GRAM SEVA TRUST - Annual Report 2009-2010

Preface Gram Seva Trust has been dedicated to providing health care and development in and around rural area of Kharel in South Gujarat since its inception in 1994. Although the entry point was to provide quality health care at an affordable cost to the rural poor of the area, it was imperative to get involved with other concerns of the community well-being like malnutrition, plight of women and children, poverty and illiteracy. The inter-linkages between poverty and disease, between illiteracy and backwardness are well known and can not be ignored. It is meaningless to talk of good health care without ameliorating the adverse conditions that these people live with. While tackling malnutrition amongst pre-school children was our major initial project in the community, subsequent years saw other projects targeted towards community development focusing on mother and child health, women’s economic activities, adolescent girls and boys’ health, de-addictions and education. Projects like SNGO, Child Nutrition etc. have given us the opportunity to co-ordinate and work with the Government setup. They have also helped in developing co-ordination and understanding not only between the hospital care and the community but also between the two arms of staff, those working in the hospital and those working actively in the field. Women have emerged in the forefront of all community related projects; be it income generating schemes, health education or formal school education. GST has encouraged women in taking a leadership role. Toilet project this year was on demand by the women from Self Help Groups and has been a new learning experience for us. Mahatma Gandhi emphasized village development as central to national progress and prosperity. In the current times, Mohamed Yunus of Bangladesh revolutionized women empowerment in developing nations through Grameen Bank concept of micro-saving and micro-credit schemes. We too believe that women can lift the entire community to a different level, with improved standard of living, through education and financial emancipation and have approached rural development by similar interventions. We always believed in transparency and social accountability in voluntary sector. This year, the organisation is accredited by Credibility Alliance (C.A.) for minimum norms. This gives more credibility to the organisation and makes us proud. All through its inception we have received tremendous love and trust of our many friends from home and abroad; whatever we have achieved so far is largely due to your unstinting support and generous donations. Your commitment to the betterment of health and living of the rural poor has given us many excellent opportunities. We remain grateful to all of you and our Trustees for the continued support. We seek your blessings as we continue the journey ahead.

2 Hospital Services GRAM SEVA TRUST - Annual Report 2009-2010 experience in building these toilets. There were innumerable problems in procuring and transporting of materials, training the workers and then retaining those trained as quite a few were alcoholics and irregular with frequent absenteeism. The search for a reliable contractor who could ensure good quality work was also an uphill task. Besides, we had to provide storage, transport and residential facilities along with supervision and control, all areas outside our normal working experience. We deeply appreciate the patience and support provided by officials of HFHI. Some interesting feedbacks from the community The Kharel Hospital is a 50 bed facility with all basic specialties.

Multiparameter monitors, Defibrillator, Ventilator, Fetal monitor, Pulse Oximeter, neonate resuscitation trolley are also provided for. Special services available at the Kharel hospital include treatment and management of sickle cell anemia, snake bite and tuberculosis. We have observed progressive increase in the number of patients coming to GST for snake bite. Although the number of cases with poisonous snake bites remains more or less same, the community awareness has increased by continued health education programs by our field workers. Patients of snake bite now come to Kharel hospital instead of going to traditional healers thus saving of precious time in cases of snake bite by Bal-Sakha scheme similarly aims to provide free poisonous snakes. Time is of essence in such cases treatment to the neonates. There is a high incidence Case Study Pravinaben Mistry lived with her 4 year old daughter at the village of Kundi taluka Palsana district Surat. One night she was bitten by a snake while she was asleep. An alarmed Pravina woke her neighbours up who killed the snake. When Pravina started developing symptoms of snake poisoning she was shifted to a nearby hospital where she was put on antisnake venom and other medications. Yet her health deteriorated and she was referred to a higher centre. The scared relatives took her to a traditional healer instead. Precious time was wasted in the mumbo jumbo and Pravina’s condition worsened. One of the relatives contacted Prahari Charitable Trust that works for the conservation of nature. They advised the relatives to shift her to Kharel. Thus Pravina was brought to Gram Seva Trust hospital at 9 o’clock at night in a very serious condition. Twenty four hours of intensive care were required to revive her. After lot of efforts she got a new life and her relatives got their loved one back. Though, the story does not end here. We are forced to think, when will our society be rid of superstitions and mis-beliefs? There is a great need to imbibe rational, scientific thinking in our children for a better future. 4 Free Antenatal Care Clinics GRAM SEVA TRUST - Annual Report 2009-2010 of low birth weight babies in the villages. Also the statistics suggest that nearly one third deaths of all infant mortality are within one month after birth.

Patients suffering Two antenatal clinics per week have been running from tuberculosis are also screened for HIV since there for several years where poor expectant mothers are is an increased chance of HIV patients contracting TB seen free of charge through out their pregnancy. This activity was started as there is still a very high incidence of maternal deaths during child birth in India. This is mainly due to poor or no care during pregnancy resulting in several complications that go unnoticed putting both mother and child at risk. Besides routine check-up, the women are given iron, calcium, tetanus vaccination, and laboratory investigations. Sonography is done every Tuesday afternoon to monitor the progress of pregnancy and timely detection of any complications in mother or baby. These women are also followed up in the village

Case Study Ritaben (name changed), 25 years of age delivered a full term stillborn at one of the Government hospital. She developed severe breathlessness after delivery and was immediately transferred to Kharel hospital. She had very fast heart rate and could not lie down because of difficulty in breathing. Her chest was full of water in the lungs (pulmonary edema) and as a result her oxygen saturation had dropped to 60%. She was diagnosed to have rheumatic heart disease (mitral stenosis) with acute left heart failure. Ritaben was put on artificial ventilatory support and given necessary medical treatment. Fortunately she responded to the timely treatment and was saved. She has been advised further investigations and treatment for heart valve disease before another pregnancy puts her life at risk again.

Case Study Manjuben (name changed), 20 years old woman was brought to Kharel hospital at night around 10 p.m. The relatives accompanying her gave history of sudden onset of cough and breathlessness at home after taking some cough syrup. Manjuben was nearly full term and had been coming regularly for antenatal check ups. On clinical examination, she was having very fast heart rate, was breathless and there was frothing from nose and mouth. Further examination of her eyes showed pin point pupils suggestive of pesticide poisoning. Her oxygen saturation was very low. Even as the treatment was instituted, she suffered a cardiac arrest (no heart beat). She was resuscitated with cardiac massage and kept on ventilator. She gradually responded to treatment and could be weaned off life support measures. Though Manjuben herself could be saved by inten- sive treatment, her critical condition resulted in loss of full tern baby. because of reduced resistance to infections.

7 GRAM SEVA TRUST - Annual Report 2009-2010 Child Health and Nutrition Project

Case Study Sita Rajesh Halpati (Name changed), 20 years of age, was expecting her second child. Rajesh, her husband, was unemployed and an alcoholic. He would often fight with Sita and often beat her in an inebriated state accusing her of infidelity. Sita was fed up and came away to stay at her mother’s place where she delivered a baby boy. The baby was diagnosed to have a swelling in the kidney (Hydronephrosis) and was advised surgery at specialty hospital in Ahmedabad. Her widowed mother was too poor to help the daughter. Rajesh on the other hand suspected that the baby was not his and took no responsibility. The GST health workers brought the matter to GST and family members were counselled to accompany her and the baby. The child was almost two and half years old by this time and disease was fairly advanced. GST decided to support Sita by paying for surgery of her child at near by Surat rather than send her for free surgery at Ahmedabad. Her child, Srujesh, was operated at Surat hospital and is doing well. Sita’s story high lights the utterly hopeless complexity of poverty, alcoholism, ignorance, difficulties in access- ing free healthcare facilities, and deteriorating family support systems.

We have been able to reduce total malnutrition amongst these most vulnerable children. by 10%. Though the incidence of severe and moderate malnutrition has come down significantly, a majority (about 40%) of children are in grade I (Mild) malnutrition. Children from migrant families are still seen to have severe malnutrition. Pockets of concern also remain in Dhanori and Gandeva blocks where the nutritional status of children is not to our satisfaction. More emphasis is now being given to good weaning practices by constant education of stake-holders. Home visits by health workers, supervisors, interns and doctors to give advice on weaning and nutritional advice.
