HEALTH CAMP:
|
|
|
One of the first steps in creating and improving health is to understand the health environment of the area. Health indicators like life expectancy indicate the health environment. Infant, child and maternal mortality rates; incidence and cause of disease; incidence of malnutrition, environmental changes and their effects on health; belief, customs and indigenous practices that have health implications; availability of health services and their proximity, efficiency and effectiveness; demand of these services and community image of these services; availability of safe drinking water; health needs of the area; and resources availability and purchasing power of the people. It is a common knowledge that investment in one sector will give a strategic advantage to influencing to other variable. For example, improvements in mother’s health may have multiplier effects as there is inadequate availability of fund to work in all sectors related to health, ICDA could organize one mega health camp covering 10 Gram
Panchayats under Dhamnager Block of Bhadrak Dist. The health camp camp was intended to cover all mothers, women and children. We know for certain that the women belonging to rural areas are not vocal or frank to speak of their health problems to any one and in turn suffer mutely. About 3000 patients turned up for health check up. Free medicines distributed at the camp. |
