The health services of Sabuj Sangha through the outreach health camps to the disadvantaged Below Poverty Line (BPL) community of the closed tea garden areas continued in consorted efforts with National Health Mission (NHM), Health Department- Govt. of West Bengal in remote forested Alipurduar at the Himalayan foothills. The outreach health camps facilitate free doctor’s consultation, medication, counseling, pathological diagnostic cares, reference for further treatments and. arrangement to send critical cases to better health institutions etc. services.
Following are 6 closed tea garden areas where the outreach camps are organized.
Commonly seen health issues in these areas are Cold, Fever, Gynaecological Problems, Hypertension, Anaemia etc. Patients from the remotest corners of these areas thus availing General health checkups, counseling, pathological diagnosis, reference and arrangements for sending referral cases to the govt. hospitals.
We continued special care services of pregnant mothers through different kinds of tests, like-HIV, Haemoglobin, Blood group etc. and by providing medicines following the doctor’s advices.
Along with general health issues, problems related to increasing age and/or adolescence are also treated. We continue to organize multiple medical camps at each of the locations so that all patients can be taken into complete health care observation and required follow ups.
During December’19 we organized 26 such Medical Camps and served 2402 Patients by experienced Doctors. Around 263 Diagnostic tests were made in the month of December’19, 2019. 55 Patients are sent to Govt. Hospitals as referral cases which cannot be addressed in the Camps.
We are greatly indebted to those who continued to support us in the noble initiative to reach out and serve the earlier unreached people.
We hope that this support would be continued for reaching out more un-reached people who are still deprived of the basic services of Health required essentially.
Please keep on communicate your all friends and acquaintance for extending their support and join us in the initiative which needed to be continued.
