Bidi Hunga: le nostre carte sanitarie entrano in consultazione
Il 24 ottobre, circa 100 pazienti hanno partecipato alla nostra giornata di accoglienza presso il nostro centro Bidi Hunga, a tre ore di distanza Rumah Kambera. Per la prima volta, le nostre 16 card sanitarie in lingua indonesiana hanno partecipato alle consultazioni, aiutando i pazienti a scegliere le azioni pratiche da intraprendere a casa, insieme ai farmaci necessari e alle ulteriori cure.
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.
