Mobile medicine
S
arubai Salve goes to work twice a day. She leaves her
home once at nine o'clock in the morning and then
again at six o'clock in the evening to visit people in her
village of Jawalke. The village has about 240 families
and, with another woman called Babai Sathe, Sarubai is
responsible for the health of the village. The women visit
pregnant women and give medicine to some of the older
people. Today they are visiting their first patient. Rani Kale
doesn't come from Jawalke. She lives about an hour away but
her village doesn't have anyone like Sarubai to help mothers-
to-be. Sarubai is checking Rani and she is worried about the
position of the baby. Rani might need to go to hospital.
Half an hour later, Sarubai and Babai visit another mother
with a three-month-old baby. While they are checking the
baby, Sarubai also gives the mother advice on nutrition and
vaccinations. Jawalke is a very different place because of the
two women. They regularly deliver babies and continue to
help as the child grows up. There is a shortage of doctors in
this region, so village health workers are important because
they can give preventative medicine and advice about health.
New health workers go for two weeks of intensive training
and then they receive ongoing training. A mobile team visits
Jawalke once a week. The team includes a nurse and a doctor.
The mobile team meets with Sarubai and they look at any
of her patients with serious medical problems. The health
workers are an important connection between the mobile
team and the local people. Currently there are 300 village
health workers in the region and the number is growing.
5 Which of these statements is true
about the health workers?
a They only deliver babies,
b They do the same job as doctors,
c They have many different
responsibilities.
6 How much training do they receive?
a None. They learn it all from books,
b Two weeks only on a course.
c Two weeks and then more training
while they are working.
7 What is the purpose of the mobile
team?
a To do the job of the health workers,
b To provide more medical help,
c To train the health workers.
8 How do we know from the article that
the village health project is successful?
a Because they are training more
health workers,
b Because patients say they are
happy with their health workers,
c Because the region doesn't need
any more doctors.
