Jeden Monat schickt uns unsere Projektleiterin in Myanmar Su Myat Oo (genannt Su Su) eine Zusammenfassung der Aktivitäten bei den Irrawaddy River Doctors und im Mutter-Kind-Zentrum. Darüber hinaus gewährt sie uns Einsichten in die aktuelle Lage im politisch instabilen Myanmar und welche Auswirkungen dies auf die Menschen vor Ort hat.

Wir geben ihren eindrucksvollen Bericht im Original in Englischer Sprache wieder. Hier sind ihre Beobachtungen für den Monat Februar:

Dear Dr. Veronika,

I hope you are fine and healthy. I want to report that our February trip was finished safeldy. During this month, our team was able to provide the medical treatment for 14 villages and to visite to schools for health and dental education.

According to February trip schedule, our team worked for 22 days. In total 2084 patientes could be treated by the team (children and adults).  67 % of the patients came for general check-ups and 33 % due to dental problems. A total number of  p74regnancy women came to our boat for AN care check-up. We did laboratory test for 60 of them pregnant women. Additional 75 laboratory test were done for others reasons. During February 660 children under 15 years came for medical check-ups. They got medical treatment and including dental treatment. And the total number of children under one-year for medical treatment was 28. Total number of deworming pills distribution is 439.

During this trip our team continued to provide the medical treatment that coughing, respiratory infection, headache, Malaria, Dengue, Hepatitis, Syphilis, HIV, diabetes mellitus ,disease of the skin and subcutaneous tissue, and many more.

Concerning the dental treatment, we continued  to help patients suffering from dental caries, periodontitis, gingivitis, sometimes oral ulcer and tongue ulcer due to sharp edges of the teeth. For the Filling procedure, composite filling, glass ionomer filling as temporary and sometimes Zinc Oxide eugenol were used as medicated filling. We also  informed out patient about the correct brush teeth, and we support related medicine for some dental patients.

In this month, we got more patients than during the previous months because we visited one more village. Additionally we visited two schools for medical check-up, health and dental education. We also continued the distribution of toothbrush and toothpaste, mosquito repellent lotion and soaps, and deworming pills for the students.

We would like to thank Dr. Solveig and Mr. Ralf for visiting us in Myanmar. A special thanks goes again to Artemed Stiftung and Dr. Veronika for the support where we need it the most.We are totally aware of the fact that visiting Myanmar these days is realted to many comlications we appreciate it even more that they tried to come and visit us. That shows us how much you all love and care for us. All the staff was very happy to meet them again, even we only had little time. It was great that we could organize to mmidwives trainings (wir berichteten) at MCC and that Dr. Solveig shared her knowlegde about how to take care of new mothers and children and that she was able to do some workshope and trainings for all attendants. This training was an amazing experience for the young midwives and our staffs.
