As the COVID scythes its way across the world, our little valley was not spared too. A smattering of positives in the surrounding villages. Most had mild symptoms. The PHC staff, ANMs and ASHA workers took good care, ensuring quarantine of the affected persons. So also the Village Volunteers who contributed their mite to ensuring the safety and welfare of their villages. All have recovered and are back to their normal lives.
Our patient load has been a steady 40 - 50 patients daily. This is a far cry from our normal daily load of 120 - 130. Lack of transport and fear of COVID are the 2 prime factors. Our numbers tell the story. This has affected our finances. Income has dropped quite a bit.
TOTAL PATIENTS: 2960
Under 15s: 45 - 29, Over 65s: 531: 449, Adults: 936:970
