The Prime Foundation organized a three-day spinal anesthesia training workshop at Kuwat Teaching Hospital.
The overall aim of the skills-based training workshop was to build capacity of the medical officers and anesthesia technicians in the merged tribal districts for initiating and maintaining basic emergency and newborn care.
Speakers at different sessions shed lights on comprehensive emergency obstetric and newborn care services in the hard areas.
Prof Dr Hafeez-ur-Rahman Dean of Health Sciences Peshawar Medical & Dental Colleges, Dr Anisa Afridi Director MNCH Merged Tribal Districts and Dr Saeed Anwar Director PIPH delivered sessions during the concluding session of the said training workshop.
At the end of the workshop, Dr Hafeez-ur-Rahman Dean of Health Sciences Peshawar Medical & Dental Colleges, Dr Anisa Afridi Director MNCH Merged Tribal Districts and Dr Saeed Anwar Director PIPH gave away certificates to the workshop participants, facilitators, and resource persons.
Meanwhile, an event was held at Peshawar Medical College for the students and faculty of Peshawar Medical & Dental Colleges where Dr Javed Iqbal, Professor Emeritus Surgery is also a well-known medical educationist and a popular motivational speaker was the keynote speaker.
He told the audience that no doubt knowledge, skills, and attitude mattered a lot in creating capable and competent health professionals but society needed values and their successful transfer to all professionals on top of everything else.
Educational approaches required being tailor-made for individual students rather than one size fits all, and needed to be based on partnership, respect, and friendliness. Likewise, the education and training endeavors needed to be made more challenging than stressful for the learners.
