According to the curriculum of Bachelor of Medicine and Bachelor of Surgery (MBBS) program of the Tribhuvan University (TU), Institute of Medicine (IOM), the Department of Community Medicine of Gandaki Medical College (GMC) has been conducting the District Health System Management (DHSM) study for the students of MBBS, third phase (4th year). This program provides us an opportunity for clinical and community orientation to develop skills to become a competent medical professional to work at different levels of hospitals and district health system. This course enables us to assess resource potentials and constraints, prioritize the health problems and set strategies for solving them. It also enables us to be able to work in promotive, preventive, curative and rehabilitative health services as part of district health team. The program begins with theory classes on management and orientation classes at the college and placement of the students in three different places with rotation along with field supervisions in between. Here we are presenting our investigations on epidemiology of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease made at Western Regional Hospital during our District Health System Management (DHSM) study in third phase (Fourth year).Journal of Gandaki Medical College Volume, 09, Number 2, July December  2016, Page: 65-69

Background: A revised family physician (FP) training programme was introduced in South Africa in 2007. A baseline assessment (2011) of the impact of FP supply on district health system performance was performed within the Western Cape Province, South Africa. The impact of an increased FP supply within this province required re-evaluation.Aim: To assess the impact of FP supply on indicators of district health system performance, clinical processes and clinical outcomes in the Western Cape Province. The objectives were to determine the impact of FPs, nurses, medical officers (MOs) and other specialists.Setting: The study sample included all five rural districts and eight urban subdistricts of the Western Cape Province.Methods: A secondary analysis was performed on routinely collected data from the Western Cape Department of Health from 01 March 2011 until 30 April 2014.Results: The FP supply did not significantly impact the indicators analysed. The supply of nurses and MOs had an impact on some of the indicators analysed.Conclusion: This study did not replicate the positive associations between an increase in FP supply and improved health indicators, as described previously for high-income country settings. The impact of FP supply on clinical processes, health system performance and outcome indicators in the Western Cape Province was not statistically significant. Future re-evaluation is recommended to allow for more time and an increase in FP supply.
