Our Aims:-
 |
Training and placing tribal women as Health Auxiliaries in their local villages |
|
Training and employing tribal girls as Health Workers (nurses) in the Tribal Hospital |
What we have done so far :
|
Training a new batch of six nursing Health Workers (HWs) started in July 1997. It is a 1 1/2 years residential course. |
|
We started training a new batch of older women as Health Auxiliaries (HA) too in July 2000 to increase the coverage of our field health program from 18 to 21 villages (9500 population) and they come in twice a month for 2-day training sessions. All HAs come once a month for review and ongoing training. |
|
|
In 2004, we started the training of the fifth batch of Health Workers. While we had only 16 applicants for our first batch, we had more than 200 applicants for the final 6 to be selected for the fifth batch. |
|
Health Workers have had an opportunity to develop their clinical skills and now play a much greater part in both outpatient treatment and deliveries |
