/0 Comments/in , /by

The medical point in Washokani is still providing treatment for patients of Leishmania, knowing that the number has increased since the last August to be more than 1041 patients and about 8328 visitors receiving the doses by the end of January.

 

Leishmania is a parasitic disease spread by the bite of tiny infected sand flies. It is one of the most popular skin pdiseases in the world, infecting people from different ages.  

This fly attacks the skin causing festering wounds last for long time. However, the injury begins to appear, several weeks after the sting, in the form of red blisters small or large with ulcers on them.  The secretions of these ulcers settle on the surface and get dry, then they enlarge gradually, especially when the immunity is weak.

There are many factors of spreading this disease; one of them is the dry water marshes in NES that cause infection of thousands of patients every year. Those patients visit KRC primary health care points, as they get treatment with muscular or local vaccine after a recommendation from the doctor; they get treatment from KRC till they fully recover.

Primary health care/PHC/ services target the needs of individuals, families and communities containing health and well-being in their comprehensive and interrelated physical, psychological and social aspects. It provides lifelong health care to the person as a whole, not limited to some specific diseases.

 

The /PHC/ guarantees getting comprehensive health care access for all people starting from counseling, prevention, treating, rehabilitation and palliative care. Currently, it plays the crucial role in managing the main reasons and risks for the bad health and well-being, including the new obstacles that could get them worse in the future. In addition to decreasing the cases that need hospitals and achieving the sustainable development aims concerning health and comprehensive health coverage.

To meet people needs and starting from the main health aspects, KRC dedicated a large portion of its services to provide PHC through 45 medical points distributed in cities, camps, hospitals, and mobile clinics in all NES. However, there are many departments (health educating, internal clinic- pediatrician- gynecology- Obstetrics- Leishmania-Labs- primary psychological clinic or psychological support- emergency)

Manbij center is a good example of providing primary health care to the locals and its countryside for more than three years. Ms. Malik Qassem, team leader, summarized the outcome of this center.

 

  • Tracking epidemics-Corona virus- through triage chamber (this room recognizes the infected people before disease worsens, then they are directed to get the appropriate treatments)
  • Tracking social issues (poverty that leads to malnutrition) through conducting visits to the center beneficiaries

 

  • Following up chronic diseases
  • Tracking environmental issues which may lead to mass medical cases such as diarrhea caused by water pollution.

 

In developed countries, such centers usually provide health-care service, but because of the current exceptional circumstances, our centers are providing wider health care, which burdened us with more tasks.
