CDS- Shoshana Medical help at Vittal nagar, Chirala for the Waste Picker Community.

Shoshana started giving medical assistance at Vittal nagar in the year 2010 and for the last 15 years, we has been giving a long term  medical support for the rag picking community. These communities often face extreme vulnerability so small interventions can bring major change.

The first step we did was gathering the basic information about the area like the number of families and the common illnesses they usually have . Found out there was no existing medical support in that area.

The essential items we provide at the project is First aid supplies like bandages, pain relief, guauze etc

Skin infection creams, multi vitamins, deworming tablets and basic medications for fever, cough, allergies, diarrhoea along with free Blood pressure and Sugar checkups.
