The
significance
of health in the overall sustainable development
can be looked at and understood in many ways. The
most important is individual's capacity and then
a community's capacity to transform physical and
mental well-being into economic productivity, growth
and sustainable development. However, achieving
this is not simple. Many causal factors affect people's
health and hence the process of sustainable development.
Safwco's Health Sector has embarked upon the mission
to highlight and work on issues related to children's
and women's health, environment, and health care
that play a significant role in affecting people's
socio economic life. Safwco has firm belief that
only healthy and educated communities can contribute
to the development and uplift of societies.
The
salient objectives of the program include:
Make people aware of health issues through health
education packages
Provide primary health care services in areas having
no health facility
Decrease MMR and IMR through safe reproductive health
care
Prepare village volunteers as paramedical force
Information dissemination through published material
and leaflets
The Health and Hygiene Program is advanced through
following tools: |
|
Health Awareness and Capacity Building |
| |
|
Health Services |
Along
with health and hygiene awareness and building capacity
of communities, it is essential that they should have
an easy access to necessary health services. Safwco,
in this context, provides them with the following
services through establishing community health centres
at cluster and village level. Medical camps are also
organized to provide immediate relief. The Community
Health Centers provide medical services, including
diagnosis of diseases through pathological tests,
medicines and consultancy etc. At these centres, especial
focus is laid on mothers in reproductive age.

women and children, against the infectious and fatal
diseases, various immunization vaccines are give
to them. These include TT Vaccine, Polio Vaccine
and Hepatitis B & C Vaccines etc.
Referral

The medico cases which cannot be dealt with at CHCs
are referred to Taluka and District Hospitals for
proper treatment, cure and medication.

communities especially mothers are educated in the
negative impact of rapid growing population and
