GERIATRIC CLINIC
GERIATRIC CLINIC
In 1994 the Rotary Club of Karunagappally constructed the Rotary community centre. Then the Head Load Workers of the locality asked us ‘‘What is the use of this centre for us” without any hesitation we answered them “ We will take care of the Health problems of your parents” Thus idea of free Geriatric Clinic was conceived.
So in 1995 Rotary Club of Karunagappally decided to start this community service project for the welfare of the less privileged senior citizens of this Rotary area. Thus this Unique continuous on going, comprehensive community health care project for the senior citezens, THE GERIATRIC CLINIC was started on August 15,h 1995.
All the Rotarians, Anns andAnnetes help to conduct the clinic by financial help and participation. Approximately an amount of Rs. 25000 is spent for the Clinic every month. All the members of the Club render to donate some money for the clinic during their important functions like the birth of the Child, Wedding of their children, Wedding anniversary, Birth day and other celebrations.
This clinic is being conducted between 10 am and 2 pm on every Sunday at Karunagappally Rotary community centre. At present 670 registrations are there in the Clinic. Around200 beneficiaries attend the Clinic regularly. The Rotarian Doctors examine the patients with the help of other Rotarians, Anns andAnnetes. Medicines for the next month is given free of cost to the senior citizens. Most of the old age problems like Anemia, anorexia, pain in joints, respiratory infections and AUery and Asthma, Hypper Tension, Cardiac Problems, Diabetes and complications, acid peptic diseases and helminthiasis, Skin problems, Eye diseases and Neurology problems like epilepsy and sleep disorders are attented to in the clinic.
The beneficiaries are given health education and counseling. They are taught how to manage Hurry, Worry and Curry (Food). They enjoy variety entertainments through cable TV. They get good fellowship by interaction among themselves. They leave the clinic happily with enough medicines for the next month with the delightful hope to meet again in the next Geriatric Clinic.
We are very happy to note that some of the patients of the clinic who walked with the help of Two Sticks are now walking with one stick or without stick.
Many Rotarian leaders including PDGs have visited and appreciated the Geriatric Clinic. The health condition of the attendants of the clinic h$s improved a lot and theirby their family could get rid of the huge financial burden of treating these poor senior citizens.
