Humsafar Trust health post for Mumbai flood affected people

[Guest guest]

The Humsafar Trust with assistance from the Mumbai Municipal Corporation has set

up a health post at its Vakola Center in Santacruz. The doctors at the health

post are looking into various diseases that have erupted due to massive flooding

in the last one week.

The medical services are available to all affected people. A team of 10

outreach workers from Humsafar Trust have been working selflessly since Monday

in the Santacruz East, Vakola, Kalina and kurla areas. They are visiting every

residential colony informing people about the medical services and helping

people access treatment at the health post.

However the flow of people walking into the health post has been so high that we

are facing extreme shortage of medicines. We have made an appeal to Sion

Hospital, KEM Hospital and Hospital to help us access medicines. But at

the moment these hospitals are also facing a shortage and we badly need some

basic medicines right away.

We appeal to everyone to help us buy medicines so that the services at the

health post can continue uninterrupted. We are not looking for cash or cheque

donations but request to buy some medicines and send to it our center in

Santacruz.

If anybody finds it difficult to send the drugs to us you can call us on

26650547 / 26673800 ( Contact person : Girish Kumar ) and we will send our staff

member to get it collected from a convenient place in MUMBAI and THANE region.

We need the following medicines

1) Tablet Doxy

2) Tablet Flagyl

3) Tablet Chloroquine

4) Tablet Septron

5) Micogel cream

6) Soframycin cream

The medicines can be procured from local chemists and can be given at
