People in Block G, they are so many, around 2000 families! They have a very difficult problem, about their general health, and through the help of FORGE and this new Health Project, they are able to gain more advice to improve their health. This area has no clinic, with no one employed to facilitate information to the community from the health sector.
Especially with information about le SIDA or, HIV/AIDS, this has been our focus this month. People do not know to abstain or think that the virus can even be spread by mosquitoes. They do not know how to be able to recognize the causes and symptoms of certain preventable diseases, or what to do to treat someone who is already infected with any kind of illness. Refugee Health Services was renovated and opened by FORGE in March to help educate people about ways they can know their health status and improve their health in this remote community that is a vast distance from the clinic. In general we help them to become aware about HIV/AIDS, malnutrition, dehydration, respiratory disease, and many more.
People are still giving many thanks to FORGE and its Refugee Health Service for their project which is allowing them to be aware about the impact of some of the diseases which are affecting the Block G community. Thank you to FORGE for helping us live in good health.
