1) All most of the children suffers from Protein Energy Malnutrition and one of the major symptoms includes potbellies and flaky hair.
2) Around 15 children were diagnosed with Anaemia.
3) Most of the children have worms and medicines would be given for the same.
4) 1 child was diagnosed with double squint and will require proper ophthalmic treatment
5) 1 child was diagnosed with ear problem and will be given ear drops for the same.
6) Few children have vitamin deficiencies and would require Vitamin Supplements.
7) 3 children were diagnosed with Rickets
- A detail analysis will be done by the doctor again next week and as per the requirements medicines will be given to the children.
- It was observed that most of the children are malnourished and thus a nutrition program was worked out which will be implemented from the next week onwards.
- Nutrition Program will be managed by Preeti and Vipra. They both will consult the doctor and will come up with a weekly chart of food items to be distributed
One of the major observation was that the kids have not been vaccinated ever and thus we plan to get them vaccinated in a near by hospital.
Also, we plan to distribute sweaters to the children as they lack proper clothing so please ask your Friends and relatives to please donate warm clothes for the same.
We plan to have a similar health check up again in April. Lets all work towards eradicating the current problems by then.
I would suggest we also make their parents aware about health and hygiene ( Child development team can take up this along with Community Connect Volunteers).
Cheers!!
