Health on wheels - Mobile health camp for poor

With the advent of Winter, the health scenario is changing in the Himalayan Doors of forest infested Alipurduar district of West Bengal, India. So do the apprehensions of people more specifically in the hard-to-reach areas where the populace either entirely or majorly are deprived of basic amenities to live including the Health Care support.   However, we continued our Health Services with our Mobile Medical Unit in the hard-to-reach areas of forest infested Birpara- Madarihat block of Alipurduar district maintaining all directives issued by Govt. of India as well as Government of West Bengal. Social distancing and other pertinent rules of personal protection including Face Shield, Hand Gloves , Checking Temperature with Forehead Thermometer all were followed to avoid unwanted contamination of the fast spreading Coronavirus.

We are deeply indebted to National Health Mission (NHM), Government of India and Health Department- Govt. of West Bengal to retain the consortium in these noble essential efforts with facilities like free doctor’s consultation, medication, counselling, pathological diagnostic cares, reference for further treatments, arrangement to send critical cases to better health institutions, reference, referral cases to the govt. hospitals etc.

The hard to reach now closed 6 closed tea garden areas:

1. Dhumchipara
2. Hantapara
3. Garganda
4. Birpara  
5. Dimdima and
6. Tulsipara  

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. The commonly seen health issues in these areas are Cold, Fever, Gynaecological Problems, Hypertension, Anaemia etc. From the remotest corners of these areas ailing people thus avail these services to their close proximity.

Special care services of pregnant mothers through different kinds of tests, like-HIV, Haemoglobin, Blood group etc. and providing medicines following the doctor’s advices continued to be catered. Health issues related to increasing age and/or adolescence are also treated.

In the period during August’21– November’22, we organized 103 such Medical Camps and served 6342 Patients by experienced Doctors. Around 1644 Diagnostic tests were made. 87 Patients are sent to Govt. Hospitals as referral cases which cannot be addressed in the Camps.

We will come back again shortly with reports of our coming days Medical endeavours.

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 will be continued and encourage us reaching out more un-reached people who are still deprived of the basic and essentially required services of Health. 

Please keep on communicating all your friends and acquaintance for extending their support and join our hands in the initiative which needed to be continued for the most misfortune ailing people in remote Alipurduar, West Bengal, India.
