Key Responsibilities

For mothers, this may involve initial management of labor complications. For children, it involves addressing critical pediatric conditions.

• Patient Stabilization and Referral: Stabilize critically ill patients and prepare them for admission to the appropriate ward (e.g., ICU, NICU, or maternity ward) or for transfer to a specialized hospital if needed.

• Medical Procedures: Perform minor emergency procedures under supervision, such as suturing of minor lacerations, catheterization, or providing initial care for newborn resuscitation.

• Documentation: Maintain accurate and detailed medical records for all emergency patients, including their medical history, presenting complaints, vital signs, and the treatment provided.

• Collaboration: Work effectively as part of a multidisciplinary team, communicating clearly with nurses, lab technicians, and specialist consultants (like a Gynecologist or Pediatrician) to ensure a coordinated and seamless flow of care.
