| The
idea of forming VHO: |
Looking
at the pathetic condition of the villagers in
3rd world countries who have to travel miles away
to the nearest town or city every time they need
to see a Doctor. Some friend living in and outside
their native countries (non Residents) decided
to form a group to put in their efforts for making
life bit easy for those poor people living in
villages. |
| Problems
faced by the Villagers in 3rd World Countries: |
in
3rd World Country we lack the basic Health Care
Facilities, a Villager when falls sick, has to
travel to the nearest town alone or with his relatives
for treatment, either by foot or by animal driven
carts. In some cases its seen that even the old
women walk all alone up to 10 k.m. to reach the
hospital in town or city.
We
should not only depend on Government Hospitals
as they are overloaded and in some cases not available
near many villages. In private hospitals and clinics,
they've to pay lot of money apart from the medicines
which is beyond the capacity of a poor villageer.
There
is no arrangement for the accommodation of the
patient or his attendant, so in that case they
sleep on foot paths in miserable conditions.
The
take food from dirty eating houses, there is no
sympathy for such people, they are totally ignored,
mistreated, degraded, and even cheated in some
cases.
In
most cases they have to sell their Land or Animals
to meet the Medical Expenses. After which they
are totally bankrupt and paupers, even turned
into beggers. |
| How
these VHO Health Centers (Clinics) can Help ? |
A
VHO Health is basically a small Clinic as O.P.D
(Out Patient Department) in a House or a Hut provided
by someone in the village.
A
Doctor from nearby town will travel to the VHO
Clinic using his own transport and will be assisted
by a male and a female medical attendant as available
in village.
Doctors
will guide and help his / her assistants to help
patients and attend them.
This
will be the Help Villages to get treatment in
their own village, they will not have to travel
to towns to spend money and loose their honour
and dignity for the sake of medical treatment. |

| Within
the Country Support: |
Head
of Local Setup for the Country, called Country
Coordinator will work under Central Committee
and will be responsible to the Central Committee
as and when required. He / She will form a Country
Coordination Committee to look after the day to
day work of the organization.
He
/ She will try to arrange medicines at cheaper
rates and arrange to dispatch to the respective
clinics. Country Coordinator Will also see the
overall management of clinics and take reports
from the local clinics including Doctors. Country
Coordinator will then give his / her findings
to the central body. |
| Provincial
/ Regional Coordination Committee (within Country): |
This
Committee will be headed by Provincial Coordinator
in the province itself and will take care of local
provincial problems. He will be the resident of
that state / province. |
| Head
of Local Clinics: |
This
can be a person, who is confident that he can
not only start a clinic in his Village / Area
of living but also he can monitor its activities
in the future.
He
/ She will be the key person to manage and run
the local Clinic, and the performance of Staff. |
| Continuity
of Running the Clinic: |
Once
the Clinic is started, it will be very difficult
to close down because thos who have started this
are from that own village and it becomes question
of their honor if discontinued. More over the
Villagers who are benefitted from this will also
try their best that these clinics continue to
operate. |
| Facing
Local Problems: |
In
small / Remote places, there are some local people
who may decide to help in big way that the clinic
should be setup with in their names. This will
work wonders in flourishing the clinic. |
| Health,
Safety and Environment: |
Besides
treating the patients, the Doctor and staff will
also advise and guide the villagers about their
safety and environment. For example about How
to keep the environment around them clean and
save themselves from any mishaps. A general guide
about how to live a healthy life.
|
| Reward
for this cause: |
There
is great reward to this service, Allah promises
reward for such service here in this world and
hereafter.
Above
all, it is a great satisfication that you are
providing Health Facilities to your own Village
that you left behind in search of a good life.
