Primary health care activity was stirred around well developed design, covering mainly three components: -
- clinic-based activity i.e. immunisation, qualified consultation, essential drug supply and ante-natal care
- home visit by health workers
- training of traditional birth attendants (TBA’s) specifically and more general health awareness training of women from the community.
Many patients have attended our satellite clinics for treatment. At the same time, Community Health Workers in urban areas have made a numbers of visits to DSK’s member borrowers. Apart from that, disease prevalence rate shows the following tendencies: - highest number of patients was accounted for ARI followed by other illnesses. Community participation in DSK’s health program areas has reached a level of 57%. DSK could cover more than fifty seven percent of operational expenditure for health from the contribution of its member borrowers. Rest of the expenditure was borne from the income of the organization. This is one of the creative programs, which is being experimented by the organization, and has reached certain level of success.
