Dr Niyaf's Online Clinic: A quick, summary, update on what I have been up to in recent weeks.

Welcome to Dr Niyaf's Online Clinic. On this blog-styled site I have decidedly concentrated mostly on topics related to my medical specialty and expertise. I therefore write mostly on issues related to Child Health, Newborn Care, Infant & Young Child Nutrition and Thalassaemia. In more recent times I have also begun writing about issues that have a bearing on how the future of Maldivian health care is shaped. Hope you benefit from the content.

A quick, summary, update on what I have been up to in recent weeks.

Since returning from New Delhi in April I have been struggling to get the blog "fixed". The new working hours as a Civil Servant was also taking its toll on all my personal projects. Anyway, I have been able to do a bit of work and write on some issues elsewhere on internet.

Work with CCHDC and WHO:

I have had the opportunity to travel to Noonu Atoll in June and Shaviyani Atoll in July to conduct WHO training on Essential Newborn Care for healthcare service providers working in the two atolls. The two programs went very well. I am, in particular happy that we have been able to train more trainers during these programs.

Work-in-progress on developing Standard Management Guidelines for Neonatal medical conditions:

This is another long term project that I have had the satisfaction of working on. There is still a lot of work to be done, but we are slowly getting the protocols completed one by one.

Please visit my Facebook and Twitter to see what I have recently written about. I have also spent a bit of time learning about digital photography and am developing a keen interest in photography. Please visit my main page at niyaf.com for an aggregation of all my online content.
