Health Training to Paramedic

A group of medical health volunteers conducted training about health to 20 paramedics at Jitpur health post. Medical volunteers Benjamine, Sarah and Si nae kim did 6 days training to two groups of paramedics, 10 each. Health training was focus on human anatomy, physiology, clinical examination of human body, related diseases and its management.
 
One of the major objectives of VIN’s public health and medical care program is to improve the quality of health services provided by the community health centres. For this VIN has identified several activities like infrastructure development, upgrade the facilities, support health service providers, conduct trainings about health. It has been directly implementing its activities in communities to achieve the objective. Local and international volunteers are the key human resources working in this project. They work hard to fulfil community need and VIN’s target. On this context in the month of July there were 3 international volunteers and a local volunteer working for the project. There medical volunteers, medical graduate, taught groups of paramedics. Paramedics are there in health post after 18 months course for practical exposure. They are the future human resource to work in health post. They have to handle a health post in rural Nepal. So they should have sound knowledge of human anatomy, physiology, health problems, clinical examination, diagnosis and medical treatment. As there are no facilities of pathology and means of investigations they should have analytical knowledge with differential diagnosis skills. To fulfil this it may not possible during this short technical course time of 18 months period. If they got more opportunities to learn, that will help them to upgrade their capacity.
 
VIN managed interactive classes with paramedics and volunteers. They made classes more interactive with practical demonstration. Paramedics were happy to take the classes. They expressed they got opportunity to learn the skills practically. It helped them to review what they have learnt and has motivated to go more deeply into the matter. They were happy with VIN volunteers and express their sincere gratitude after completing the sessions.
