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

[Guest guest]

Dear Forum,

Re: /message/10888

It is very sad to see the comments made by Positive network.

I volunteer in one of the CCC supported by SACS and they are getting strict

orders from NACO to not do any major OI management except doing counselling, out

reach and treat minor symptoms like cough, fever, etc.

 

I guess NACO should communicate the role of CCC to all positive networks. CCC

staff are penalized if they do any medical care except minor symptoms. At one

level CCC want to do more medical care and at other level their hands are tied

and they have been cautioned that the CCCs that offer major medical care will be

seized.

 

At another level, the people who are making these allegations against CCC are

not realizing the budget for other components such as HR, recurring costs, rent,

etc. They are only talking about other costs such as food. How the hell CCC get

an out reach worker for Rs. 3000/-salary when a house maid can make much more

than this.

 

If NGOs have to really bring out the truth out with evidence, more

discrimination is happening at Positive networks than any where else for

positive women.

 

If Positive network want to take up the CCC work, there are other ways to

approach government rather than doing false accusations on CCCs that are really

doing service and fighting with goverment to change the protocol to major OI

care.

 

While CCCs wish to do lot of work, the guidelines are not in favour to do more

work apart from admitting only cases for ART monitoring and psycho social care.

 

If this continues where NACO does not allow CCC to do good work and PLHA start

blaming CCC doing things purposefully, probably no PLHA will have any medical

care in future by NGOs.

 

Most often, some PLHA forget that all care initiatives have been started by HIV

negative people and i dont understand how these people keep saying that only

positive can understand positive.

Infact PLHA exploit PLHA rather than supporting.

See the issue both sides rather than blaming the work done by Good NGOs.

Dear sir

Almost all NGOs who those are working for Care & Support for PLHAs are not

performing properly. Simaltaneously Positivenetworks also not been actively

participating in the implementation of ditrict programmes.

First they should be the role model and fight with govt or local NGOs to get

services , in the same time they can pressure the NGOs to provide proper

services without misusing of national grants.
