Re: No care at Care Centres, lament HIV members-GOA

[Guest guest]

Dear Forum,

Indeed I do agree with mary and I do thank her for putting up the ground

realities of the functioning of CCCs. At some point of time there were days that

CCCs are the only centres where PLHA's got treatment of their OI's with Care and

LOVE and I still stand by it that CCCs  are the only centres for PLHA's where

they dont need to stand in a long queues and push around for their test etc

etc..

Nurses and Care workers were stictly instructed to talk to the patients with

love and affection and above that they recieve nutrition of good quality and in

some cases they even were given clothings etc.

Counseling services  were far better than anywhere with its minimal load as

compared to  govt hospitals.

For a minor fever or ailment if one go to Goverement Hospitals, one need to

spend the whole day starting from 6am from home to get the OPD card and than

continue the taxing process of waiting for the doctor then comes the other part

to get their blodd tested/X-rays etc.Wheras in CCC the patients need not wait at

all..

Maybe there are some erring CCCs and some good ones  while some are  set up just

to make money..maybe some centres are not run properly but whatever it, is the

very purpose of CCC cannot be defeated just because  CCC abide by thier

guidelines.

With the efficient leadership of Dr. B.B Rewari and Dr.Suchitra I do hope our

National Programme as it always move towards betterment will continue to do so.

 

regards

Henry
