Although it had been 2 months past but still I want to share the experiences.
The fourth day, as one of the program’s objective which was to figure out the prevalence of diseases, we conducted a simple but common medical checkup such as history taking, Body Mass Index (BMI), blood pressure (BP), blood glucose, physical examination and consultation.
The programme started at 9.00 am and finished at 3.00pm. The programme went smoothly on time and discipline was maintained and well co-ordinated. It was conducted at “ruai” of the long house. All the villagers underwent physical examination. We worked with patients, helped organize the index cards that contain patient medical information and consulted with Dr Reza and Dr. Mohanad to work out follow-up care for patients and families. Their findings were noted and comments were written. The main focus was on hypertension, diabetes and bronchial asthma, and on adolescent questionnaire. From medical checkup that had been done, we noted that some of the patient had serious health problem, so Dr Reza suggested to write a report and passed it to Mr Awang Ismardi for further action. We also found some interesting case on metastases lung cancer and tumor at nasal region that compressed the nerve.

After medical checkup session ended at 3.00pm, the activity then continues with visit to the clinic Nanga Setamang which located just in front of the river and the participant had to cross the river to go there. Our arrival was welcomed by the nurses since Mr Awang Ismardi was not available during that time. We visited around the clinic and took photos. By 5.30pm we return to the village and rest. By 8.30pm, we gathered at penghulu’s house to have meeting with Dr Reza regarding to the activities of the day.
