Health camp at Sipkhana, Kalikot 2018
To achieve the project objective of providing telemedicine service training to medical and non-medical personnel, three monthly follow-up camps were conducted at the Sipkhana telemedicine clinic in Kalikot. On December 9th, 2018, the medical coordinator visited Sipkhana for two days, during which he conducted clinical examinations of 50 patients. This visit involved two key tasks: examining patients and supervising the telemedicine clinic. The experience gained from this visit provided valuable insights into the operational realities of the clinic, including challenges faced and future directions. Additionally, the coordinator had the opportunity to meet and engage with the lab staff and provided technical training at the telemedicine center.
