CEMADIT: The Center for Medical Analysis, Diagnostic Imaging & Treatment
The Center for Medical Analysis, Diagnostic Imaging and Treatment (CEMADIT), is the Clinic that provides medical services to our community members and the main site for hands-on, practical, clinical internships for the students of our School of Health, Biomedical and Computer Sciences (SHBCS). Its maternity unit is being expanded to accommodate the increasing needs of the community.
1) Objectives
Its main objective is to provide needed health care to community members. It also provides medical services to patients from rural, difficult- to-reach communities. It provides the principal site for hands-on, practical, clinical internships for the students of our School of Health, Biomedical and Computer Sciences (SHBCS). Its maternity unit is being expanded to accommodate the increasing needs of the community.
2) Consultation
Conducted within the Clinic by permanent health care personnel and in the community by the Community Health Care Workers;
3) Practicing Clinic
It is the principal practicing site for all our students of the School of Health, Biomedical and Computer Sciences (SHBCS);
4) Ambulance Service
This unit, associated with the Transportation and Eco-Tourism Program, has proven to be very helpful for the following two reasons: 1) patients with life-threatening cases are rushed to the health facility, CEMADIT, within a very short space of time; and 2) rural farmers and their produce are transported to urban markets, where they sell their produce at higher prices and faster, thereby empowering them economically and financially, and consequently, making it possible for them to afford basic health care, improve their nutrition and general health status; and
5) Maternity
This unit provides prenatal, natal, and mother and child care for members of the community. It provides basic child care training and education and free meals for after-birth mothers.
6) Pharmacy
We stock and sell a variety of medication. The medications are all sold at discount prices to assist those who intend to buy them and retail.
7) Diagnostic Imaging
In the area of diagnostic imaging, we have modern X-ray machines and ultrasound machines. We need competent, qualified technicians capable of performing a variety of diagnostic tests and examinations. We will be performing tests and examinations not only ordered by our resident physician, but at the request of our patients as directed by their own physician.
