dc.description.abstract | A one year situational analysis of utilization of gynaecological beds at the Central Women's Hospital (Unit II) is presented. The pattern of admission, details of treatment, duration of hospital stay and bed occupancy were determined. There were 667 admissions of which 564 were elective admissions and 103 were emergencies, of all admissions, 84.1 percent were operated on. Of the abdominal operations, hysterectomy (135) was the most common operation followed by female sterilization (120). Anterior and posterior colporrhaphy (56) was the commonest vaginal operation performed. The mean hospital stay for cases of female sterilization, myoma uterms, ovarian tumour and uterovaginal prolapse was 7 days, 26 days, 22 days and 19 days respectively while the mean waiting time was 5 days, 14 days, 14 days and 11 days respectively. Recommendations whereby the waiting time and the hospital stay and indirectly the bed occupancy can be reduced are presented. It is hoped that quality medical care can be rendered by optimal use of existing resources. | en_US |
