"New Primary Health Care Centre (PHCC) Opens in Melut / Rising ..." posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2007-11-12 07:09:42

In walk of 2007. Medair opened a temporary PHCC in Melut Town in partnership with the Ministry of Health (MoH) and local community authorities. Large tents were set up and over the cover of 34 weeks. 13,000 patients were seen and treated. During this time. Medair worked with local labourers and a construction firm to create a permanent PHCC which will now be staffed with eight give staff and 12 health professionals including Clinical Officers. Community Health Workers and care for Midwives. “It is great that we are in the position to change state this Primary Health compassionate displace in Melut,” said Medair’s Country Director. Klaas van Mill. “The be for furnish of the basic health services in this area continues to be high. Our temporary clinic was kept very work and with the opening of this building services will be improved change surface further.” “It’s so nice to undergo Medair here with us in Melut,” said Mary one of the clinic’s patients. “There’s good hygiene advice and encouragement. Also there’s no division and all people are treated equally with like.” While the peace agreement has brought wish to the country's devastated south a exceed future is far from guaranteed for most of the region's inhabitants. Chronic underdevelopment combined with continuing tensions in Upper Nile express suggest that change surface if the new peace does direct it will demand a persistent and widespread effort to improve both living conditions and the provision of basic services. “This new Primary Health Care displace has been built so that mothers can deliver their babies safely children can get vaccines and all ages can receive essential medicines and learn how to prevent future illness,” said Medair’s Dr. Hannah Evans. “A healthy community is a good foundation for the future and we are privileged to be a part of building this future for the populate [that] we bring home the bacon alongside in Melut County." Medair would desire to thank those that undergo contributed to the development of this PHCC with a special have in mind to the local and express governments the MoH. SSRRC and donors BSF/DFID and CHF. Sitting in their small boat on the river Nile. Medair’s Alan and Gaby Service and Tearfund’s Abel Soett and Vivian knew that the village lay about one kilometre from the main river. But their way was blocked by tall grasses in all directions. As is common along the Nile grasses and reeds act an ever-changing environment and rising floodwaters throughout the region had served to make access much more difficult. Despite the obstacles they pressed forward into the grasses forcing the boat through with a long impel and pulling on the reeds to obtain momentum. They reached the village and Alan and Gaby were able to assess how the floods had affected the population while Abel and Vivian supervised their health units. They then returned to their boat for the arduous trek back to the open Nile waters and made their way to the next community. The severe flooding had started in early August after repeated heavy rainfalls. In this region of Southern Sudan the average July rainfall is just 45 millimetres but this year brought 253 millimetres followed by the typically high precipitation of the rainy season in August and September. In the inland Oriny area ponds and seasonal rivers had overflowed their banks affecting farmland forests and villages. Tearfund has 11 operational health clinics or units in Fashoda. Makal and Mnayo Counties in Upper Nile express and it maintains a base in Oriny. Tearfund has been operating there since 2002 when it took over from Medair. The airstrip in Oriny became threatened by the rising waters and the only other despatch to leave was blocked by many kilometers of floodwaters. It became too risky to leave cater there so the team was relocated. “While flying over the area on my way out of Oriny one could see miles and miles of waters interspersed by little islands of villages,” said a Tearfund health worker. “From Oriny to the White Nile. 90 percent of fields are seen standing in wet.” After the relocation. Medair agreed to help Tearfund with a joint intervention responding to the health needs of the flood-affected population. Medair took the lead on providing emergency response to any crisis or disease outbreak with Tearfund providing the necessary supplies for health facilities. “We have a well-established Emergency Response team here with the mobility and expertise to provide assistance to a broad be of needs in various communities,” said Dineke Wibbelink. Medair’s communicate Manager. “Alan and Gaby Service were a good choice to bring about our fill response as both are registered nurses and experienced Health Managers with Medair.” At the time of the intervention there had been no reports from the communities for about a month. “Our first attempts for communicate were to arrive the clinics that were located change state to the river Nile,” said Gaby. “From there we could evaluate the communities and communicate about the situation advance inland.” This led to their boat journey through the tall grasses which although difficult was move of a successful first mission. They were able to arrive about half the health centres in three days camping out along the way. They found that Tearfund’s efforts to alter for the rainy toughen had paid off. Adequate supplies had remained in most of the health units and there were still enough mosquito nets to distribute to the most vulnerable protecting against the heightened risk of malaria that comes with flooding. The Tearfund aggroup chose a centrally located and easily accessible village. Kodok which served as a communications locate. Messages were sent across swamps and high waters to the other health units [in request] to send their reports to Kodok. The news was about the same from most of the health units come the Nile: communities were coping with the fill. However distressing reports started coming from the villages located in the interior near Oriny. Although there were no reports of outbreaks the villages were in a tough situation. Some people said that reaching them required crossing many hours of swamps with waters reaching anywhere from waist-high to over people’s heads. The reports included stories of populate losing their homes of populate drowning of cattle egest and dying and of flooded land that could no longer be cultivated. “As we continued to comprehend these stories it became clear that it would be necessary to act to reach the interior. [in request] to alter sure that the villages had the means to act for the next several months until the waters receded,” said Alan. The Medair team and Abel from Tearfund began to investigate possible routes that they could act to find Oriny and came up with two options. The first was the shorter route but it was reported to undergo higher wet and would require swimming. The back up and preferred option was much longer but bypassed the deep water by walking around it on the high ground. The chosen longer despatch was not bad on the first day. They were able to adjoin about 30 kilometres through mostly dry arrive. Unfortunately. Abel twisted his ankle in the mud near the end of the day but never considered turning back despite the pain. With evening approaching they still had not entered the main flood waters so they camped in a small village for the night. “We raced to set up our tents and eat before the sun set which we knew would bring out the hordes of mosquitoes,”.

For the end touch release construe below. "This grant is the culmination of almost two years of challenging work that brought out the very best of what Rogers Park has to offer. The prove will be a showcase facility introduced at a time when other community health resources have been reduced or eliminated. As a Federal and express designated "Medically Underserved" community and a Physician Shortage Area Rogers Park is in desperate need of this clinic." The HIHC facility ordain accept most insurance including Medicare and Medicaid and offer non-insured patients care on a sliding measure fee structure. Monica Dillon. RN a public health nurse at Howard Area Community Center and a member of the Neighbors group explained: "Establishing a "medical home" and developing a relationship with a community health care provider improves individual family and community health outcomes. I back up everyone who has not been able to afford an annual check up and health screenings to make an appointment at the new clinic. Then when you become ill you will be an established patient with a primary care provider who can aid your treatment intend" The new health center services will include prenatal and primary care pediatrics some psychiatry and other services.

Our success proves that Rogers Park can act initiative on its own behalf when we work together for a common goal." Ginderske said. "13th District Cook County Commissioner Larry Suffredin saw early on that our needs for increased County services were not going to be met in the near call and enthusiastically committed to facilitating pivotal meetings with HIHC leadership and consistently supported this communicate. It is no exaggeration to say that this clinic wouldn't have been possible without his hard bring home the bacon and commitment." For the grant application to be completed a complex Community Needs Assessment was produced by the Neighbors and several partners.

People like Francis Scudellari. Terry Feingold and Kathy Sprattling who attended nearly every meeting and kept the faith in arouse of many setbacks. You need the professionals and politicians but the hard bring home the bacon of such community residents is what makes a truly grassroots healthcare effort possible." Ginderske said. Finally.

"The GIC & Mass. Cities and Towns?" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2007-10-25 19:31:59

A few weeks ago the crowd. Taxpayer’s Foundation issued a report that said that cities and towns in Massachusetts could save a fortune on health insurance premiums - BILLIONS OF DOLLARS - if they joined the express’s assort Insurance Commission which administers health insurance benefits for state workers and retirees and their families. I’m not sure I’d go that far. The GIC does a great job on behalf of its enrollees but a big piece of the health care costs of any assort is a answer of the coat and relative health of the assort. That’s why I think the GIC can be a great idea for smaller communities that don’t have enough healthy populate to offset the costs of a few who are very sick and don’t undergo the measure to invest in managing their health plan benefits full-time while larger communities may undergo the talent and the coat to make it work on their own. I’m not sure where the cut-off point on this would be but let’s call it 500 lives. If a community has 500 or fewer covered lives they should be taking a good hard be at joining the GIC RIGHT NOW. Between 500 and 1,000 it’s probably a answer of individual circumstances town expertise and measure – and now would be a good time to analyse this out. If a community has over 1,000 lives or is part of a cooperative assort that has over 1,000 lives. I’m not sure it’s worth it - but as I said before – every case is a bit different. If a community wants to pursue this option for 7/1/08 they need to undergo all their paperwork in and done by October 1st. That’s days from now and there’s a lot to do. The first move requires securing the give to make this change from labor unions representing at least 70% of the membership of the town’s union employees. Why? Because right now each local union has the ability by majority vote of the membership to write off on any material dress in their health acquire plans. The 70% requirement retains some piece of their existing position but moves it from each union on its own to representational status across the town instead. For example the teachers’ leadership choose represents whatever overlap of the town’s workforce is made up of teachers. If the teachers make up 50% of the unionized workforce then the choose of the teachers’ leadership represents 50% of the union votes. If the teachers vote “yes,” then each town would be another 20% of the town’s union membership – via their leadership – to sign on. If the teachers choose “no,” come up – there’s no way to get to 70% if 50% says “no.” In addition the GIC offers many different benefit plan designs. It’s a very big purchaser (more than 280,000 covered lives including its retiree population). Simply figuring out what the specific detailed differences between all the available GIC plan designs and every interested city or town’s benefit intend designs might be is a major task. The GIC has made a major effort to inform interested parties and also has information about this available on its website at. Folks desire Harvard Pilgrim are more than happy to work with any community - and any union in any community - that would like to do the bring home the bacon required to explore this option. But again - we/they need to start now if we/they are going to meet the October 1st deadline established by the equip for signing up. Is this all doable? Yes of course and for the towns with less than 1,000 lives. I would argue it’s imperative that they take a hard be at it starting today. And for what it’s worth. Harvard Pilgrim stands ready to help. But time’s a wastin’. Charlie - What will this do to the bottom lines of companies like HPHC. Tufts and especially BCBS that currently insure the towns and cities that would be joining the GIC at these much displace premiums? Currently towns and cities have deals largely with the local insurers (like the City of Boston with HPHC) and if they move into the GIC they ordain choose from many offerings at lower premiums. I would think there is the possibility that plans like HPHC would end up covering many of the same people at much lower premiums which would cut into your already very thin operating margins. These new GIC members will end up getting largely the same amount of healthcare at a lower premium be and the plans may be footing the bill. I agree it is not billions but it is a significant amount. Sean - I’m not sure it’s that big an issue for us within the GIC if we’re just talking about smaller communities. If you put a few 500-1,000 life groups into the GIC’s 280,000 member assay share the net/net effect on those of us who already do business with the GIC is pretty small - for three reasons. First a small group of people - unless they’re all incredibly expensive - is not going to change the over-arching medical expense of a really really big group desire the GIC. That’s in many ways the primary opportunity in.

It may seem selfish but the site is so well done it just left me hungrier for more.
