REPORT ON UFONAM BSN-III STUDENTS PARTICPATION IN MEDICAL CAMP ORGANIZED BY KONPAL

Students of BSN-III, Ziauddin University Faculty of Nursing and Midwifery participated in the Medical camp at Long Khoso Village, Hyderabad on March 13th, 2021 organized by the KONPAL organization.

Where students were assigned to different tasks such as assessing the vital signs, taking the history from different age groups,  how to assess patients, and to learned how to work with doctors outside the hospitals, some of the female students were assigned to go with female doctors to examine females at home and worked there. Also, provide some medicines to those who need them and learn how to educate a layman and deal with people having different age groups. While assessing patients it is found that most of the patients were malnourished, had kidney stones, and were suffering from jaundice, hepatitis C and AIDs.

In the nutshell, we can upgrade their status and decreases the morbidity rate by providing pure water, one small education institution from where children and adult can get a basic education.

Such camping activities should be planned more frequently, as the students learned a lot of things like teamwork, management skills, counseling, and dealing with patients.
