Sabuj Sangha in consortium with National Health Mission (NHM) and Health Department- Govt. of West Bengal continued their consistent health outreach camps at the forest infested closed tea garden areas of Alipurduar district to the extremely hard to reach communities at Himalayan Doors in West Bengal, India. We are deeply indebted to National Health Mission (NHM) and Health Department- Govt. of West Bengal to retain the consortium in these noble essential efforts with facilities like free doctor’s consultation, medication, counseling, 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 are:
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.
During February, 2020 we organized 25 such Medical Camps and served 2469 Patients by experienced Doctors. Out of which there are 71 cases are of reproductive health. Around 550 Diagnostic tests were made in the month of February, 2020. 66 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 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.
