Savar Medical
Most of the children in Savar area suffer from malnutrition and have stomach problems like diarrhoea, cholera and similar diseases.
Most children in the Savar area suffer from malnutrition and stomach issues such as diarrhea, cholera, and similar diseases. The project is based in villages around Rajason in Savar, near Bangladesh’s capital, Dhaka. Like much of the country, it is a poor area. Limited access to healthcare, coupled with a lack of education on health and hygiene, leads to preventable illnesses and high infant mortality rates.
In rural areas like Savar, healthcare facilities and services are often limited due to geographical remoteness, inadequate infrastructure, and socioeconomic challenges. Many residents, especially mothers and children, lack access to basic healthcare, resulting in avoidable complications and deaths. The Savar Medical Clinic, run by our International Needs partners in Bangladesh, is helping address this gap. The clinic is equipped to diagnose, treat, and prevent a range of contagious diseases prevalent in the area, such as malaria, tuberculosis, HIV/AIDS, and respiratory infections.
A significant focus of the clinic is maternal health services, including prenatal care, skilled birth attendance, postnatal care, family planning, and immunizations. The clinic works to ensure mothers are well-nourished, prepared for childbirth, and receive adequate postpartum care, helping to reduce infant mortality and prevent birth defects caused by malnutrition and inconsistent care.
One of the unique aspects of the project is the use of Medical Camps. These camps serve as temporary healthcare facilities providing a wide range of services to the local population. They offer general medical check-ups, consultations with healthcare professionals, vaccinations, diagnostic tests, and treatment for common illnesses. Health education sessions also help villagers understand the importance of immunization, growth monitoring, low-cost nutritious food preparation, family planning, sanitation, personal hygiene, and waste disposal.
The Savar Medical Clinic and its Medical Camps are vital for the health of women and children in the area. Your support enables International Needs health workers to continue providing essential maternal health services, protecting pregnancies, ensuring safe deliveries, and improving neonatal care. Together, we can improve the health and future of families in Savar.
