Sabuj Sangha with strong determination continues reaching out the unserved with one of the essential human need - Health Services. The services that the organisation started since 2017 thus continued to be an essential area of reliability for the disadvantaged below poverty line (BPL) community in deep remote Alipurduar Tea Gardens in Madarihat Block at the border of Bhutan. We are deeply thankful to National Health Mission for giving us the opportunity to work hands in hand to serve the less fortunate people of the remotely located now closed Tea Garden Areas of remote Alipurduar district of West Bengal namely:
1) Dhumsipara Tea Garden
2) Hantapara Tea Garden
3) Garganda Tea Garden
4) Birpara Tea Garden
5) Dimdima Tea Garden and
6) Tulsipara Tea Garden
The commonly seen health issues in these areas are Cold, Fever, Gynaecological Problems, Hypertension, Anaemia etc. Patients from the remotest corners of these areas can avail General health checkups, counseling, pathological diagnosis, reference and arrangement to send critical cases to better health institutions etc. services. Following doctor’s advice we also provided some free medicine to the patients. A noticeable number of reproductive cases are enrolled and further referred every month. Along with general health issues, problems related to increasing age and/or adolescence are also treated. We continued 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.
In May, 2019 we were blessed to provide Health Care Services for altogether 2194 patients and 191 Diagnostics Tests through 26 Medical Camps. Out of this, 2096 are cases of Reproductive Health.
During June’19 we organized 23 Medical Camps in the 6 mentioned Tea Garden Areas and could serve 2141 Patients by experienced Doctors. Out of which 2081 patients are cases of Reproductive Health. Around 211 Diagnostic tests were made in June’19.
