Community health Programme in Sundarban

People in the remote Sunderbans are gradually restoring back to normalcy from the long enduring impacts of the two consecutive cyclones Amphan & Yaas amidst the Covid -19 pandemic. Yet their monotonous humdrum continues.

Sabuj Sangha’s dedicated and robust medical team also continued to extend the health services for them through their established ‘Rural Health Centre’ at remote Nandakumarpur village in Mathurapur II namely ‘Swarnalata Sabuj Seva Sadan’ and also with the Outreach Camps organized in the deeper hard to reach areas.

OPD clinics at ‘Swarnalata Sabuj Seva Sadan’ remained operational throughout and treatment including diagnostic services continued during April- November, 2021 too. Though amidst the increasing Covid -19 Cases and an uncanny people became little confined and not even availing health facilities.

Trend of diseases observed was common cough & cold, fever, eye related problem, gastroenteritis, hypertension, ache in bone joints, complications due to high sugar, respiratory trouble, abdominal pain, skin infection etc. Also as mentioned emergency care were also given. Altogether 2778 patients received health care facilities through OPD services during April- November, 2021 period.
