention of drug abuse could be a necessary step.

SUPPORTIVE AND DIAGNOSTIC SERVICES:

LABORATORY AND BLOOD BANK

Laboratory staff included 3 technologists, 2 Assistant Laboratory technologists and 3 Lab Medical Attendants. Annual laboratory investigation for the year 2012 was 61,586 compare with 52,985 for the year 2011.

Total Blood slides for Malaria parasite examined in 2012 were 8,254 while in 2011 were 8,910. Malaria positive cases were 2,075 (25%) compare with 2, 19 2 (28%) positive cases for the year 2011. MRDT done for the year 2012 were 7,340 against 4,480 MRTD done for the year 2011. RDT positive for the year 2012 were 2,490 (34%).

Malaria is still a problem to our community; more effort is still needed so as to reduce its morbidity and mortality rate; however its morbidity and mortality are not serious as it was in past days.

BLOOD BANK.

Due to high malaria prevalence for the year 2012 this also there were an increase in the number of patients who were transfused with Blood, blood transfusion were 1,359.

29 Through out the year we did not have any stock out of blood in our blood bank and no any blood transfusion reaction was noted.

PHARMACY

Pharmacy staff in the year 2012 remained the same that is consisted of two pharmaceutical Assistants and 5 pharmacy attendants who got experiences from on Job training. The pharmacy staffs are responsible for drug supply to the wards, OPD and RCH Clinic.

The Pharmacy in charge together with members of therapeutic committee are responsible for ordering, receiving and issuing drugs to their respective units.

Requisitions are prepared whenever the drugs are nearly stocking out, the amount of drugs to be ordered depend on the availability of fund at the zonal medical store in Mwanza, For the year 2012 major supply of our drugs was from MSD , some items which we missed from MSD were collected from other private pharmacies.

For the year 2012, we did not experience any stock outs for all necessary drugs and supplies in our Hospital pharmacy.

RADIOLOGY DEPARTMENT

For the year 2012, this department had only one qualified personnel. A Total of 496 were done compared with 485 x-rays for the year 2011.

Number and types of x-ray taken for the year 2012 Vs 2011 were as follows:

TYPE OF X- RAY FIRM TOTAL NUMBER 2011 2012 Chest 204 215 Lumber spine 16 31 Femur 19 24 Skull 8 7 Fore arm 8 14 Shoulder 101 28 Humerus 7 11 Cervical spine 0 2 Pelvis 22 36 HSG 0 7 Elbow joint 17 13 Knee joint 13 20 Leg 31 36 Foot 5 7

NOTE: Most of the X – ray taken where Chest X rays as most of our clients suffers from respiratory tract infections and heart problems. Patient attending CTC also suffer from T.B and PJP as the manifestations of lowered immunity, Chest x ray is also indicated to these clients so as to rule out these Opportunistic infections.

ULTRA – SOUND

Ultrasound examination is mainly done by a trained doctor, who is an AMO radiologist however other doctors perform Ultra sound examination especially Obstetric and Gynecological cases. A total of 78 USS examinations were done against 205 USS examinations for the year 2011.

This significant decrease of the patients examined by USS is due to the ultra sound machine break down as up to now we are still in crises.

LAUNDRY

Patients’ linens are washed in the hospital laundry by boiling, rinsed and squeezed by the machine. We use firewood to boil the water and linens are air-dried. Despite the crude method used linens are cleaned to the maximum satisfaction. The main challenge facing this department is that its building as well as the machine is too old.

TECHNICAL DEPARTMENT

A mechanical engineer who is also experienced in electrical engineering heads the technical department. This department comprises of drivers, plumbers, mechanics, electricians, carpenters and masonry, Up to December 2012, we had 5 Vehicles, 4 Motorcycles, 2 Water Pump machines and 2 Generators (One standby and another portable) for the year 2012 this Department did not experience much difficulties.

31 ELECTRICITY AND WATER SUPPLY

The main supply of Electricity to our Hospital continued to be supplied by TANESCO.We have a small Generator (Honda), which is used for emergency operations and standby big generator for sterilization in case TANESCO power has cut off, these standby generator was donated by Friends of Rubya .Total Hospital bill for Electricity and Water for 2012 was about 24 millions with of an average of 2 millions per month.

Water supply is constant due to the availability of reliable electricity. Electrical meters are installed in the staff houses therefore each staff has to pay his/her bill depending on the use.

ADMINISTRATION.

Hospital Secretary heads this department. It deals with matters concerning staff particulars, accounts, statistics, finances and communications. There is one accountant, one account assistant, one cashier, two office secretaries and two computer trained personals that are both helping each other in communication.

There are separate offices for MO in charge, Hospital Matron and Administrator. Administrator, Matron and Doctor in charge normally meet every day to discuss several matters pertaining the Hospital.

MEDICAL RECORDS.

This unit is part of the Outpatient Department. The nurse in charge of the department supervises it in collaboration with Doctor in charge. This department deals with registration of patients, file keeping and identification of patient file in case of re attendance. Most of staff working at this department are medical attendants; our feature plan is to train two Medical recorders so as to make this department more effective and efficient.

From the above tables the following were observed;

42  Chronic illness like Hypertension, HIV/AIDs, Neoplasms and Heart failure are still major problem in our community as most of deaths are associated with these conditions.

 Malaria in general as well as meningitis are also still major issue to be adressed. Efforts to eradicate these conditions by all stake holders are needed. Health education will be the most prefered initiative.

 Malnutrition( Kwarshiokor) contributed for 18 deaths for 2012 compared with 13 deaths for 2011, it is a disease of poverty and lack of education. Though our PHC for the year 2011 we continued providing health education to our community members.

For those found to be HIV positive, initiatives for linking them to CTC are done also these mothers are given ART “ Efficacy regimen” as the a prophylaxis at the gestation age of 28 weeks till deliveries, this way their babies are borne free from HIV infections.

For those babies borne by HIV positive mothers are given Cotri moxazole as a prophylaxis for respiratory infection but also they get opportunity of checking if they are infected by taking DBS for PCR.

46 FAMILY PLANNING

Rubya Hospital being one of the Mission Hospital, it follows all Roman Catholic core values, this implies that, only natural family planning is practiced at our hospital. Women in reproductive age sometimes with their husbands are given health education on natural family planning.

For the year 2012,312 clients were given this service compared to 322 for the year 2011. The main challenge about this service is lack of education to our clients also women are still not yet empowered hence no decision making. The following villages have been given health education on family planning. Rubya, Rubaho, Ijumbi, Buhangaza,Kamishango, Rwagati and Nshambya.

CARE AND TREATMENT CENTRE (CTC)

This department deals this clients infected with HIV/AIDS. It was initiated at our Hospital since 2004. Up to December 2012 we had 3,356 clients in clinic, 1,218 Males and 1,911 Female, Children were 219 out of these, 1983 clients are on ART while 1373 not yet on ART. Clients are referred from VCT, PITC, T.B/STI clinic, PITC (OPD & IPD) and M.C clinic. This clinic provides services every day with exception of Wednesday were health providers go to distant areas for mobile clinics. Four sites are sited during outreach services namely Mubunda, Kishuro, Rwantege, and Kabare. Most of CTC activities are being supported by ICAP in collaboration with MOHSWF.

The table below shows summaries of the overall number of total tested, their results as well as those on ART and those not on ART.

OVERALL HIV RAPID DIAGNOSTIC TEST.

Departments involved in HIV testing are, P.M.T.C.T, VCT, P.I.T.C, Early Infant diagnosis, Male circumcision and blood donors. Total number of clients tested for HIV were 8,033 where by 7,466 turned to be negative while 567 (7%) were positive for HIV.

It shows that AIDS is still a major problem requiring many innervations by all stake holders. Other explanation for the above findings could be increased awareness about HIV/AIDS to our community as many people come for testing but also change of human behavior, failure to disclose to their partners as well as stigma about HIV/AIDS is still big challenge to the community.

HOSPITAL CHALLENGES FOR 2012

 Shortage of staff in all cadres leading to compromising the patient care, was the first and most burning challenge faced our Hospital for 2012  Delays in including our newly employed staff to the Payroll done by MOHSWF brought about financial constraints as we had to solicit funds from other sources for paying their salaries.

53  Delays in arrears for Hospital staff  Hospital income is declining as now we have significant numbers of exceptions.  Some of our hospital progromme were not met including Human development because of shortage of funds.  Unequal terminal benefits (NSSF) compared with those purely working in Government health facilities was the main reason for staff “Brain drain” to Government facilities creating a very critical shortage of staff.
