Médecins Sans Frontières provides medical support to Batticaloa, a town on the east coast, which is in the conflict region of Sri Lanka.
Information on the range of pathology, the services provided and the diseases treated was collected from a 25 day assignment in mid-1995.
Services and facilities are limited and the amount of work is extensive, as indicated by the 248 patients who had one or more operations and 814 surgical cases who were admitted. Ten per cent of the work was with conflict-injured patients and the remainder covered a wide range of specialties. Complications were surprisingly few.
The surgical support supplied through Médecins Sans Frontières gives the people of Batticaloa much needed medical care and allows surgeons the opportunity to have an enormously satisfying experience.
无国界医生组织为位于斯里兰卡冲突地区东海岸的城镇拜蒂克洛提供医疗支持。
从1995年年中为期25天的任务中收集了有关病理学范围、所提供服务及治疗疾病的信息。
服务和设施有限,但工作量很大,有248名患者接受了一次或多次手术,814例外科病例入院。10%的工作是针对冲突受伤患者,其余涵盖广泛的专科领域。并发症出奇地少。
通过无国界医生组织提供的外科支持为拜蒂克洛人民提供了急需的医疗护理,也让外科医生有机会获得极其令人满意的经历。
