Medical & Social Interventions |
| Disability attitudes are major barriers in improving life
conditions of Physically Challenged people in Developing Countries. Studies
have shown that people in General, Harbor Negative and Paternalistic attitudes
towards Persons with Disabilities. Myths, legends, scriptures and folklores are
all part of the cultural belief system that shape such attitudes. The
physically challenged suffer frequently more due to social prejudices than due
to their disabling physical conditions. The social and physical environment in which these
physically challenged live is often designed without much consideration of
their special needs. In this article, some social interventions aimed at
changing disability attitudes of rural people in India are discussed. As part
of a Community-based Rehabilitation program, the main thrust of these
interventions were to shift attention of local communities from disabilities to
abilities of the physically challenged. The efficiency of these social
interventions are discussed. Children of Day care
and Hostellers will be taken for Medical check-up every quarter for follow up.
This check-up will be closely monitored by our medical doctor and after
diagnosing the health condition of the children, accordingly the doctor would prescribe
the medicines to children. According to parent’s information about health
condition and hygiene, the doctor would provide Medicines, Treatment, Support
and other behavioral attitudes for development / reducing the severity of the
disability. With the approval of District Medical and Health Officer, Kakinada
District, Kakinada, the Primary Health Centre, Panduru is providing us required
medicines once in a quarter and taking precautionary measures for these
children and they are putting their efforts towards improvement of health
conditions of these children. |
