Hepatitis Free Community Project Rashidabad

Reporting Period - April 2021 - June 2021 

Summary:

The current covid 19 situation has not only turned around economic conditions but created an Impact on Human Lives as well. The Health Foundation is the only CSO which is working directly with the community and in the community. The biggest challenge is hat now the people are reluctant for vaccination, testing and treatment due to different myths related to covid and in the current scenario people are scared and the main reason behind this is that they are not educated.  

We are working in Rashidabad since 2016 and the beautiful place of Rashidabad is built by Rashid Welfare Organization (RWO) situated on the Hyderabad-Mirpurkhs road near Tando Allahyar, over 86 acres of land. 

We started working with limited resource in UC Dhingano Bozdar and by the Grace of GOD we covered a total population of 36,000. Socio-economic status: lower income group.

Project Overview:

The Health Foundation with this project would be taking a step up the ladder towards its goal in making a significant difference in decreasing the prevalence of Hepatitis B/C. It envisions a community based intervention, linked to a Hepatitis centre at Rashidabad, which would carry out this mission for a preselected population, through its well run and established programs integrated at one point, linking up the community and the services of the THF Hepatitis Centre. The beneficiaries in this case would be the community of villages in UC where Rashidabad project exists

Objective:

The Health Foundtion provide free of cost services to the non affording patients. The Services include Hep B vaccination, Community Sesitization, Free Labs test + PCR and Hep B & Hep C medicine.

1. Providing Awareness to 90% population

3. To "Find the Missing Millions" via screening above 17 yrs of age

Initiative:

  • In the current covid 19 situation, The Health Foundation played its part actively and we dispensed the medicine to non-affording Hep C Patients in the community at thier doorstep 

Project Issues:

  • Treatment and Laboratory Tests costs are on the higher side so regular support is required in order to provide free of cost treatment to the non-affording patients
