Bidi Hunga: nos cartes de santé sont entrées dans la consultation
Le 24 octobre, environ 100 patients ont participé à notre journée de soins à Bidi Hunga, à trois heures de route Rumah Kambera. Pour la première fois, nos 16 cartes de santé en Bahasa Indonesia ont participé aux consultations, aidant les patients à choisir les mesures à prendre à domicile, ainsi que les médicaments nécessaires et les soins supplémentaires.
On 24 October, our team travelled three hours from Rumah Kambera to Bidi Hunga, where around one hundred patients of all ages attended a community care day. Our 16 illustrated health cards in Bahasa Indonesia were used in consultations for the first time.
With a health worker, patients could choose one or two practical actions: safer drinking water, handwashing with soap, less smoke exposure or appropriate wound care. The cards also explain warning signs and when to seek help. These actions complement necessary medicines and professional care.
The next step is to understand what families can realistically put into practice. A consultation ends, but its advice needs to remain useful at home. Our new field report describes this first use and the work needed to support continuity of care.
