Ans. To Ques.

1. – Yes the clinic has been started usually 30-35 patients in average/day are visiting the village 
clinic. It will take time to increase the average nos. as the same has not yet been propagated 
enormously & widely due to the non-availability of qualified doctors during these past days 
here.

? 4 days by Dr. A. Dutta & next 2 days by S. Mishra = Total 6 days are being covered ! The 
rest day is being prepared to be covered by a para medical volunteer, Mr. P. Giri, an Asstt. To 
the doctors.

2. No. Medical camp has been organised till date. Actually PSS Formation & other 
arrangements have been done carefully so as to promote the project-movement.

3. – A Revolving Medicine Bank (RMB) – Jeeban Daan has been set up initially with a 
provision of emergency medicines.

? Medicines of different groups like Norfloxacin , Cefoxcacillin, Paracitamol,Admendazol 
              etc. are being stored in the Revolving Medicine Bank(RMB)

4. – As we have decided primarily that the FHC will be given to our PSS member-families 
during the period of well-running of the clinic and ensuring our village-people (PSS family 
members) the basic healthcare advantage through the clinic. So, it is being planned to 
distribute the FHC very soon.

? there will be no compulsion/bindings to be enrolled into the PSS with FHCs (Family 
Healthcare Cards) rather it will be promoted as per interest of the PSS-beneficiary-families. 
But, we hope within a few months (2-3), the same process will be started to be continued.

? As per discussion with our PSS units in presence of Mr. K. Lahiri, a sum of Rs.290/-/year per 
PSS-family members member with FHC will be contributed to the project fund. But, it will 
be a very slow process…..!

5. – only two trainings for the VHWs have been organised recently. 

? Both they were of 3 days duration.

? Areas were covered during the trainings are (a) First Aid & Home Nursing, (b) Village-
Health-Worker & their duties-responsibilities, (c) How to communicate with the village PSS-
family-members (d) VHW-Healthcare kit demonstration. (e) On MAT (Motivation, 
Awareness & Training) efforts (f) Handling of FHC & respective members (g)Management 
of RMB & clinic. (h) Planning & Programming under community Healthcare Project (CHP) 
etc.

? Rests relating to basic health care approches like MCH care, RCH, Low-Cost Health care 
efforts, Training of village (TBA), Preventive issues etc. are being planned out soon.

6. – The survey took the details of Socio-Economic Status, Male-Female-Children ratio, 
children’s Mortality Rate & Birth Rate, usual diseases in the island areas, chronic diseases, 
Medicinal properties available in the Project-area, Healthcare Expenses from outward sources 
likie clinics/NHs at Raidighi/Kolkata…..etc.

? Out of 1000 PSS (in 5 villages) no. of Men 1,938, Women 1,824 Children 2,501 are being 
planned to be covered in the program.

? Children Vaccination Programs like Pulse Polio Immunization, Tripple Antigen, Busterdes 
are being conducted by us in close collaboration with nearest block PHC since 1999 & 
onwards.

       Yes, we have talked and the program is in the progress. We are trying to have much
        involvement of our nearest PHC Medical teams ….. alongwith the supply of some IEC 
        materials & Emergency Medicines….!
