The Prevention and Treatment Program
The balance of treatment and prevention are almost focused on the long term of requirement for the future. So as Community Health Worker (CHW), you are required to visit and work with your villagers all the times and help them to find the better way to solve their problem. Almost of their communication, first of all is to ask for your support to treat their sickness. But you should to think that when you try to help them in healthcare, you should imagine that what happen in the future? Therefore you can clarify that all these sickness and pains are be able to prevent and we can practice the prevention by themselves. Please be careful, sometimes the health manager and CHW in your community are strongly reactive to the patient without limitation in helping to treat the patients but sometimes it is not effective. For the patient had already sickness if treatment did not match with the requirement it caused to loose cooperation and it was affected to the prevention program as well. The treatment and the prevention program went to the same way. The small treatment can help and prevent from serious case. If you can educate the villagers about their health issues and treat them at home so we can prevent them from the sickness “The urgent treatment is the way of prevention program”
If you want to make a good cooperation you should start from the location where crowd people and you should make a balance in treatment and prevention program – the balance in living of the villagers it means the healthcare and treatment. To help anyone in the village, first of all you should be careful and gather more information especially older people in the village, did they visited their regularly health checking? And in the other care you do not tell the mother has baby sickness about the prevention program is very important than treatment, but you can tell her about this when her baby was get better “The prevention program is very important than other” The implementation of treatment is prevention program when they come to find the treatment and you have an opportunity to discuss with them about the prevention program as well. For example the mother brought their child who has sickness to you house to start this, first of all you explain more detail about the how to treat this child? And you can have an opportunity to tell to mother and child about how the worms transmit to our body? What should we prevent? As you are a CHW you should observe every time to get more detail but not try to find fall them just try to support them and help them effectively in prevention. During your visit in the community you can the habit of the villagers what did they do in the rainy and dry seasons. What the most fact of transmit? What diseases and sickness happened in the village? Where did they treat? So in each village you can collect further data and information and you can write the case for each village to keep as Case Management. This method can help you to track all information in each disease or village and it is easy way for you to report to Health Authorities and stakeholders. It is an importance for seeking and mobilizing the resources of support from the donor or social charities or NGOs.
In conclusion as you are a community health worker, you should make house to house visit rather than the villagers come to meet you at home. The reasons to visit their home are to observe their house environment, it is clean? Did they grow any vegetable? Is there any older person in their house? And you also have any opportunity to explain about the importance of prevention program and talk about elementary treatment like one word said “The prevention is better than treatment”. It doesn’t mean the cow jump in the farm and eat at all anything in the farm and then the farmer built the fence later like that. We should build the fence before the cow jumps in the farm to eat at all in the farm. Therefore the prevention program is important than treatment but make them balance, the treatment and prevention are the same way to support the community health and villagers will live with healthy environment
