Future Plan to Expand Healthcare Activities
- Improve and implement strategies to promote community health, personal hygiene, dental care, prevention of malaria by mosquito net, regular use of footwear, use of locally available nutritious foods, avoiding abuse of injections and IV treatment (in India it is a common practice to give IV fluid treatment in outpatient clinic), avoiding blind faith in local healers (Bhut-Bhuva), avoiding early age marriage (teenage marriage and pregnancies are common), etc.
- Put greater emphasis on addressing treatment for addictions like Gutka, smoking and alcohol with more effective strategies. Our current method of counseling is not effective, since only about 3% were able to quit the use of tobacco or alcohol on our advice.
- Switch paper based patient’s records to electronic medical records.
