Kadambas Health Post

The people of Kadambas have dreamed of a health post for a long time and some years ago they uttered this wish to the NHB. Finally, after all these years, their wish became true in August 2011. Construction work at a new building above the Shree-Kali-Devi-School had been going on since October 2010. The new health station for first aid was built within 10 months. The building has seven rooms on two floors including three sickrooms. Two trained nurses take care of patients who suffer from minor medical emergencies.

Sabina Parajuli, a young woman from a neighbouring village, is studying medicine in Kathmandu. During her semester breaks she supports the medical team, so that the people of Kadambas don’t have to see the doctor in Chautara, which is twenty kilometer away. This had always been a very exhausting travel so far in that region.

Thanks to the many donations, NHB was able to support this project with a volume of 30,000 Euro and thus guarantees primary health care for the local population.  

Kadambas Health Post offiziell am 30.12.2011 seiner Bestimmung übergeben

Mit einem großen Fest feierte die Bevölkerung von Kadambas die Einweihung der neuen Erste Hilfe Station in ihrem Dorf. Mehr als 1200 Einwohner aus Kadambas und den umliegenden Dörfern waren am 30.12.11 gekommen, um ihren neuen „health post“ einzuweihen. Er stellt für die Bevölkerung eine große Erleichterung dar, nicht wegen jedem „Wehwehchen“ in die Bezirksstadt Chautara fahren zu müssen. Zwei erfahrene Krankenschwestern, die von der Gemeinde angestellt wurden, kümmern sich um kleinere medizinische Notwendigkeiten vom Husten bis zur Geburt. Unterstützt werden sie von Zeit zu Zeit von Sabina Parajuli, die als Medizinstudentin während ihres Heimaturlaubes im Nachbardorf Sangachok die beiden Krankenschwestern unterstützt.
