ACTIVE SCF PROJECTS:
1) Project Tanznaia 2016. Brought a portable ultrasound ( U/S) machine to Biharamulo Hospital this year.
Ultrasound technology continues to expand and improve rapidly. Using a portable hi definition
U/S machine in a rural setting with limited electricity allows for rapid diagnosis and treatment of emergency and chronic conditions. It is especially applicable in Biharamulo where X-ray machines need hi amounts of electricity to work and develop pictures. There is a new approach to trauma using FAST ( focused assessment with Sonography in Trauma) which can be very beneficial here for the stated reasons plus its CHEAP! And it doesn't have to be limited to trauma.
I predict stethoscopes will be a thing of the past in 10 years.
