Medical help
The residents of Bhumesthan are very poor. Since the nearest hospital is around a seven-hour walk away, these people rarely go to a doctor. Our goal is to support the population until the government provides better medical care.
If a resident from Bhumesthan reports an emergency or necessary treatment to us, the association the costs.
We will briefly report on any support in the “The stories behind the project” section.
Project information
We hardly receive any requests for medical help. When we ask, we are told that there were no emergencies and that the village community was able to organize itself. Of course, it's nice for us to see that we're certainly not being taken advantage of. However, we continue to offer this service to the residents of Bhumesthan and their friends, because we know how difficult and, above all, expensive it is to go to a good doctor there.
When we visit Bhumesthan, we always bring around 10 medicine bags.
This includes, among other things, Voltaren gel, painkillers, bandages and fever-reducing medication for babies...
