Along with education, access to health care is one of the primary human rights. In the upper valleys of Solu Khumbu, force is to say that quite often there is no such facility in the vicinity of the inhabitants, at least not everywhere. Hence the idea , to make available such remote health posts as first-aid facility for the villagers living far away from an hospital /clinic.
First aid care for basic injuries ( cuts, falls, open wounds…) avoiding potential infection and procuring eventually first necessary strapping/band aids / etc…
Establish first simple diagnostic for simple affections with clear diagnostics such as diarrheas, flu, headaches etc… and provide with relevant medicines
Provide and spread with the population good health practices in general, and in case of pandemic in particular and provide with relevant kits (when available)
Coordinate with closest hospital/doctor for evacuation in case of more serious disease and/or unsure diagnostic
Raise awareness through specific programs from primary school on good practices related to hygiene and healthcare
Lorraine Nepal association has built and support two health posts in Salabesi and Ringmo.
SoluCham will in turn support these two health posts by providing medicines/ diagnostic apparatus, and volunteers.
We will as well build other facilities in the coming years in remote areas currently missing such.
