- Notes
- Irene went to Nawampiti to mobilize the members in the lower section,check out on the general hygiene of homes,pregnant mothers,breast feeding mothers,children for hygiene and nutrition. Irene together with the VHT moved from home to home in the lower section that was named section B of the village since the village was divided into two sections A and B,in this section the health education program is targeting 30 house holds since the upper section has more house holds 61 in total which gives a total of 91 homes as per the house holds in this village as for now. Irene moved from home to home informing the members about the new meeting point for the members in their area, explaining the reason for getting them a new meeting point,objectives of the program, reaching out to all the members for their co- operation,turning up in large numbers to learn about their health , inquires on various health issues,pregnant mothers,breastfeeding mothers,children,elderly for advise on prenatal,antenatal,postnatal,hygiene,and nutrition,men,youths,and women informing them that all are welcome to attend. On addition to that Irene also observed several health issues that she advised accordingly,made referrals for immediate attention, like in two homes where she found children with symptoms of malaria but the mothers had bathed them with local herbs and thought that was enough for the fever to come down.Irene advised these mothers to immediately take the children to hospital because Incase the fever goes so high they may convulse which may cause brain damage. Irene informed the members that she will be meeting them on Monday the next week for a lesson and more clarification about the programs encouraging all the members to pass on the communication and come with others.
