What an amazing month we had at the Shravan Health Center in the Bhaskar Nagar section of the Kalva Slums in Thane, India!
• 609 patients were treated by the good doctors and nurses of Doctors for You in September '15 [Thank you doctors Kamraan, Gill, and Amit!]
• Patients included 89 babies and toddlers, 97 children between 5-12 years of age, 407 children
above 12 years of age, women and men and 16 senior citizens.
• Illnesses treated included: Fever, respiratory infections, breathing problems, and skin infections (Scabies, fungal infections etc)
• Ms Anju Mishra, a local resident, serving as the center's Community Health Educator, is launching an outreach program to mobilize the community in accessing quality health care from the Shravan Health Center.
• SHC's in-house pharmacist Mr Price Ja has been busy distributing medicines and coordinating medical treatments at SHC.
• The Center's hygiene partner, Sundara, has distributed hundreds of bars of quality recycled bars of soap and is launching a community run hygiene awareness class in the coming months.
Certainly there is a lot more work to be done but this is an incredible start! We are grateful for SHC's activity and professionalism and seeing the community based medical clinic really having a positive impact on the overall health of the residents of the slums!
