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 Juli.
Dear Dr.Veronika,
How are you and how is your family?I hope you all are in good health. I am writing a monthly overview report for IRD july trip and activities. Our team had undergone the medical trip from 1st to 23rd July and provided our medical treatment to 11 villages.
The ICD result showed that there are 2414 of total patients. Among these patients, 69 are pregnant women taking AN care, a total 439 are boys and girls 1 to 14 years old who took medical check-ups and treatment while 32 in number are under one year old. We did screening test regarding comprehensive AN care to 54 pregnant women and a total of 513 patients did laboratory testing in this month. Moreover, we provided deworming to 200 patients in total.
During this month, our team provided the general medical treatment such as Idiopathic Anaemia, Urinary Tract Infection and Rheumatic Fever according to the signs and symptoms of the patients and the laboratory test results. Moreover, our team provided treatment for Non-Communicable Diseases such as Hypertension, Diabetes Mellitus, Ischemic Heart Disease, Vulvular Heart Disease, Myocardial infarct and Stroke. In this month, we had random blood sugar testing to 350 patients whose BMI were above 23. And we also did Electrocardiogram (ECG) testing to 250 new patients who were above 40 years old. Furthermore, patients with acute respiratory tract infection, asthma, Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD)and more came to our boat to get treatment.
Our dentist and our team provided dental treatment to 439 patients. We treated dental illness such as lip sores, oral candidiasis, aphthous ulcer, toothache due to dental caries, periodontitis, gingivitis, oral ulcer and tongue ulcer due to sharp edges of the teeth and growth in oral mucosa due to carcinoma, LC filling, GI filling, temporary filling, medicative filling, fissure sealing, incision and drainage, chamber opening, scaling, dental checkup and oral hygiene instructions.
IRD team worked hard for the trip and still hit the targets number in this month again. As the crisis and the political situation in Myanmar, most people in villages couldn’t effort for medicine. That’s why the villagers are waiting the IRD mobile boat and patients number increase more and more. On the other hand we also had to do strategic plan for that.
In conclusion, thanks again to Artemed foundation and all donors for your continuous support and love for Myanmar operation. I am very happy to be able to work together with trust until today. I will always remember and pray for you.
you.
Susu
Neuigkeiten aus dem Mutter-Kind-Zentrum, Bogale
Im Juli kamen 13 gesunde Babies in unserem MCC zur Welt und eine große Anzahl an Frauen kamen zur Vorsorge (161) bzw. zur Nachsorge (14). Es kamen außerdem 37 Kinder ins MCC um sich wegen verschiedener Probleme untersuchen zu lassen. Bei 16 wurde eine Unterernährung festgestellt und eine Therapie eingeleitet.
Schauen Sie doch auch mal in unsere Babygalerie: Hier werden alle Kinder, die im MCC geboren wurden, willkommen geheißen.
