Parkinson patients support organization –Ethiopia works to provide all round support for Parkinson patient. After successful accomplished the 2018 walk we start construct a raised toilet. This help’s patients from leg pain, stand before finish defection, bad smell, reduce care giver workload and reduce severity of constipation. Constipation forces a person to stay in toilet for longer time. If the toilet is a pit (ground hole) it is not convenient to sit long time. this aggravates the problem of constipation ; thus PPSO-E construct a raised toilet for those Parkinson patients who used a pit or ground hole toilet.
This is a story of Ato Assafa. He said constipation was his major problem. Before he used a pit latrine When sits to defect pain started in his legs. he can’t stay longer in sitting position. He stand and after few seconds he sit again. He did the same thing over and over. finally he stop before finish and this increase his constipation. After getting the modern toilet however, he can sit longer until he finished and his problem reduced to manageable condition.
