We continue to care the health of Tsotsil Children

By Leticia Aguilar | Project Leader

Sanando Heridas works for the health of communities in the Tsotsil region of Los Altos in Chiapas, this project supports the health of children who do not have public health services and are in a state of vulnerability.

From January to September of this year we have treated 385 children, providing 653 medical consultations with a total of 1,397 diagnoses including treatment and medications in nine locations in four municipalities. 54% consultations have been provided to girls and 46% to boys, aged 0 to 12 years.

The percentage of consultations provided in Tsotsil to children is 26% in relation to the entire population we serve.

We also found that the most common consultation diagnoses that occur in the area are: Respiratory infections 29%, gastrointestinal infections 10%, Chronic malnutrition 15%.

Among the diagnoses that have been increasing are diseases of emotional origin at 7%, so next year attention to mental health will increase within our program.

We are also incredibly happy because, this October we inaugurated our dental care office, which will be extremely useful to continue strengthening the health of children who live in the region of care.

With the support of your donation, the participation of GlobalGiving and other strategic allies, we can continue to care for the health of Tsotsil children.

Thank you so much.

Encontramos también que los diagnósticos por consulta más comunes que se presentan en la zona son: Infecciones respiratorias 29%, infecciones gastrointestinales10%, Desnutrición crónica 15%.

Dentro de los diagnósticos que han ido en aumento se encuentran las enfermedades de origen emocional en un 7%, por lo que el año que viene se incrementará dentro de nuestro programa, la atención a la salud mental.

Estamos muy contentos también ya que, en este mes de octubre, inauguramos nuestro consultorio de atención odontológica que será de gran utilidad para seguir fortaleciendo la salud de niños que habitan la región de atención.

Con el apoyo de tu donativo, la participación de GlobalGiving y otros aliados estratégicos es que podemos seguir cuidando la salud de los niños tsotsiles.

Muchas gracias.
