DOT Centre
In 2010 - 2011, 23 TB patients were provided with
medical treatment, home visits and regular
guidance about their course of treatment.
The treatment of 17 patients was successfully
completed.
There were 12 TB awareness camps conducted in
the community to sensitize the community
about the symptoms and treatment of TB,
duration of treatment, treatment regime and result
of treatment. Approximately 275 people
participated in the TB awareness camps.
At the age of 52, Shankar recalls the day when he left his village in Buxar
district of Bihar and reached Delhi in 1977; he was only 18 and slept on the
pavement and park in Nizamuddin. Since then, he earns his livelihood as a
daily wage labourer. Gradually he lost his vision and was unable to move or
walk without someone's support. He managed to find The Hope Project and
sought assistance. Fortunately, the Hope Project has a weekly eye clinic run by
doctors from Delhi's premier hospital – the All India Institute of Medical
Sciences (AIIMS). The health staff of The Hope Project helped him to get his
eyes tested. The staff also helped him for further investigation and escorted
him to AIIMS where he was admitted for surgery. One of our outreach workers
remained with him as an attendant during his stay in the Hospital.
Now Shankar can see with his both eyes and is grateful for the light that shines
on him once again.
Reproductive and Child Health
The RCH project with MAMTA was extended in 2010 - 2011
which allowed the continuation of services to mothers and
children in the community through this program. Several
activities and services were provided ranging from pre-natal care,
community talks on child survival and safe motherhood, RTI, STI
and HIV and AIDS.
In 2010-11, Hope Project extended its services and opened a
Gynecologist OPD as well. It started a number of relaxation
exercises for women in the basti to prevent the onset of chronic
illness among women.
