How to promote the Hospital project

Show the new hospital presentation(on 1.page of the website www.jadanhospital.org) and speak about.
How is doing Slovenian helpers: One person per yoga center takes care about the Hospital project .He(she) has all information, fliers, DVD – presentation, news etc.
"Once per month we make a 10 minute advertisement for the Hospital: in the middle of the program we show the Hospital presentation and distribute the flyers. If somebody wants to give support the same person is collecting the donations and the 10.Euros registration form". In Slovenia they made a badge with the logo ”YOU TOO CAN SAVE LIFES” and give as a present to the donor. Every coin is filling the pot!Every idea is most welcome!

Best Operation theater

The adjustment of the Operation theater:
We have to make some construction changes in the OT and we started to do it one week ago.The OT should have a high international standard with all possibilities for several kinds of surgery.
Urgently we need a Sonography machine (app. 16 000 euros) which is needed for the Urologist Surgeon as well as for Gynecologist and General Surgeon. A high quality Anesthesia machine is also required (app.25 000 euros) and other items like 2 defibrillators(4000 E) and 3 monitors(6000 E) for intensive care, as well as a ventilator for artificial respiration (see also what we need in www.helphospital.org)
When the operation theater is ready different Surgeon already confirmed that they will come in the beginning for 1 or 2 days per month to operate here and give their services to the population. That’s a great thing and we are looking forward that this will happen soon!

No time to visit the doctors

In this time of the harvesting many farmers and labors are very busy and don’t have
time to come to such an occasion like the camp. Specially the MEDA (known as HENNA, see picture) is growing in this deserted area and can be collected in this time. Agriculture in Rajasthan is very difficult due to the hot climate of the desert.In this time the workers get a very high salary per hour for their herb collecting work. They are waiting the whole year for earning a large amount of money from henna harvesting. This Henna(used for red color spec. in cosmetics) is very famous and will be exported in the whole world. This is the basis for the prosperity of the farmers in the region and that’s why they put priority on their income and not on their health condition.

Camp advertisment - service for all

Advertisment for the free medical camps and the Hospital:
Two or three days before a camp is starting our car with 3 stuff members is making tours in the surrounding area for the advertisement and in the village itself where the camp takes place. They are speaking in loudspeakers and distributing the pamphlets. in all surrounding area The pamphlets with all details are prepared from our very active and excellent manager. M. Gelhot, who makes a great job. Our hospital team is very motivated and try its best to make our Hospital successful.

Sangeetas story as an eyepatient

Sangeeta Bhera Ramji, eye patient, her story
“ Iam a 30 old woman, labor, working in the fields, unmarried, living alone with my mother in Gundoj, a village 40km away from Jadan. Two years ago during my work in the fields, a stick of wood was pushed in my right eye, causing much pain. I didn’t go to any doctor for treatment of this injury. My right eye was burning and water flow out all the time and it was painful. I didn’t go to the doctor because still I could see. And I have to work to earn money for my mother and me. In the last 3 month my eyesight became worth. I could not see properly any more and was unable to do my work. Till 6 month my right eye became nearly blind. Thanks to God my brother Ramesh Garg gave us some money so that we could survive. My brother saw in the newspaper the announcement of the Camp in the Sri Swami Madhavananda Austria Hospital and that’s why I could come here. I have been operated on the 13.11. and I can see now on both eyes. I can not describe you how happy I am. The operation was successful, I can now live a normal life and I am not any more handicapped. “
Please donate for further eye operations. 1 operation cost only 30 Euros. Thank you.

Why so many eye diseases in Rajasthan?

The causes for severe eye diseases and blindness in Rajasthan are:
+ infections due to poor hygiene conditions
+ lack of vitamin A, needed for the retina of the eye
+ Sunlight. Near Jodhpur,the "sun city", in Metania,is the village with the most sun days of the world!
+ people don't protect their eyes with glasses
+ people work the whole day in the fields without eye protection
+ the ultra violet light of the sun and the heat causes coagulation of the protein of the eye lenses, and blindness due to cataract disease is the consequence.
+ diabetes rate is high
That´s why examination and treatment from eye specialists is needed.And prevention of course too.

Dental camp in Sarowar

Dr. Abishek, dental sergeant of our hospital, attended the dental camp in Sarowar, just a few hours in the south of Jadan. He examined 200 people in need. The most part of them will be treated in the Sri Swami Madhavananda Austria Hospital.We have already 2 modern, well equipped dental chairs there, for all kind of therapies.The dental camp was announced in the local newspapers and was very successful.

The first patient on the new Dental chair was SWAMI AVATARPURI, who was really a brave,peaceful and very good patient.He is now an example for all other children. He was also the first one to GIVE a DONATION in the donation box, which stood very secretly in the dental department. He came in the room and first thing he did: he emptied all his pockets from money which he had collected before. It was a big surprise, because before many people where already there - but no one gave a donation. So Swami Avatarpuri is a very special young Sadhu with a big heart!

Jadan Health Program

In December 2009 started the JADAN HEALTH PROGRAM. In this program the children of the Jadan school will be instructed about ways to maintain good health. The first lecture was about dental hygiene. It will be followed by the topic - "What is healthy vegeterian food". The children and the teacher accepted the program with lot of joy!And some of them had for the first time a toothbrush in their hands.
