After establishment of this health centre, it has brought an
immense change in the health of the people living there. Every year we do some

EVALUATION:
The six months of stay serving the needy people at grass root level was
interesting, learning the real life of the people. Not only provided them
services but also learned from them some important practices that they apply
during delivery and other problems. We had patients for general check up, some
mothers came for their Antenatal visits and postnatal visits, mothers brought
their child for vaccinations, etc. The clients acted very normal without any
language problems. They shared all their problems without any hesitation.
Therefore, my set objectives were fully met
Since then after the implementation of western medicine. It is more pronounced that there is a dramatic change in the health condition of the local people there...May god bless the faithful broad minded sponsors who have invested so much to this ignorant village which is located in the nook and corner of Midwestern region of Nepal.
ReplyDeleteI appreciate the initiative taken by Kunphen Shogtso Menkhang for the betterment of health service in such rural places of Nepal. All the people behind this selfless service should be encouraged and provided with needed support to continue their work.
