The Women health Camp at Guwahati:
The Women health Camp was organized by NECF in collaboration with International Hospital,(IH)Giuwahati on 18th of October, 2012 at the NECF campus at Pachim Boragaon, Guwahati. Wide publicity was given for the camp and patients were registered for check up from 10th of October. Our target was the female population of the underprivileged section of the society from the nearby locality. Thirty eight women from the area came for the medical check up. The International Hospital, GS Road, Guwahati under the leadership of Dr Tonmoy Das has agreed earlier to send a team of doctors with paramedical staff for the camp. A team of eight persons including two qualified gynecologist, two nurses, two lab technician and two paramedical staff came to attend to the patients. The camp started at 10 am and the health check up was completed by 2 pm. The staff of the NECF also assisted the team from International hospital. All the patients were given free medicines contributed both by NECF and IH and all patients and their attendants appreciated the effort made by NECF and wanted more such health camp to be conducted in the future for the local population.
Primary Health Centre at West Boragaon, Guwahati:
This is the first modest milestone of NECare and this primary health care centre (PHCC) was inaugurated on 6th November, 2011, by Sri Nipon Goswami, noted film & television actor and Dr. Nagen Goswami, Ex health officer, Bhutan Govt. It is located at West Boragaon (near Pragtishpur school) and there are no other such medical facility for poor and needy people around this area. As a basic infrastructure, we have built the house that has a doctor’s room, dressing or nursing room, medicine dispense room, patients waiting room, laboratory and appropriate water and toilets for the stuff and the patients. Currently, this PHCC has one doctor and a male nurse to look after the patients. From 6th November, in an average about 15 patients are visiting this PHCC every day to take treatment and advice.
Our immediate goal is to make this PHCC complete with a reasonable lab facility to diagnosis commonly occurring ailments in this area.
