LIQUID MEDICINE GOES METRIC *****
THE GOVERNMENT'S METRICATION PROGRAMME HAS TAKEN ANOTHER STEP FORWARD THIS MONTH (AUGUST), WITH THE MEDICAL AND HEALTH DEPARTMENT PRESCRIBING LIQUID MEDICINE IN MILLILITRES.
IN ALL GOVERNMENT CLINICS AND HOSPITALS, LIQUID MEDICINE IS NOW PRESCRIBED IN 5ML UNITS, AND PATIENTS ARE ISSUED WITH STANDARD 5ML SPOONS.
IN THE PAST, LIQUID MEDICINE WAS PRESCRIBED IN TEASPOONFULS. THE NEW UNIT IS MORE ACCURATE AND CONVENIENT FOR THE PATIENTS. THE PRIVATE MEDICAL AND PHARMACEUTICAL PROFESSIONS HAVE ALSO PLEDGED THE IR SUPPORT TO THE CHANGE-OVER.
A SPOKESMAN FOR THE METRICATION COMMITTEE SAID, +MEDICAL PROFESSIONALS FROM THE PRIVATE SECTOR HAVE AGREED THAT AS FAR AS POSSIBLE, THEY WILL FOLLOW THE GOVERNMENT'S PRACTICE IN PRESCRIBING LIQUID MEDICINE IN 5ML UNITS AND IN ISSUING 5ML SPOONS TO THE IR PATIENTS.+
TO PUBLICISE THIS CHANGE-OVER, A BILINGUAL POSTER ENTITLED 'MEDICINE GOES METRIC IS NOW ON DISPLAY AT ALL GOVERNMENT MEDICAL INSTITUTIONS.
COPIES OF THE POSTER HAVE ALSO BEEN SENT TO PRIVATE DOCTORS, CLINICS, DISPENSARIES AND NON-GOVERNMENT HOSPITALS.
