Patients want to have easy access to healthcare. The clinic/ pharmacy/ hospital should be in close proximity to the private residence. More importantly, the patient wants to access all the necessary medicines and procedures at that very facility without being referred to a different facility that ay be far away and inconvenient for them.
Unfortunately healthcare is graded and the higher we go is the more complicated and expensive it gets.
FAQs
- Why doesn't the pharmacy (medical aid) accept a prescription from my optometrist?
- Why does the clinic dispense medicines from my clinic book but ask that the doctor writes a separate prescription if the item is out-of-stock and I have to get it from the local pharmacy?
- Why do nurses in the ward wait and/or call the doctor for instructions yet more than 5000 clinics in the country are run by nurses?
- Why does the hospital fly/drive me to a different city for my operation instead of buying the necessary equipment?
This podcast aims to answer these questions and more.
