FROM THE SENIOR ADMINISTRATIVE OFFICER
2011-12 was
the Golden Jubilee year of the hospital. After a 3 year long drought we were
blessed with heavy rains. And towards the fag end of the year, we were blessed
to be empanelled under the Rashtriya Swasthya Bima Yojana of the Government of
India, which we expect to go a long way in furthering our core value of focus
on the poor and marginalized.
Although, we continue to lack a stable unit of doctors especially
specialists, there has been a steady rise in the number of patients accessing
our facilities.
The highlight of the year was the Golden Jubilee celebrations which
extended for almost a week. We were blessed by the presence of Dr Mark Kniss,
the founder of the unit as well as Rev. Paul Kniss, the pioneer missionary to
this region.
The Burns Unit construction was started and is expected to be completed
by October 2012.
In addition to the RSBY, the co-operation with the government continues
through the Tuberculosis Unit under the Revised National Tuberculosis Program.
The hospital continues to remain committed to implement the Mukhya Mantri
Janani Suraksha Yojana as well to be an Integrated Counselling and Testing
Centre facility under the Jharkhand Aids Control Society. The Global Fund
Programme for Tuberculosis continues to do yeoman service to Tuberculosis
Control in the district. Since August 2011, we are actively participating in
the Institutional Maternal Death Review facilitated through UNICEF.
The networking with various mission organizations and churches including
Catholic Church dispensaries, Gospel Echoing Missionary Society and the Calvary
Gospel Mission.
As we look ahead, consultants, especially in the specialties of Medicine
and Paediatrics is a dire need. The poverty, remoteness and lack of basic
infrastructure like electricity and transport begs for external funding to
sustain our smooth functioning. A fully fledged blood bank is a dire need of
the region.
We continue to value and cherish the support received from the
functionaries of the government especially the Civil Surgeons of Palamu and
Latehar, Dr Gopal Srivastava and Dr Aaron Tigga respectively, members of the
Unit Management Committee, and the Central Office of EHA
All glory, honor and praises to Jesus Christ, the King of kings and the
Lord of lords.
CLINICAL SERVICES
The reporting year has been very busy in spite of almost 2 months
lost to general strikes and non-availability of a specialist team. In addition
to patients from the districts of Palamu, Latehar and Garhwa, we also recieved
patients from other districts of Jharkhand as well as Bihar, Madhya Pradesh,
Chattisgarh and Uttar Pradesh. The followng are compilation of statistics over
the last 3 months.

OPHTHALMOLOGICAL SERVICES
CBM SARO (N) and CBM Germany continued their generous support and
encouragement which enabled us to maintain regular eye services. Major
challenges in the form of bandhs (general strikes), poor communication
facilities including poor road-conditions brought about a fall in the statistics
of eye OPD as well surgeries. One major development which looks to be
encouraging for ophthalmic services is the enrollment of the hospital under
RSBY. We have been able to maintain 100% IOL surgeries and SICS for all
cataract surgeries.
Dr. Pradhan`s absence on leave from the hospital as a family for 48 days in the season for his only daughter`s wedding affectd the eye work to a certain
extent.

THE FUTURE –
1. 800
cataract surgeries and 6000 outpatients in the next reporting year.
2. Open a
spectacle shop within the hospital.
3. Network
with the government to enable Sahiyas to screen causes of visual disability and
refer for appropriate treatment/surgery.
4. Further
training for Dr Srijit Pradhan in Phacoemulsification.
5.
Multipurpose training of all the staff.
6.
Ophthalmic technician training course in the unit.
I would like to place on record the Officers from CBM SARO (N) for
their kind help and understanding. We are also very grateful to the families of
Mrs. Betty Goodwin and Mrs. Ivy Kerr, Cambray Baptist Church, Cheltenham, UK
for facilitating the purchase of the Non-Contact Tonometer. We are also
grateful to Dr. Santosh Mathew, Executive Director, EHA . Certainly I would
also like to thank Dr. Sydney Thyle (Ophthalmic coordinator EHA) for his
patience, tolerance and guidance.
GENERAL SURGERY AND BURNS UNIT
- Emergency surgeries including complicated obstetrics comprise the
major chunk of work.
- Initiation of the construction of the Burns Unit has been a major
development the last year.
- Need to bring in laparoscopic surgery into the unit at some point of
time.
- We expect the surgical services to become busier after the full
fledged functioning of the Burns Unit. In addition to 2 nurse anesthetists,
we’ve sent a third nurse for the Nurse Anesthetist course. We seriously explore
the possibility of having one more Surgeon.
MATERNAL AND CHILD HEALTH
The maternal and health
care of the unit continues to progress well in spite of the absence of
consultants in obstetrics and pediatrics. The highlight of the year has been
the operationalisation of the Newborn Intensive Care Unit under the leadership
of Sr. Wendy Cowles along with Dr Johnson. 6 nurses were specially identified
and trained. 2 of the nurses completed RCH training at Herbertpur.
The empanellment of the
hospital under the RSBY program will bring more patients. We explore the
possibility of expanding our labour room facilities to accomodate at least 5
delivery cots. Unfortunately, the de-empanellment of the hospital from the
Mukhya Mantri Janani Suraksha Yojana has been a discouragement.

RADIODIAGNOSIS SERVICES
The
Ultrasound diagnosis services are being ably handled by Dr Shishir Jojo and we sent him for a certificate course. We plan to send one more doctor for the certificate course next year. Mr John
Jeyachandran continues as X-Ray technician. Digital imaging of X-Rays is
something we are exploring as we develop.
TUBERCULOSIS UNIT
The Tuberculosis Unit which is one of the first of its kind under the
Public Private Partnership of the Revised National Tuberculosis Control
Programme continues to provide credible services to the region. We acknowledge
the inputs provided by the District Tuberculosis Officer, Dr Anand Kumar and
his staff.
NJH has played a pivotal role in the control and treatment of
tuberculosis in the region of Palamu district since the year 2000. Initially
the hospital provided DOTS facilities with external financial support (T.B
ALERT U.K) and later was recognized as a Designated microscopy center(DMC)
under Revised National Tuberculosis Control Programme (RNTCP) in 2003. Later
the DMC was upgraded into a Tuberculosis Unit (T.U) under RNTCP in 2006
catering to a population of five lakhs and supervises the functioning of
microscopic centers (DMC) in Panki, Patan, Lesliganj , Manatu and Satbarwa
blocks. The present target population of the TU is almost 650,000.
The statistics over the last three years are given below –

Counseling and Testing Centre under the Jharkhand State Aids Control Society.
The GF TB R 9 project continues to provide synergistic support for the
Tuberculosis Unit.

Mimi were restarted after Dr Aji Mathew was posted to NJH. With a vision to

Other major
requirements are–
- Separate office space for administration.
- The attendance marking system is manual at the point and so many a times we observe manipulation in marking attendance which also affects the leave compensation of the employees. Therefore we also need a better system for attendance marking and leave management, like a biometric attendance marking unit.
- Unique identification system has been put into place. However, we need a human resource management system (HRMS) to streamline the details and data.
