Care made easy

Point of Care machines (POCs) provide services that enable healthcare providers to render better patient management and ensure optimized clinical outcomes. These machines produce results in minutes, enabling critical treatment decisions to be made instantly. However in Zimbabwe they were just being used as diagnosis on pregnant women but as time passed the health sector now wants more POCs, which they want to use for monitoring cd4 count (the number of red blood cells in the blood). Hopefully when I visit any clinic in the next 3 months there will be a Point of Care machine at that institution.
