We started the day at 9 am with a warm welcome by Mr.Yusof. The programme planned for the day was to learn the working system on how the outpatient clinic function in KK Bandar Sg. Petani.
The outpatient clinic was initially known as Klinik Pesakit Luar, but currently it is known as Unit Pesakit Luar. This unit consists of 8 medical officers and assisted by medical assistances and nurses.
There are 8 examination rooms and 1 treatment room. There are about 400-500 patients a day and more on Sundays. The operating hour for this unit is from 8am-5pm, extended hours 5.30pm-9.30pm. This unit covers mostly all the medical illnesses except for hypertension, diabetic and asthma which is covered by the non communicable disease clinic.
Patients that need medical attention will walk in to the clinic. Upon that they will have to register at counter 1 and will be given a number. Criteria for treatment charges are as below:
-Child below 1 year of age: Free
-School going children: Free
-Public: RM1
-Pregnant mothers for outpatient treatment: RM1
-Government servant/retiree: Free
-Disable/Special people: Free
-Speacialist treatment for each visit:RM5
-Non-Malaysian/migrant: RM15
After registration, another number will be given and patients will have to wait for their turn to consult/meet the medical officers. There is a separate counter for those who only want to do medical examination.
Together with the Unit Pesakit Luar, there is Pusat Rawatan 1 for TB patients. Here the medical officer will diagnose and start the multidrug therapy immediately.
