ThembaCare Grabouw has had a very busy month with both Sister Joyce (who runs the in-patient unit) and Marlene (who manages out patients) away on annual leave. We’ve managed to stay on top of things with the expertise of Thandi, Suzette and Elizabeth managing out-patients and a locum to help oversee the in-patients.
Something we are struggling with this month is our transport situation. The project has 4 cars which we depend upon for covering extra ground when visiting our out patients and doing our voluntary testing. We are currently only have 1 up and running with the other 3 all off the road needing major repairs which we just don’t have the funds for. It’s making life tough when we are trying to make sure we see all 460 of our patients each month. Please pray that this situation will be resolved as soon as possible and let us know if you know anyone who can help.
On a more positive note, the in-patients have been 100% with only 1 death this month. We have also managed to discharge out-patients - this is always fantastic news as it means we have completed our job and the patients are able to care for themselves.
