KMU/PGCN Celebrates International Nurses Day

“Nurses are angel who touches a life every day and brings smile and hope in most of the life they touch. Along their carrier they come across a number of people all of whom they provide love and care just as a family member would do”, this was stated by Prof Dr Muhammad Hafizullah Vice Chancellor Khyber Medical University (KMU), Peshawar while addressing as chief guest on the occasion of International Nurses Day celebrations held here at Post Graduate College of Nursing (PGCN) Hayatabad Peshawar.

VC KMU said that International Nurses day is celebrated by the international Council of Nursing (ICN) every year to recognize the selfless hard work, commitment and tireless effort of these vital health professionals. The Nurses Day celebrates a different theme each year and tries to educate and create awareness among the public on the importance of the cause. The important role nurses have in our life is inevitable and they should always be acknowledged for the care and support they shower their patient with, he added.

He said that it is also be one of the major causes of money loss as a large amount is spent on treatment and medicines over the time. The condition can be prevented or controlled if routine checkups and effective communication and relationship are observed between the patient and the health care professionals. Good and effective nursing facilities can always help to reduce the challenges the patient has to face every day.  He further said that a core function of nurses is the delivery of care appropriate to need, improving the health and well-being of patients.

Prof. Dr Muhammad Hafizullah urged that the nurse’s role is fundamental in providing information and support in order to enable patients to make appropriate choices for their health.  Nurses provided nursing services to a broad range of the population, often managing undifferentiated patient needs.

These competencies are presented within a framework of four categories that encompass the nurse practitioner’s holistic approach to health care. The four categories are Health Assessment and Diagnosis; Health-Care Management and Therapeutic Intervention; Health Promotion and Prevention of Illness, Injury and Complications; and Professional Role and Responsibility.

It is worth mentioning here that the International Nurses Day is celebrated on 12th of May, the birth anniversary of Florence Nightingale, Founder of Modern Nursing to honor the dedicated services provided by the nursing community and the nursing week is observed from May 9 to May 15. Nurses are acknowledged for their dedication and hard work by presenting them thank you gifts.

Khyber Medical University and DAWN’s Collaborative Panel Discussion/Dialogue on Medical Ethics

Theme: Providing Ethical Health Services in a Challenging Environment

Recently several serious cases of medical negligence have been reported and debated nationwide in Pakistan. The case of Huma Akram – wife of cricketer Waseem Akram and of young Imanae Malik focused attention on the issues of the competence of the medical profession in the country, its moral values and the need for oversight and regulation. The inquiry committees instituted to probe the Huma Akram and Imanae cases raised questions on issues ranging from the highly unbecoming and ruthless conduct of doctors to the utter lack of professional acumen among them (http://pakteahouse.wordpress.com/2009/12/18/tackling-medical-malpractice-in-pakistan-law-media-and-society/). In other words they questioned the professionalism of doctors in Pakistan.

In this era of corporatisation, and an environment which encourages self-protective and self-interest-promoting behaviours, concerns about professionalism in medicine have arisen in the developed countries as well. In these countries medical academic institutions are now actively teaching and experimenting with ways and means of teaching professionalism to students and trainees. In addition, licensing and certifying bodies are attempting to assess the professionalism of practicing physicians on an ongoing basis. Medical educators are being urged to consider the attribute of altruism in making admission decisions and enhance moral development in health professionals. Three organizations of North America and Europe, ABIM Foundation, ACP–ASIM Foundation, and European Federation of Internal Medicine have jointly prepared a charter titled ‘Medical Professionalism in the New Millennium: A Physician Charter’, to guide physicians and health care providers to practice medicine ethically and professionally.

The debate on the issue in Pakistan, has been extremely subjective and polarised and except for reactive actions ordered by the government against some individuals directly involved in the two cases, no critical analysis has been undertaken and hence no informed solutions have emerged. The opportunity created by the reporting of these cases for highlighting, debating and finding solutions for the several serious ethical issues related to health care in Pakistan, is thus being lost. More significantly, if the situation is not tackled effectively, the instant dissemination of news of medical negligence and malpractice by news media is likely to lead to the creation of a breach in the trusting physician and patient relationship, with serious consequences for the health care system and the wellbeing of the people of Pakistan.

The issue is multidimensional and demands a broad-based analysis and discussion. First and foremost, the medical profession needs to look inwards and honestly and sincerely identify the deficiencies and gaps in its systems of training and its interaction with the people. Having taken on the responsibility of caring for their fellow humans during sickness when they are at their most vulnerable and of advising and guiding them on how to be healthy, they are expected to develop and demonstrate higher moral standards and altruism than professionals of other fields. They are required to fully abide by their oath of “doing no harm”. It is time therefore for the medical profession to deliberate on what is preventing them from practicing ethical medicine and to develop evidence-informed solutions for responding to the issues and constraints of the existing system.

The media is another major player in the issue under discussion. Besides its role in promoting prosocial change, in the existing conditions of health care in which systems and instruments of accountability are not in place, it has the added responsibility of providing an avenue to the people for registering their complaints and grievences. While responding to this need of the people, it has to be aware that trust and confidence are the critical underpinings of doctor patient relationships. It must therefore ensure its reporting will not lead to the generalization of individual incidences to the whole profession of medicine in the country.

The newly established Khyber Medical University has been assigned the role of leadership of the field of health professionals’ training and education in the Khyber Pukhtunkhwa province. The university is cognizant of the current gaps in health professionals’ training in the province including the absence of the subject of ethics at all levels of the training system. The situation which has arisen out of the reporting of the recent incidences of medical negligence in Pakistan, has prompted the university to take on the issue on priority basis.

A Panel Discussion is being organized on Thursday, May 13, 2010 in the PGMI Auditorium, Lady Reading Hospital, Peshawar, to initiate a dialogue on the issue and develop preliminary recommendations for consideration for implementation and /or further discussion. A key collaborating partner in this activity is the Center for Bioethics and Culture (CEBEC), of the Sindh Institute of Urology and Transplantation (SIUT), Karachi. Prof. Farhat Moazzam, Director of the centre and Prof Aamir Jafarey, senior faculty member will key participants in the discussion.
