Kota village of Tanahun on the other side of Kaligandaki river. Even on Saturday, there was a lot of activity in the courtyard of Sri Parvati Mavi of that village in Devghat rural municipality-1. After a team of doctors, nurses and other health workers from Chitwan Hospital in Bharatpur Chaubiskothi came to conduct a free health camp, the locals gathered at the school. Parents came not only to check themselves but also to show their children.
In a room of the building on the west side of the school, Dr. Dr. was a pediatrician. Krishnasagar Sharma Paudel . 60 children came to check with him. 'Looking at the right eye of a seven-year-old girl felt unnatural . Eyesight good on examination It turned out that there is no,' said Dr. Paudel said. The mother who came along found out for the first time that she could not see well with that eye.
dr. Paudel wrote a recommendation to take him to the eye hospital immediately. "If the treatment is started soon, there is a possibility that the eye problem will not increase further and the eyes will be better," said Dr. Paudel . Similarly, another seven-year-old girl weighs only 14 kg. A child of this age should be at least 20 to 25 kg . The girl has itchy skin problem since birth. The mother who came along said that even if they give medicine, they seem to be cured for a few days and then the problem starts again.
Dr. This happened due to an allergy problem and blood test should be done. Poudel advised . A 14-year-old girl who complained of headaches from a young age also saw a doctor for the first time. After Dr. Paudel told about the problems and delays in the treatment of the children who came to check with him, Maniraj Gurung, the ward president of Devghat Rural Municipality-1, said, 'There are many such diseases and ailments. A 13-year-old girl passed away on January 10th. She kept on crying saying that it hurt her ear and nothing else. But could not be taken for treatment, the parents will not have the means to take them to the hospital . I didn't know this too early .'
'To reach Bharatpur by crossing the suspension bridge from Kota via Dhodeni in Gandakot, it will be only about 15 km,' says the Ward President Gurung . But there is no concrete bridge and it is not possible to go back and forth by car. From Chitwan Thimura via Devghat and crossing Trishuli to reach Bharatpur, a distance of 35 km has to be covered. Moreover, the road from Kota to Devghat is not easy. Kota and Bharatpur will be connected by traffic after the bridge was built in Thimura this year.
'Doing something close made the inconvenience far . This place is very cornered. So it was not easy to go out even for treatment,' said Maniraj Gurung, Ward President. Dr. Vijay Paudel, who is the director of Chitwan Hospital, informed that 425 people were tested in the
camp. Video X-ray facility and A team that went with a specialist doctor did video x-rays of 130 people. During the blood sugar test of 200 people, problems were found in 12 people. Paudel said.
