congrats to sanjeev sir.
sanjeev sir has been doing this thing since some time now.
4 years back, sanjeev sir, who is also a rotarian, together with us rotaractors conducted door-to-door program for hypertension and diabetes screening in Dharan. we about 20 students went every saturday to dharan bazzar with height measuring stick, BP Mach., Blood glucose monitor ( we pricked almost everyone).. urine dipstick and all.. we had a form to be filled.. it worked both ways.. data collection for sir's research and also the screening for hypertension and diabetes...
After we went thru every house in dharan, the program doesnt run now.
Now we call it Kidney disease prevention program.. it runs daily, screeon ning and basic investigations are done free by the health volunteers (thanks to the MRs) and on saturdays we wake up at 6.. go to the different centers... where sir along with us do follow-ups... medicines are not free now.. but sir says that we will be able to provide them free if everything goes fine.
its fun working with sir. the respect we get is great... (and the food too!)
people also say that sanjeev sir is doing this for his research and to get fund.. yes, it is true... he will get fund too.. and his research will be appreciated.. but the primary goal to screen and treat initial stages of kidney diseases must not be ignored...
good going sir.. |
