Tribal families living in interior forest habitations of Bhadradri Kothagudem lack access to basic healthcare services. Rural Hope Foundation has taken up the following initiatives to support them:
Training a group of 60 community heath workers every month so that they can provide necessary health care services to tribal people in 30 hamlets. Two health workers support each tribal hamlet. Every month, they are trained for 2 days to teach them various aspects of basic health care, including how to use all the tools in the health kit. These kits provide vital Healthcare services to tribal families in interior forest habitations at Bhadradri Kothagudem. Each kit contains BP apparatus, stethoscope, digital thermometer, fetal doppler, glucometer, pulse oximeter, weighing machine, Himoglobin meter..etc. Using these kits, trained health workers are providing maternal and child care services to pregnant women including antenatal care, postnatal care and safe deliveries. General healthcare services are provided to seniors as well with this kit. These kits are saving lives. |
