Visit to Shoshana medical project, Swarna

  
Pics from my recent visit to Shoshana medical centre at Swarna village.


This is our recently started medical project. Villagers are quite happy with it especially the old people.


  
All types of people are utilizing the services. There is no age bar. In some of the projects where there is a female nurse we could see men little bit hesistant to see the nurse where as here there is no such situation.


  
The nurse, Prasanna is from this village so the people are familiar with her.

  
People in this area are agricultural labourers.Harvesting time for the paddy crop and people are quite busy with selling process. Old people and children who are at home are taking the medical help in the afternoon and the nurse said she get more patients in the evening time when the people come back from work.
