| Screening Examinations and Medical
Support |
 |
| ASSB helps preventing diseases
in educating and advising people, in performance of screenings
and in construction of pump wells and latrines. |
| The pump wells provide clean
drinking water and due to the latrines, ponds, fields and lanes
cease to be polluted. The equipment is given away to families
at an adequate contribution to the expenses. Medical advisors
visit villages and urban slums, regularly. In training courses,
they were taught how to perform preventive examinations for
pregnant women, for infants and for toddlers under the age of
five. When they complete medical records, they instruct mothers
on wholesome nutrition, hygiene and immunization schedules.

| Local Medical Support |
|
| In Naogaon, a health care
center was constructed enabling several local doctors to practice
and to perform minor surgical procedures. For people in such
a remote area, this is a great achievement. The nearest public
hospital is several bus hours far away. |
|
|
| Eye Camps |
|
| Upon regular eye camps,
ophtalmologists from Dinajpur operate on amaurotic people. .
By means of cataract operations and implantion of adequate lenses
they regain their vison. |
| Medical Teams from Germany |
|
| Once a year, a German team
of doctors arrives for a few weeks. They have to work nearly
day and night to be able to cope with the visitor traffic and
number of planned operations. |
| Wanted: Medical Personal |
|
| It's the ASSB's dream to
hire a male or female doctor for the Health Center, permanently
and to be able to pay her or him. A nurse with a diploma could
do basic and advanced training for health workers and nursing
assistants. We are afraid, that short term personnel could be
found, only, for this isolated area at the Indian border. |
