Transfer of the patient
to the modern structure
The fonction of the modern physician: the
interview gives an insight on the background pf the patient before
the physical examination that follows. The doctor never
administers a modern treatment. he makes a diagnosis before,
during and after treatment given by the traditional healers.
Clinical examination is on the various functioning of the body
Preliminary check up:
- blood pressure
- pulse
- respiration
- temperature
- Weight
The lab equipment at CEMETRA
is credible and is supervised by certified technician
The differents exams
help the doctors to confirm his diagnosis.
Once the modern diagnosis is
established, the doctor refers the patient to the traditional
healers.
Transfer of the patient
to the traditional healer
The traditional healer
ignores the diagnosis made by the physician. He has his own method
of diagnosis.
The treatment used by the
traditional healer is broad based and varied.
Treatment could take the
form of a bath, herbs, sacrifice and ritual.
Return to Modern structure
The patient returns to the modern structure for
a repeat evaluation of the clinical and laboratory values. this
allows for a post treatment analysis which determines iff there
was worsening, no change or improvement in the patient's disease.
