ADIEU👋!!!!!!!!!!!

Hello everyone...

Well, here it is. The last day of our postings of this year. It has come to an end. Myself and all my friends of batch E  really enjoyed our time together during this work, because this is something of a different experience for us other than the routine clinical postings. We gave our utmost (well not all, just a handful of girls and boys) dedication to this project right from the transect walk, social mapping, role play which our actors and actresses did so good, data collection and data analysis. Data entry was totally a different experience. Our teachers made it so easy for us. On behalf of all my batch mates I would like to thank all our teachers for giving us this wonderful opportunity for this new experience and guiding us throughout the entire postings. I regret so badly,  we couldn't do the presentation due to less members but I hope we did justice a little bit to the making of  presentation and the report. I ll surely miss cm postings, but nothing to worry we ll meet soon next year.. until then bye byeeeeeeee......

Hi all....

Hey everyone,

                     Well yeah today is the most awaited  day , most expected day in our postings ... Yes we conducted MEDICAL CAMP in pillayarkuppam village.. It was quite a good experience...  We the students, interns, sisters, social workers guided by our community medicine PG's and staff went to the camp..  Actually we enjoyed the day.. we students measured BP, then we explained the charts to the people ... few people asked questions regarding our charts... so it wasnt boring for us ..

It's me 😎there explaining the chart to an old lady surrounded by posers 😏... Thank you for the pic Sridar sir ✌

                      I guess we had maximum attendance today .. OD might be the reason for that😉.  We also had a awareness drama for alcohol drinking... Our guys really performed very well...  We received few comments from the people which is unexpected ... And a small suggestion from me ... We had our camp in a temple..  Few can't come to the temple because of some reasons... so it will be better if we conduct the camps in some other places for the upcoming days and batches..

                        We had some fun today... Really it's a much needed break for us from our regular postings and hospital... Thank you to the  HOD sir Dr.Seetharaman , pruthu sir, sridhar sir, surekha mam, chitra mam and entire dept of community medicine who made us to enjoy our day...

            A DAY TO REMEMBER ....
                                        THANK YOU......

Yes... That's me with the  smiling beauty .. we found her in this camp... We all loved her cute smile ..😊

KEY INFORMANT INTERVIEW WITH ANGANWADI

Anganwadi, a part of public health care system to counter health and mortality issues in Indian villages, is the place we visited as a key informant interview of the village Pillaiyarkuppam. It has a population of 1185 people including 566 men and 619 women. We interview Mrs.Kavithamni, the teacher of that Anganwadi as part of our survey. “We have 13 records maintained here” she started with a smile on her face, and showed all those records , including staff attendance , children note , lactating mother note, pregnant mother note , immunization note , stock note, visitors note, mid- day meals note , family survey note and Vitamin A Bi annual note . They need to provide care for newborns and ensure that all children below the age of 6 are immunized, and also provide supplementary nutrition for the 40 children in that village. There is also pre schooling for 5 children (3-5 years). Old age pension includes Rs.2000 and disability pension includes Rs.2500.
       “Most of the men die due to alcoholism” she uttered as soon as we asked the main cause of death in the village, and then she said there were 2 cases reported of TB. The major problem was mosquito other than that street dogs and rats in that place. But still monthly once they do spray medicine for mosquito control. When asked about the intake of fruits in the village, the village people denied they won’t take fruits because they don’t have sufficient money, but according to the teacher, the people do buy fruits and eat. “The reason is that they might have thought you would give them something if they said they were poor”, said the teacher. People are still not aware of the Diabetes mellitus and Hypertension problem and they don’t want to screen themselves, even if they do and become positive. They prefer injection, thinking medicines won’t cure them. They only go to hospital if they sense something is wrong with their body.
              People do physical activity, suggested by the doctors, nurses, social staffs, and maintain their body. According to the teacher, no obese people and do undernourished people are seen. Most of the men’s occupation is farmer, and women are    working in nearby company. People do save money, they deposit in bank said the teacher, but “We don’t do savings and all.”  Denied  the village people when we surveyed each house.
                We came to know that there were 5 deaths per year and 5 births per year. Overall we managed to ask almost all the questions about the socio- economic profile, nutritional status, and mortality rate of the village. We thank the teacher and the Anganwadi helper for cooperating with us.

  Thank you

This week went on with data entry and analysis work. Though it was new to know about making pie charts,tables but it was little difficult to do it. It was a double work as I and our team mates didn't save it for first time and we did it again.

Hi,  
     Today also typing, typing!!!! Oops no no, creating pie charts,  bar charts, and tables😛😜😜😝 in excel. We completed our particular task successfully, and we are kind of good in creating tables and charts now. Thanks to our staff who taught us . Next classes are about discussing the problems in the village and making charts and we are gonna start preparing for our camp. Excited about the camp.😎😎. hope we give a good report and reach to the level our teachers expected from us. 

Waiting waiting. .....

Thank you
