Introduction

The purpose of this field trip was to look at existing conditions and facilities available
at UTHM Healthcare Centre. Apart from that the trip was also intended to discuss
possible improvements that can be suggested to the management of the centre.

The health centre was initially known as Students' Health Centre started its
operation in May 2002. At its initial stage there were only two registered nurses and
a doctor available. However, to date the centre has the luxury of having two medical
doctors, two dentists, two medical assistants, nine registered nurses, two dental
surgery assistant, a radiographer, a pharmacist and a physiotherapist.

The centre has the following objectives:


1. to provide the centre with state of the art medical facilities.
2. to diagnose and treat patients professionally and efficiently.
3. to prevent and control infectious and contagious diseases.
4. to raise awareness in term of health knowledge among
staff and students and the locals.

Field Observation

The centre is the sole centre that provides healthcare to students; alternatively, staff
have the choices to seek medical help form panel clinics chosen by the university.
However, according to the observation from mid-day till evening there were many
staff that sought medical assistance from the centre as it was said that the centre
provides much better facilities and medicine as compared to the panel clinics.

The centre is capable of catering approximately 200 medical patients and 100 dental
patients on day to day basis. In addition to out-patients service the centre also
provides haemodialysis unit which can cater up to eight patients at one time. This
unit was newly established as to meet the demand of the increasing number of
kidney patients among staff and staff’s family members.

It was found out that waiting time was one of a significant problem at that centre.
Most patients usually had to wait up to 20 minutes before getting treatments. Other
than that it was also observed that patients had to wait approximately another 15
minutes to get their prescriptions.

Conclusion

It is obvious that healthcare plays a major role in ensuring students’ academic


success. Therefore, it is important for the centre to render its best service to cater
the needs of its patients. In regards of waiting time the centre should consider of
adding more medical staff to its workforce.
