HOME
NURSING
The certificate course in Home Nursing
(Bed Side Assistant to Patients) has been conducted by SYD from the year 1991 with a view to
educate and
employ school drop outs or any interested women. These girls are trained to provide care to
aged/sick persons
or those recovering from illness, an accident, or childbirth. The core and primary service
is critical to the semi
and non-ambulant patients recuperating at home. In view of the perennial shortage of
hospital beds, patients are
discharged by the hospitals as soon as the medical conditions permit, but they will still
need home nursing.
The Office at SYD receives at least 10 enquiries per day for availing the services of home
nursing. Although initially
SYD undertook the task of placing the trained Home Nurses with families, having helped more
than 1000 families in Goa and elsewhere,
this service has since been discontinued as the trained girls get lucrative employment in
hospitals and nursing homes.
