REPORT BY DR ROSANNA MOONSAMY – CCF INTERNATIONAL CHURCH
Medical Clinic Project : South Coast (Sezela)
In conjunction with the meetings that CCF international is holding at Sezela with Ap Ivan Andrade, a Free Medical Clinic will also be hosted.
This will take place on the 16th of October from 9am to 2pm at the Sezela Recreation Club Hall.
We want to offer a holistic approach to people’s well-being as we have realized that people do not seek treatment from the doctor for physical ailments only, but also for emotional issues as they have no one else to turn to. Hence, when holding medical clinic days we try to incorporate this aspect as well. We are of the firm belief that prevention is better than cure which is why our clinic days also incorporate awareness campaigns on diseases and ailments commonly suffered by the general public (e.g. Diabetes, Heart Disease, TB, HIV, Infectious diseases)
Keeping in mind that we are a faith based organization, and that our mandate is to spread the Gospel of Christ, we have a counseling facet attached to our clinic.
For the above reasons, we cover the following:
- Blood glucose testing
- Blood Pressure Testing
- Counseling
- Awareness Campaigns
- Consultation by a Doctor
We have managed to get buy in from the local churches who will assist us with counseling.
We were fortunate enough to have Medication sponsored to us by Crossroads international, and equipment by companies that sell medical equipment.
People are willing to sacrifice their day volunteering at our clinic day, doctors, nurses and other health care professionals. We have guests who are willing to assist us as well, Linsy Kurian George who is a Registered nurse from the US and Marina Georgeana Foghis who is a Social Worker from Romania.
Anyone who would like to assist us is welcome to do so.
