🌿 Celebrating the First Respiratory Therapist Day in Our Country! 🌿

Today, we joyfully celebrated Respiratory Therapist Day a truly special occasion and the first of its kind in our hospital,SPHMMC, and in our country Ethiopia.
SPHMMC Respiratory Therapy unit, established three years ago under the Department of Intensive Care Medicine, has grown tremendously. We are proud to have over 30 graduates and 6 second-year students who are serving in various departments, including the ICU, Pediatrics, Gynacology, Medical and Surgical HDU's.
Their contribution to patient care has been remarkable enhancing the quality of critical care, advancing ventilator management, and fostering strong multidisciplinary collaboration.
We are also proud to announce the establishment of the “Association for Respiratory Therapy,” a milestone that will further strengthen this growing profession and promote its development across the country.
As the Department Head of Intensive Care Medicine, I extend my heartfelt appreciation to all our respiratory therapists for their dedication, compassion, and vision. You are making a real difference in the lives of patients and in the future of critical care.
Happy Respiratory Therapist Day!
Dr. Zelalem Getahun
Head, Department of Intensive Care Medicine, SPHMMC.

ዛሬ የዓለም የስትሮክ ግንዛቤ ማስጨበጫ ቀን ነው፡፡
ስትሮክ እጅግ በጣም አሳሳቢ የሆነ በሽታ ሲሆን በአለም ላይ በየሁለት ሰከንዱ አንድ ሰው በስትሮክ ሕመም ይጠቃል።
ይህም የአካል ጉዳት እና ሞትን ከሚያስከትሉ በሽታዎች አንዱ ነው ።

በሽታው ምንድነው›?

ስትሮክ ጭንቅላታችን ውስጥ ያሉ ሴሎች ኦክሲጅን እንዳያገኙ በማድረግ እና በሰውነታችን ውስጥ በቂ የደም ዝውውር እንዳይኖር በማድረግ የሚከሰት ህመም ነው።

በሽታው ያለበትን ሰው እንዴት ማወቅ ይቻላል? እነዚህ የሚከተሉት ምልክቶችን መካከል አንዱን እንኳ ከታዩ ወዲያው ጊዜ ሳያጠፉ ሐኪም ዘንድ መውሰድ ይጋባል፡፡ ይህም ታማሚው ቶሎ በሽታው ሳይባባስ ጤናው ሊመለስ ይችላል፡፡

1. የፊት ገጽታው በአንድ ጎኑ ጋደል ያለ ይመስላል፡፡
2. በአንድ ወይም በሁለቱም ክንዶች የክንድ መዛል: ድክመት ወይም መደንዘዝ
3. የመናገር ወይም ቃላትን የማውጣት ችግር ሊታይ ይችላል፡፡ አነጋገሩ እንግዳ ይሆናል፡፡

ክቡር ጠቅላይ ሚኒስትር አብይ አህመድ(ዶር) በሕዝብ ተወካዮች ምክር ቤት 6ኛ ዙር፣ 5ኛ ዓመት፣ 2ኛ መደበኛ ስብሰባ ላይ ኮሌጀችንን በተመለከተ እንዲህ ተናግረዋል::
