Fatma
 |
My
name is Fatma Ameir Hassan. I was born on 28/07/1988 as the daughter
of Safia and Ameir Hassan. I have 2 brothers and 3 sisters, and I
grew up in Jambiani village at the east coast of Unguja Island in
Zanzibar.
With
the support of Child Development Fund (CDF) I was studying Medical
Laboratory Science
at the College of Health Science Mbweni Zanzibar from September 2011
to September 2014. The yearly support of 1,000 Euro included the
total coverage of inscription, tuition and examination fees, the
costs of field studies, regular book allowances and the major part of
accommodation costs.
The
modules of my study were: Diagnostic Pathology, Laboratory Diagnostic
Cytology, Preparation of Laboratory Stains and Solution, Laboratory
Reagents and Culture Media Preparation, Preparation of Laboratory
Biological Product, and Laboratory Quality System Management.
Diagnostic
Pathology
contained seven Modules which are the basic of laboratory work:
Hematology, Parasitology, Microbiology, Entomology, Histology,
Chemistry, Blood transfusion. Laboratory
Diagnostic Cytology
is a single module but contains some topics of Histology.
Each
module had a Continuous Assessment (60%) and Semester Exams (20%)
which then were added with Field Studies (20%) to get the single mark
for the respective module. The last semester examinations started on
July 2014 and took three weeks to complete. Now, I am very happy to
have passed the Diploma with good results. Below you find some
pictures from the Diploma ceremony.
After
successfully finishing my studies I want to work as a Laboratory
Technician officer in Jambiani Health Unit to perform laboratory
investigations in Parasitology, Hematology, Bacteriology, Serology,
Blood Transfusion, Clinical Chemistry and Histopathology, collection
of blood from patients and proper preservation of specimens,
laboratory investigations and procedures. I will also be responsible
to ensure the laboratory is well kept and that the equipment and
reagents are in good working order. I hope my work will benefit
myself for getting knowledge and skill of health laboratory science,
and my family because I’m the one who has knowledge of health so
they get services very fast and easy. Finally, the people of Jambiani
and other areas also will benefit from the health services I will
provide.
Apart
from my profession, I am interested in participating in the Zanzibar
Malaria Control Program and in listening Radio about Islamic topics.
My role model is Mselem Bin Ally. He is an Islamic leader and a
person who is an example for me because of his awareness and respect
for each other, and because he is always saying the truth.
