Dear Friends,
Greetings from Himalayas! We are happy to report 3 months of work of our community health project involving extension to 35 more villages in the Okhalkanda Block of Nainital District. A new office has been set up in Patlot and 12 new health supervisors hired. Concomitantly, we also launched the Mobile Health Clinic in July, a joint venture with the Government of Uttarakhand. This has brought succor to 500-600 additional patients in extremely remote villages. The mobile clinic is equipped with a lab, and X-Ray machine. We await bureaucratic clearance for use of the ultrasound machine, also part of the mobile clinic.
Three of our smokeless chullah (improved cookstove) masons went to ARTI (Appropriate Rural Technology Institute), Pune for an exposure and training on different technologies for cooking and heating for rural areas.
We hope you find the attached report informative. Should you have any questions at all please do not hesitate to contact me (sushil@aarohi.org).
Happy Reading!
With warmest regards,
Dr Sushil Sharma
