MONTHLY PATIENTS DISTRIBUTION BY JEEPLINES

Comparison of under five years turn up and adults (all over five years).

UGUNJA JEEPLINE

COMMENTS: - The busiest month of the Ugunja jeep line July, March and August.

- The least busy months are December and January. The low turnup in December could be

attribute to early closer for December holidays, while in January to the later start.

RDS-Western region report Jan-Dec 2012 Page 6

- The least busy months are April and December. We normaly close early during

December, the month of April is always a hard month with scarcity of food. The little

money people get they spend it on food.

HOMABAY JEEPLINE 1

COMMENTS: - At the Homabay 1 jeepline, the busiest month was October followed by July.

December is the least busiest month followed by April.

COMMENTS: - The Months of March, July, October and November were the busiest month in

Homabay jeep line 2.

- As is the case in the other jeeplines, more patients above five years are seen more than

the under five years.

- The least busiest month as usual is December and April.

GENERAL COMENTS ON THE PATIENTS TURN.

- There is observable trend in patients reduction in the month of April across all the five

jeeplines except in Nandi. This could be atributed to the hard economic times coupled

with food scarcity.

- July is the most busy month, followed by August.

- December becomes the least busy month across the 5 jeep lines, this could be attributed

to early closing for December holidays.

- As much as 30% of the total number of patients is children under 5 years old.

6. HIV TESTING SERVICES IN THE JEEPLINE.

The RDS offer HIV testing services in their clinics, patients are counseled and thereafter tested

after obtaining a consent.

This provides the patients with an opportunity to know their status and take an early action

depending on the test results.

This service is offered across all the 5 jeeplines in the western region. However there is no

statistics for the Nandi Hill jeepline. For the other jeeplines the number of patients that had

counseling and tests (C/T) are noted below, as well as those that had a positive status (+VE).

COMMENTS

- Ugunja jeepline has the highest positivity rate followed by Homabay jeepline 2 then

Homaby jeepline 1.

- Maseno has the least Hiv infections out of those tested.

- No data was available for Nandi jeepline.

7. DISTRIBUTION OF MOSQUITOR NETS.

Distribution of Treated Mosquito Nets still remains the main way of protection against malaria.

In this respect the RDS has joined other organizations/institutions in this great fight aimed at

reducing malaria infection. The nets are given for free to pregnant women and children under 1

year visiting the clinic for the first time according to the government policy. For others the nets

are sold to the patients at 50 ksh, however for those that cannot afford this the nets are funded

from the poverty fund. The nets are distributed across all the five jeeplines in the western region

as follows;

9. SPRING PROTECTION.

The Rotary Doctors Western Region has been actively involved in environmental

sanitation through a program supported by Rotary clubs in Sweden. The RDS has enabled

local communities access clean water for domestic use. This has been done through

protection of water sources. Community spring within villages with a big populations are

identified and protected.

The objective of the spring protection are

(a) Reduce risks of water pollution thus reducing water related diseases.

(b) Accessibility of clean water in the community.

(c) Protecting the community water source from human activities which could result into

the drying of the spring.

(d) Helping the community to form a spring protection committee.

(e) Training the committee on how to take care of the spring.

During the year six springs have been protected.

SHALLOW WELLS

During the year the RDS renovated two shallow wells which had been made some years ago but

were not working. The two shallow wells renovated include;

(a). Koguta shallow well.

(b). Ituti shallow well.

10. TRAINING OF THE COMMUNITY HEALTH WORKERS.

It is important to note that during the year, the RDS program in western region organized a

Community Health Workers (CHW) training course at the Homa Bay Jeepline. The training was

conducted in 5 clinics along the Homabay jeepline 1.

Four volunteers were trained as CHW per clinic. Total 20 CHWs were trained. The aim was to

provide the community health workers with knowledge to enable them identify environmental

factors which influence health status and inform the entire community on their roles to create a

desirable change. The CHW then becomes an agent of health behavior change in the community.

At the end of the training each CHW was given;

1. A certificate of attendance.

2. A community health kit.

3. Reporting tools.

11. TRAINING OF THE VOLUNTEERS. In our effort to improve health care delivery within the communities where we operate, the RDS

organized a one day workshop in December 2012 for the volunteers active in the clinics of the

Maseno Jeepline, Ugunja jeepline and the new Matungu jeepline.

14

RDS-Western region report Jan-Dec 2012 Page 14

Three volunteers were trained from each clinic. The three chosen for training were, the

volunteers translating, the volunteer registering patients and the volunteers weighing patients.

The workshop objective was;

(1) Increase the volunteer’s knowledge on basic terms used during patients’ history taking

and examination.

(2) Help the volunteer identify commonly used drugs and there groupings.

(3) Help the volunteers have knowledge in both under five and over five weighing

(4) Teach the volunteers on type data collected from the patients and how to record and use

them.

(5) Teach the volunteers the art of good translation.

(6) Help the volunteers to develop Patients follow up programs.

(7) To make the volunteers understand their role in the health care provision in the

community.

It was a successful training and all the volunteers in attendance wished we were able to bring

them together each year. They said this would help them learn from each other and move

together as a team.

volunteers training.

12. TRAINING OF THE CLINIC HEALTH COMMITTEES. The clinic health committees contribution to health care in the areas where we visit is very

important. With this in mind we decided to organize for a one day training workshop in

December to improve their level of participation. Like the Volunteers training, three participants

were selected from each clinic for the workshop. The criteria for choice was the; chairman,

treasurer and secretary. The workshop was a success.

The objective of the training included;

1. To inform the Clinic committee about the RDS program as a voluntary organization.

RDS-Western region report Jan-Dec 2012 Page 15

2. To inform the CHC about their role in health care provision in the community.

3. To roll out the CHC clinics hand book.

4. To help them identify other local partners and resources in the community.

5. To educate the CHC on proposal writing.

13. INTRODUCTION OF NEW CLINICS.

It is important to note that during the year there have been several clinics that has phased our and

new clinics started. The old clinics were either taken over by the government or relocated due to

other reasons.

PHASED OUT – Clinics are phased out when there is to low commitment from the committee,

the volunteers are not active or when they are too close to another health facility. The main

objective of moving out of a place is though that a new health care facility has been established.

It is a good result that three of the clinics have been taken over by the government for continuity.

RDS-Western region report Jan-Dec 2012 Page 16

NOTE

UGUNJA JEEPLINE- As can be seen in the table by the end of 2012 there are only 2 of the old

clinics in Ugunja jeepline. The two old ones are Esibembe and Umala. Unfortunately the

transformation process in these two old clinics has not progressed. It will be an issue to look at

during 2013.

14. EXITING NANDI JEEPLINE.

One of the major activities this year was the relocation of the Nandi jeepline. The jeepline as

compared to other jeeplines has been underutilized. It was charactrised by low patient turn up,

reduced pathological findings. It was then decided that the output was not comparable to the

input. The decision to relocate the project was discussed with DHMT team Nandi North and an

exit strategy was planned. Our exit strategy was to find a smooth way of moving out slowly

without stopping the services in the areas where we visited. Each clinic was assessed and a

continuation plan was put in place as shown in the table below.

Clinic Exit plan

1 Kamwega

Gok nurse to be posted / meanwhile mobile clinic by Gok to

continue.

2 Mwein

Gok to post a nurse to continue the services.

3 Mogoget

Gok nurse was already posted to continue the services.

4 Kungruet

Gok to start a mobile clinics outreach to continue the services.

5 Kapkagaron

Gok nurse was already posted to continue the services.

15. ESTABLISHING A NEW PROJECT AREA.

With the eminent exit from Nandi, there was need to identify a new project area to replace Nandi

Jeepline. The assessment was initiated by talks with the Nyanza Provincial Director of Medical

Services and Western Provicial Director of Medical Services Dr. Okth and Dr. Ahinduka

respectively. Thess meetings were headed by Dr Sven Ake Hedstrom the RDS chairman.

Two districts were proposed in Nyanza; Chemilil and Muhoroni. Two districts were also

proposed by the western provincial team; Kakamega North and Matungu district.

A survey was done in then four districts. The survey was pegged around the following indicators

(a) The population.

(b) Existing health facilities.

(c) Immunization coverage.

(d) Health facility deliveries.

(e) Total area in Sq Km.

After all these aspects were analyzed Matungu district was chosen as the new project areas.

The project has been initiated in the New Year of 2013. All the preparations was done in the end

of 2012. Clinics sites have been located as follows.

TOTAL DIST 213

The longest distance is Monday with 54km two ways. At other jeeplines there has been a

concern that the distance to cover are too long and cause fatigue even before a doctor start seeing

patients. In the new project we have considered this and reduced the total travels. This also

reduces the financial needs for car maintenance and fuel consumption. It is also worth noting that

for easy project monitoring and impact assessment, all the five clinics are situated within

Matungu district.

16. INTRODUCTION OF A REVISED TREATMENT MANUAL.

Over the years we have had an old treatment manual which was made by one Dr. Charlotte

Almkvist. This year two Doctors (Dr. Ina Dagis and Dr Agnes Geofy) have revised the new

jeepline treatment manual. The manual has been laminated and is in each of the doctors box in a

folder. It was laminated to keep it clean and to prevent unnecessary alteration of the content.

17. HANDING OVER CLINICS TO THE GOVERNMENT STAFFS.

As has been note above, we have successfully handed over some clinics to the Government

staffs. Our main objective has been to help the community establish a daily functioning health

unit, this can be done by cooperating with the government to start a dispensary, the CDF and

community to start a dispensary. The clinics which have been handed over to the government

include:

1. UGUNJA JEEPLINE - Ligala

- Barding.

2. HOMABAY - Otange

As well as all the clinics of the Nandi Hill jeepline.

18. STATIONS:

SIAYA - Siaya is the busiest station, with the best doctors’ house and has a wide compound. It

also has a good room as a pharmacy an advantages which other stations do not have. In the

compound the RDS western region offices are situated.

HOMABAY- The house is smaller as compared to Siaya. It has two small bed rooms with one

large one. The pharmacy is small and does not allow for storage of enough drugs to run for one

whole month.

NANDI HILLS - One of the coldest regions. There was a good doctor’s house for one doctor

only. Had small storage for drugs.

23. Challenges faced during the year

1. Too heavy workload- From the information given above of what has been accomplished

within the year, it is clear the western region had have a heavy work load to achieve all this.

The relocation of Nandi jeepline, training of the CHWs including developing the training

manual, training of committees and volunteers, relocating the different clinics as well as the

office work of updating some of the information formed the many activities we were to deal

with.

2. Loss of the computers- This was worst time for us this year, losing the two computers

with all the information was just too much. The thought of doing everything over again was

unimaginable, but we had to do it.
