NUTRITION Where There Is No Doctor 2010 How many mothers breast feed their babies? For how long? Are these babies healthier than those who are not breast fed? Why? What are the main foods people eat? Where do they come from? Do people make good use of all foods available? How many children are underweight (p. 109) or show signs of poor nutrition? How much do parents and school children know about nutritional needs? How many people smoke a lot? How many drink alcoholic or soft drinks very often? What effect does this have on their own and their families’ health? (See p. 148 to 150.) LAND AND FOOD Does the land provide enough food for each family? How long will it continue to produce enough food if families keep growing? How is farm land distributed? How many people own their land? What efforts are being made to help the land produce more? How are crops and food stored? Is there much damage or loss? Why? HEALING, HEALTH What role do local midwives and healers play in health care? What traditional ways of healing and medicines are used? Which are of greatest value? Are any harmful or dangerous? What health services are nearby? How good are they? What do they cost? How much are they used? How many children have been vaccinated? Against what sicknesses? What other preventive measures are being taken? What others might be taken? How important are they? SELF-HELP What are the most important things that affect your people’s health and well-being—now and in the future? How many of their common health problems can people care for themselves? How much must they rely on outside help and medication? Are people interested in finding ways of making self-care safer, more effective and more complete? Why? How can they learn more? What stands in the way? What are the rights of rich people? Of poor people? Of men? Of women? Of children? How is each of these groups treated? Why? Is this fair? What needs to be changed? By whom? How? Do people work together to meet common needs? Do they share or help each other when needs are great? What can be done to make your village a better, healthier place to live? Where might you and your people begin? w11
Where There Is No Doctor 2010 USING LOCAL RESOURCES TO MEET NEEDS How you deal with a problem will depend upon what resources are available. Some activities require outside resources (materials, money, or people from somewhere else). For example, a vaccination program is possible only if vaccines are brought in—often from another country. Other activities can be carried out completely with local resources. A family or a group of neighbors can fence off a water hole or build simple latrines using materials close at hand. Some outside resources, such as vaccines and a few important medicines, can make a big difference in people’s health. You should do your best to get them. But as a general rule, it is in the best interest of your people to Use local resources whenever possible. The more you and your people can do for yourselves, and the less you have to depend on outside assistance and supplies, the healthier and stronger your community will become. Not only can you count on local resources to be on hand when you need them, but often they do the best job at the lowest cost. For example, if you can encourage mothers to breast feed their babies, this will build self-reliance through a top quality local resource— breast milk! It will also prevent needless sickness and death of many babies. In your health work always remember: Encourage people to make the most of local resources. BREAST MILK—A TOP QUALITY LOCAL RESOURCE—BETTER THAN ANYTHING MONEY CAN BUY! The most valuable resource for the health of the people is the people themselves. w12
