Old skool numbering system…

I think It’s from British, the system I mean. I like to go to the community clinic when it’s come to my baby immunization routine. From my first child to the second. In fact, when I was a kid, I usually accompanying my mother to the community clinic for routine checkup of my baby brother / sister . Now it turn me to go checkup with my own baby. The system has not change since I was a kid. The community will usually have 2 nurses that can be a midwife and specialize in mother and baby care.

The clinic surround by a tranquil atmosphere..

Every community & village will have one community clinic and everybody in the community will recognize their nurses on duty. If there are exchange and old nurses must be transferred to other places, the village headman will announce the new nurses so everybody will take alert.When a women pregnant, they will go to the community clinic and registered to get the government red book. This government red book will be used by the nurse to monitor mother and baby development till the baby is delivered. Mother must come once a month to be check by the nurse and get their monthly vitamins and nutrient such as Folic Acid, B-Complex and Ascorbic Acid for free from the clinic.

The mother’s chart book…

IF the mother don’t come according to the schedule, they will come to visit you at home to see how is your condition. I know the nurses at my home town community clinic very well and we are like friends. They also live there at the clinic. So if an emergency happen and you history is good, they can help to deliver the baby at home. When the baby is born, for the first week, they will visit you at home to help and educate the mother on dealing with the newborn. IF anything unusual detected at the baby such as jaundice, they will refer the case to the Hospital.

Only for weighing the baby…

I never go the the private clinic to get my baby immunization, not just because it is subsidize by the government, it is more about the good relationship between me and the staff at the clinic.

The jab, my baby only cry once than smile again…
