Additional Comments:
- Work starts with daily morning 07:30 meeting.
- The only district hospital in the district with a functional theater at time of writing. All none level 2+ maternity cases will come to you. Good exposure to be independant in O&G.
- There is no “new hospital“. Check on Google streetview, it is what you get.
- Doctors help each other out, but management does not. You will be put under the spotlight in PSI meetings or thrown under the bus for the most mundane things.
- Expect prolonged delays in EMS service to collect patients you referred.
- Avoid this hospital unless you’re interested in O&G.
