The determination of serving the unreached ailing people continues with the consorted efforts by the National Health Mission (NHM), Health Department- Govt. of West Bengal and Sabuj Sangha. We, the Sabuj Sangha team, are greatly indebted to Govt. for supporting us consistently in this continued endeavour.
The health services that is extended with outreach health camps to the earlier unreached disadvantaged Below Poverty Line (BPL) community of the closed tea garden areas in remote forested Alipurduar district at Himalayan foothills 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. The closed tea garden areas are:
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 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.
During October’19 we organized 27 such Medical Camps and could serve 4659 Patients by experienced Doctors. Out of which 2153 patients are cases of Reproductive Health.
Around 353 Diagnostic tests were made in September’19.
We are greatly indebted to those who continued to support us for the noble cause. We aspire that support would be continued for reaching out more un-reached people who are still deprived of the basic services of Health required essentially.
