Health Seminar 2006
Over the week of the 23rd – 27th September Community Action Nepal held an Annual Health Seminar in Kathmandu. This is an opportunity for all the CAN community health staff to meet together to discuss various health issues as well as to receive specialised training from professional colleagues working within in the Nepalese Health Service. This year 16 CAN community health staff enjoyed various presentations and in turn gave reports on the work they are undertaking at CAN Health Posts and within the communities. The speakers included Dr Hira Pradhan on ‘Recognising the signs and symptoms of Leprosy’, Dr Premila Pradhan on ‘Natal Care’, Dr Manohar Shrestha on ‘Community Health Issues’ and Dr Mohmohan Shrestha on ‘Eye Health’.
Other CAN staff gave presentations on the history, role and work of CAN in the remote hill districts, the organisation, the structure and finance of CAN. The Seminar concluded with presentations to the doctors for their contributions to the event. This was followed by a presentation to Kalpana Khadha Bhatta from the Kutumsang Health Post who sadly leaves CAN’s service to devote more time to her family. On a more joyous note CAN welcomed Shanta Pathak who has taken over Kalpana’s role at Kutumsang.
A warm welcome to Shanta Pathak |
