Collaberation with Local Hospital

Dear Supporter,

Thank you very much for your kind support for Us. Our program is mainly Rural and Urban based. Our trained midwifes working their localities. Due to lacking of instrument we can not start our hospital properly with multiple department.So we have to search for runing hospital where proper treatment is available. For this we are trying to collaberated with two local hospital(Private) In our Habiganj. We propose them that untill starting our hospital we will refer our patient to that hospital. In our government  hospital they cannot afford such rush of patient. We are waiting for their  decision.

Thank's every body again.

Mid wife Training

Dear Supporter,

Our program for reducing the mother and child mortality rate is going  smoothly, we have already trained about 86 midwife on our rural areas which is started from may 2011. we hope we can trained 125 midwife with one year. They will help us in two ways. To make aware the poor people to hospital delivery and aware about the critical time on pregnancy termination. Midwife are rural poor women, we are trying to train up as best as poosible but they doing wrong in case of counting Blood pressure and temp recording. So we decide we will train them repeatedly for few week to make them more expart.

Thank you very much for your kind support.

Hope you will continue your kind support.

Mid wife Training

Dear Suporter,

Thank you very much for your continueous support for our mother and child health care program. we are still now continuing our midwife program in our rural areas successfully. Recently we are trying to start  orientation class of our rural midwifes, because on our follow up we see that when are refering the patient to our hospital they have done few mistakes. Such as Counting of Blood pressure, Pulse rate, Temperature recording. So we decide to start a orientation class for each batch. This problem is arise because maximum midwife are rural women they have no good idea on this chapter. We think that our orientation class may help them.

Thank you again.

With my respect and regards

Augenambulanz hat ihre Pforten geöffnet

Blindheit ist für Mütter und Kinder besonders schlimm, weil sie sich dann überhaupt nicht mehr selbst helfen können. Deshalb ist zur Ergänzung  http://www.betterplace.org/de/projects/5577-gisela-hospital-freundschaftsprojekt ins Leben gerufen worden. Bilder siehe dort ebenfalls.

Jetzt wollen wir beide Programme verbinden und in der Ambulanz eine Anlaufstelle etablieren, die den Blinden und Armen Licht und Hoffnung gibt.

Für die bisherige Unterstützung, mit der wir jetzt die Ambulanz provisorisch einrichten konnten, danken wir allen Spendern aus diesem und dem anderen Projekt ganz herzlich!

Es ist noch viel zu tun!

Bitte nehmt uns neben der großen anderen Not in der Welt wahr! Wir werden von Medien und großen Organisationen ganz vergessen!

Große Not durch derzeitige Streiksituation

Streik in Bangladesch macht Probleme vor Ort

Es ist während der Streiktage nicht möglich, unser regelmäßiges Besuchsprogramm durchzuführen. Die Ärzte müssen zuhause bleiben und im Notfall auf Abruf kommen. Aber die Straßen sind unsicher und die fernen Orte, die wir sonst als NGO besuchen, müssen einfach warten.

Dr. Akhter Udin wird dringend wieder erwartert, auch unsere Barfußhebammenausbildung leidet darunter.

Das Problem ist die massive Verteuerung für alles in der derzeitigen Umbruchsituation,  die auch uns zu schaffen macht. Daher bitte ich dringend um weitere Unterstützung unserer Pläne durch Ihre Spende.

Auch wenn die allgemeine Situation chaotisch, ist garantiert die direkte Beziehung zwischen deutschen Ärtzen, dem deutschen Blindenhilfswerk und Dr. Akhter Uddin vor Ort, dass das Geld nicht irgendwo verschwindet, sondern direkt dort ankommt.

Die letzten Bilder über die Ausbildung der Barfußhebammen vor Ort dokumentieren die Arbeit der letzten 3 Monate eindrücklich. Penible Abrechnungen dafür liegen vor.

Dr. Gisela Swoboda

Mid wife training is started

Die ersten Frauen, die diese Ausbildung erhalten sind hier auf den neuesten Bildern zu sehen!

Eine Chance für diese Frauen ebenso wie für die Bevölkerung in diesen abgelegenen Orten, mehr an  guter Hilfe zu bekommen.

Wir werden regelmäßig über den Fortschritt desProjektes berichten.

Für das Hospital warten wir noch auf den Startschuss durch das BMZ. Dann geht es auch hier los.

Ausbildung der Hebammen läuft an

Das Geld für den ersten Abschnitt der Hebammmenausbildung ist angekommen und das Projerkt beginnt!

Zu Bereitstellung der Rahmenbedingungen vor Ort wird von hier aus noch um weitere Unterstützung für den Einsatz von Materialien und Medikamenten sowie für die Entlohnung der Mitarbeiter gebeten.

Es ist Hilfe zur Selbsthilfe und unmiottelbre Hilfe von Mensch zu Mensch.

Ausbildung von Frauen zu Hebammen

Der Marie-Schlei-Verein in Hamburg unterstützt Frauen in der ganzen Welt, ein Ausbildsung zu erhalten, damit sie sich ihren Lebensunterhalt durch qualifizierte Arbeit selbst verdienen können.

Parallel zu unserem Projekt zur Veringerung der Mütter- und Kindersterblichkeit und dem geplanten Gisela Hospital in Habiganj haben sie jetzt eine Ausbildung von Frauen zu Hebammen genehmigt.

Die Ausbildung wird vom Marie-Schlei-Verein getragen, für Material und Schulungsräume müssen wir aufkommen.

Durch Unterstützung zur Anschaffung eines Konferenztisches und eines Laserdruckers würden sie uns enorm helfen.

Ein Projekt von Einheimischen für Einheimische braucht nur wenig Anschub und hat große Wirkung.

Heath Services- Difference between German and Bang

Hello

My dear supporter and well wisher,

I am working in Bochum an University link hospital for three months. Here I have seen two type of patient,one those who are private patient, they come to  hospital for  their treatment by their own expenses.Another type of patient those  who are under cover of insurence, they take their treatment according to their insurence law. All the expenses bear by the insurence company. Insurence company take money from patient on a monthly basis. But in Bangladesh all  treatment cost  bears by the patient. Every body knows that Bangladesh is one of the most densely populated areas. Government health service is not sufficient enough  for such huge population. Naturely maximum portion of population depended on private health services. In Bangladesh people have no health budget or have no health insurences  system for the people. So they have to bear their all heath care expenses from their own pocket. In this situtation middle class, poor and Ultra poor are suffer most. As because their income is very poor, they have no health budget. So when they go to the private hospital, they have bear the  all expenses of their tretment. In this situation their health care remain  uncare, because they have no money, they canot go to hospital as their will. Naturelly they depends on other type of old natural treatment , which is not scientific and not  medicolegal. As result complications are more, mortality and morbidity rate is more.Which is increasing with the increasing rate of population. Which alarming for our health sector also.

Hospital for Women and Child ,Habiganj, Bangladesh

Hello,

My Dear respected Supporter,

For your kind information, We are working in health sector in our areas for long times. Our areas is very much neglected due geographically and economically . one  part of our areas are hilly, very remote difficult to reach, lack of road comminucation another part are plain land.Half of the year this areas is submersed by the water, only communication is by boat. Population is about 1.7 million. male female ratio is almost same. Women are mostly unemployed and depend on men. Whole family is run under care of male member, so women are relatively uncare with their children.With this densely population there are few private hospitals are working here but lack of skill doctor, financial lackages and  instrumental deficiency they canot cover our health problem. Our maternal mortality rate is too high in comparisn to other part of our country.Due to our long experience on health sector we are now interested to establish a cheritable hospital in our areas.First of all we started our Hospital in a rented place. Hospital will be  multidisciplinery Which includes MCH(Mother &child health), Medicine, Surgery, Eye, ENT and Skin V.D.we have  already submitted our need in our profile for our hospital.I request every body to visit our profile for detail. I hope every supporter will help us.

Thanks to every body

Fellowship in Ophthalmology, Bochum, Germany.

Hello

My dear Supporter,

I am now in Langendreer, Bochum on fellowship training in Ophthalmology for three months. Here the hospital named is knappschaftskrankenhaus, it is a universitatsklinik hospital.Near about more then 100 years old. I am working under Prof .Dr.H.Burkhard Dick. Here I have seen that the Cataract surgery is one of the  most costly surgery with Lot valuable instruments are using. But in our country we have done this only 66 Euros per patient. This includes all the expenses Which includes operation cost, Medicine and Hospital cost. In Bangladesh the rate of cataract is 71.86%. Cataract  is a reversible blindness. If a cataract patient is done his operation on due time, he regain his vision near to normal. It is now very easly operation. the name of this operation is SICS(Small Incision Cataract Surgey).But there are other cataract operation which is  now running in all the big cities of the world, that is Phaco emulsification. It is abit costly operation.Our supporter will be happy enough that we are doing this SICS operation since 2000 for the poor people free of cost. I think it is very good opportunity to help the blind people to give light of his/her eyes tosee this beautiful & interesting world.In our country women are suffering most of this blindness. I have an humble request to my dearest supporter, if any one  is interested to help us to restore the vision of the poor people. either by  the  donating instruments and sending other help , please contact us.

Thank you all.

Greeting from Bochum.

Wish every body for a good Holiday.

Program in Shazir Bazar

On 15/04/2010, A rural Health program were held on  Shazir bazar, where 560 patient were seen , we have distributed some medicine  among the poor patient. This is one the most successfull program of this year.Area is very remote and people are  more poor. land of this areas are almost hilly place.

Health Program on Rural areas.

In Morakori Union,Distict Habiganj. On 11/03/2010, from 9 am to 2 pm , we have treated 250 patient of all age group specially women and children. We have given free treatment and free medicine.The areas is low land, people are depends on Agriculture and some are doing small business. Maximum people are very much poor. they are hand to mouth. Their profession is fishing, and day labour.  This area  is badly communicated to the upazilla town.No good road communication. Water and sanitation is so bad, that maximum people are suffering from Gastroenteritis.and diarrhoea.We attached few photos of our programs for further reference.

Need help for Program.

Now our weather is very fit for out reach health program but we cannot proceed further due to lack of financial support.we have to need at least 45 Euro's for each Program.At present in our country there are harvesting season, rural people are very much engaged in the paddy field, housewife are very busy  to collecting the paddy in there own houses.

Program on 30 December

Place is about 15 km from our office, Village -Poil, Upazilla- Habiganj. we have to walk about 2 km to reach that place.place  is a house of  an allied person he arrange this and gives  our team very cordially  reception  Total patient- 89. Maximum are women, child and Adolescences, We have cut off our pathological investigation on this program  due to lack of financial crises. Number of patient are less due to bed weather. on that day temperature of that areas was 10 degree Celsius. Rural people are seems to be hibernating. We have  start our program  on 10 am and close on 2pm.Normally we have to treat about 180 to 200 or above patient on each program. We have  to refer 3 pregnant women for delivery to our Hospital.  accordingly they attend our hospital. all of these three women are delivered three  healthy child normally, babies  and mothers are now healthy.A patient Named- Khaleda , age 22years, her Child is died during domiciliary delivery, now she came to us for some obstetrical complication(please see attached photo).Her Husband was act like noncooperative attitude in treatment during delivery, now she is crying foe her child after 9 months carrying, telling her whole story to our doctor.

Malnutrition in our District

The Actual cause of malnutrition of the children  in our areas are Poverty, Ignorance, Lack of breast feeding, Superstition, Dietery Habit, more depends on Artificial Food, Helminthesis etc. Recently on our program we add some anti helminthetic medicine to help to reduce the malnutrition some extend.Rural people agree with us that they are not aware of malnutrition. They said that it  need awareness program, because we have many natural resources such as mixture of rice, dal and vegetable, which are mixed and cook with some cooking ingredient to make it tasty for the children, locally they are called "Keechuri" which is very much nutritious food for the growing child and help to minimize malnutrition of the poor and as well as child from rich  family also.Malnutrition  of  the poor family's child are due to poverty but malnutrition from the rich family's child are due to ignorance.on our last program we have  to face many malnutrited children.

Situation Of our Program
