Inference
The status of the Health of
Periapatty Village Community is below average.
There are no doctors, Health
Workers or Volunteers; neither Government Health Institutions nor N.G.O. are
available in the Gram Panchayat.
The growth status of young children
below par, considering their low socio-economic condition, could prove a
high-risk expectation of life.
The proportion of people in need
of health care services is very high. There is a lack of guidance and awareness
of good healthcare in the vicinity.
Environmental condition is good,
though the temperature is uncomfortably warm throughout the year.
The attitude of people is good,
kind-hearted, simple and productive.
Initiative
We proposed a quarterly visit to
conduct an Outreach clinic in the panchayat covering 11 to 12 villages with an
approximate population of 12000.
Training village health volunteers
in survey and screening techniques, and providing common drugs and nutritional
supplements under supervision.
Train volunteers in educating
young children and providing educational materials, health check-ups and
nutrition.
Train volunteers in conducting
health education, awareness and managing healthcare events.
In summary, there is definite scope for improvement. Improving the socioeconomic status of individuals and communities is an important public health priority. We aim to develop programs that provide access to education, job training, and other resources that can help improve the health and well-being of people from low-income families.
