TRICHY: A refresher course for obstetrics and gynaecology staff, including doctors, by a team from Singapore International Foundation (SIF), SingHealth, and KK Women's and Children's Hospital in Singapore is likely to commence this month-end at the Mahatma Gandhi Memorial Government Hospital (MGMGH).
A two-member team from Singapore visited the hospital on Thursday as a precursor to the training programme. A source in the hospital said the team discussed with authorities on the date of commencement of the training programme and identify suitable place to conduct the programme inside the hospital premises. The training programme is expected to begin on July 27 or 28.
"A team of experts from Singapore may visit the hospital as part of the programme on providing technical expertise to the staff selected from various government health centres in the state," said an official requesting anonymity.
The experts attached to the project had visited the facilities related to the obstetrics and gynecology in MGMGH in September 2014 and April 2015. The purpose of the visit was to study the status of the maternal mortality rate (MMR) and infant mortality rate (IMR) in the state.
The six-month training programme is aimed at providing training to reduce maternal mortality rate (MMR) and infant mortality rate (IMR).
The programme also consists of onsite training in Singapore. "The decision on the onsite training may be taken after the first six months programme here," an official said.
However, director of medical education (DME) Dr S Geethalakshmi maintained that the decision on the training programme by a team from Singapore in the state was not taken yet.
"The Singapore medical team is carrying out the survey and they would submit the report to the government for the next decision. So, the decision on the launch of the programme has not been taken," DME told TOI.
