Medical assistance
The residents of Bhumesthan are very poor. Since the nearest hospital is about a seven-hour walk away, these people rarely see a doctor. Our goal is to support the population until the government provides better medical care.
If a resident of Bhumesthan reports an emergency or a need for treatment, the association the costs.
We will briefly report on each instance of support in the section "The Stories Behind the Project".
Project Information
We receive very few requests for medical assistance. When we do inquire, we are told that there have been no emergencies and that the village community has been able to organize itself. It's certainly reassuring for us to see that we are not being taken advantage of. However, we will continue to offer our services to the residents of Bhumesthan and their acquaintances, as we know how difficult and, above all, expensive it is to see a good doctor there.
During our visits to Bhumesthan, we always bring around 10 medicine bags.
These contain, among other things, Voltaren gel, painkillers, bandages, and fever reducers for babies...
