Prevention of Blindness in children below five year of age
Under nutrition leads to vit-A deficiency The Vit-A Deficiency leads to Nutritional blindness Nutritional blindness affects over 7 million children with 60,000 children becoming blind every year.
We had adopted 434 Children of 16 Villages of Meghraj Taluka which are of age below five years. We are conducting examination of their Eyes, Height, weight & General body chequeup and We provied Vitamine ‘A’ & Albenbezol (wormicidal Tablets), nutritional food like Sing – Chana, Chiky, Tal ladoo, Biscuites, Chocolates, sukhdi, Ground nut etc….. etc…… once a week. We visit four time in a week and each visit we Cover around about 100 Children.
We are spending 1700 Rs. / Visit for transportation, food material, Diesel, Ophthalmic assistance & man power. We are conducting health chequeups of these children to prevent blindness & malnutrition in these children Totally we spent about Approx Rs. 3,50,000/- Per year. At the same time our Ophthalmic assistance examines aged people at same villages & those children and aged people having some eye related problems are advised to come at Shri Jalaram Hospital.

Mother (Pregnant woman) & Child Health Project.
We are having 150 bedded hospital at Meghraj under Shri Jalaram Arogya Seva Trust managing department like Medicine, Surgery, Gynecology, Pediatric, Ophthalmology, and Dental department since last 21 years.
For above project we need about 18 to 20 Lacs every year. This project will help to reduce the maternal mortality rate and newborn mortality rate.
As per our survey and government record in this area, every month about 425-450 deliveries are taking place but only 225-250 deliveries are conducted at various hospital while other deliveries are conducted at home by non medico person like untrained dias.
Most of pregnant women never come to hospital for routine check up. Only 10 % pregnant women come to hospital for routine checkup, Sonography, and laboratory investigation and for medicine while remaining pregnant women come with some complication like leaking of the amniotic fluid, bleeding, premature labour pain or fetal distress at last moment of the delivery. Most of women about 90-95% in these areas are severally anaemic and under nourished.
Because of the poverty and illiteracy most of the pregnant women avoid to come hospital for routine checkup. Because of this maternal and newborn mortality is very high here. That’s why we are thinking about a project which helps to solve these problems. In this project we will provide free consultation, free Sonography, free laboratory investigation, free medicine like haematinic capsule, folic acid ,Calcium ,Protein powder and other drugs for pregnant women prescribed by gynaecologist till 45 days after delivery. We are also thinking to provide a nutrition kit to mother and new horn babies. By this project, we will able to bring at least 250-300 pregnant women to hospital for routing check up and delivery every month. And in such way, we can reduce maternal & child mortality rate.
Our hospital having full time gynaecologist and paediatrician. So we are able to reduce maternal mortality and infant mortality rate up to 90 % in our hospital.
As per discussion with Gynaecologist, Paediatrician, Pathologist and chemist if we examined and treat minimum 250 pregnant women every month then we need Rs.600/pregnant women means Rs.1,50,000- 1,70,000/month means Rs.18,00,000-Rs.20,00,000/year.
Your financial help will be benefiting poorest of poor, a very big step in improving maternal and child health care of the marginalised people of our region. Together we can make a big difference.
We ensure that your donation will surely move for right cause
Thanks & Regards
