PUBLIC HEALTH CARE CENTER (PHCC)-

SAPNA started a Public Health Care Centre (PHCC) on August 1, 2008 in the same premises. The part time clinic (8-12am) is looked after by a MBBS (MD) doctor Dr Bhagwan Singh and an experienced compounder Shri Vijay Singh. Medicines are dispensed free. The

patients are also counseled about further course of treatment. Such a facility also caters to the needs of the inmates of the Old Age Home.

• The number of patients examined monthly and cumulative total is highlighted below:

• A DOT centre was recently added to the PHCC to treat tuberculosis patients. 2 such patients are under treatment at the moment.

Mahila Salah & Suraksha Kendra (MSSK)-

1. Empowerment of women has been high on our agenda. Since 1st of December, 2008, SAPNA started looking after the affairs of the Mahila Salah & Suraksha Kendra (MSSK) located atAn MOU was signed between Vishakha, a jaipur based NGO, which was earlier looking after this centre, and SAPNA.

2. The MSSK isa redressal centre for womenrun with the collaboration of Rajasthan Police and women’s organizations and consists of the setting up of a holistic redressal centre at a Mahila Thana (women’s police station).  It was felt that cases of violence against women (VAW) not only needed multiple interventions but a shift in approach, which would give the women the right to make an informed choice when subjected to violence.  The objectives set forth for the MSSK are as follows: -

Providing support to women facing violence by way of:

• Assisting them to negotiate their way through the Criminal Justice System,
• Settling disputes through alternative dispute resolution mechanisms,
• Providing rehabilitation to women survivors of violence &
• Providing medical aid, legal aid, psycho-social support, shelter, economic rehabilitation and any other relief required.

3. The concept underlying the centre is that of providing a comprehensive strategy of redressal for women who come to the centre, for support, can seek diverse help in one place itself. The single window assistance can range from mediation, to legal aid, to intervention within the police system and the judiciary, to economic rehabilitation, to trauma counseling, to shelter and care and economic. Women have easy accessibility to the centre as it is located in a women’s police station.

4. The centre functions through the services of a Coordinator Ms. Rekha Bedi, two full time paid social workers Ms. Rashmi Vasishta & Ms. Sarita and two police officers, Constable Jitendra Choudhary and Lady Constable Sumitra attached from the Mahila Police Station, Alwar. Representatives of women’s organizations and other civil society representatives have been requested to come on a voluntary basis regularly.  Regular service of a lawyer, a psychologist and a gynecologist will also be provided at the centre. The centre is in the process of setting up referral services with other organizations in order to provide effective relief to the women seeking assistance from it.

5. An overview of the activities at the MSSK is highlighted below:-

SAPNA envisages making the MSSK into a model center in the country for the redressal of grievances of women facing violence.

OUTREACH HEALTH PROGRAMME-

We have complimented the effort of the PHCC by providing health cover through the Outreach Health Programme to the poor and the needy who are unable to access health centers. An Eye Camp is organized on every second Friday of the month by the VENU RESEARCH AND EYE INSTITUTE, SHEIKH SARAI, NEW  DELHI.

1.  Eleven eye Camps were organized during the year. A total of 3326 OPD and 392 cataract surgeries/IPD were conducted by the hospital at Delhi. Medicines and spectacles are dispensed free during the camp. An overview of the Eye camps held in Alwar is appended in the end.

2.  Two eye camps at Barod were sponsored by the Seth Makhan Lal Trust, Alwar. One camp was sponsored by Shri Manoj Chachan, Director Lords International, Alwar. Shri Chachan also sponsors the transport for carrying the patients from the camp site to Venu Eye Hospital, Delhi and back.

3. SAPNA through this noble endeavor has joined the National Blindness Control Programme (NBCP) and aspires to make Alwar district cataract free.

4.   SAPNA also organized a Deafness Camp in Dec. 2008. Dr Someshwar Singh, a cochlear transplant surgeon with Max Hospital, New Delhi and his team held a camp at Vijay Mandir and examined more than 202 patients from the nearby areas. The following 3 young children have been identified for cochlear transplant:

SAPNA has taken up the case of Master Aditya, aged 4 years for cochlear transplant which would cost around Rs. 5 lacs. The said amount has to be mobilized.

5. The overwhelming response in these medical camps has highlighted the dire need of health care in rural India. SAPNA plans to have more camps covering various other disciplines of health relating to cardio logical, gynecological and pediatric super specialties.
