UHC Day 2024

 UHC Day 2024 Theme: Health: it's on the government!

When populations are healthy, communities and economies prosper. That is why this Universal Health Coverage Day 2024 we call on decision makers around the world to protect people from financial hardship when accessing health services. 

It is the responsibility of governments to ensure that healthcare is always affordable or free, particularly for the poorest and most vulnerable among us. 

Background : Each year on 12 December, the world celebrates International Universal Health Coverage Day (UHC Day), an official UN-designated day, to raise awareness of the need for strong, equitable and resilient health systems and universal health coverage (UHC). 

UHC Day marks the anniversary of the UN’s historic and unanimous endorsement of UHC in 2012 as an essential priority for international development. Since then, it has become the annual rallying point for the growing movement for health for all. 

Every 12 December (12.12), advocates raise their voices to share the stories of the millions of people still waiting for health, to call on leaders to make smarter investments in health and to remind the world the imperative of Health for All.

The high cost of health services is the primary reason people miss out on essential health care. These costs often force families to choose between paying for medicines or a visit to the doctor and other necessities, such as food, housing and education.

Health costs and illness should never push people into poverty! Investing in universal health coverage and financial protection not only enhances health and well-being but also fosters greater equity and social cohesion.

Everyone should have access to an affordable core package of essential health services, including quality medicines. No-one should be pushed into poverty when accessing these services.

Strengthening healthcare system resilience with a focus on primary health care is key to maintaining and strengthening essential health services amid our new normal by Trinity Care Foundation : www.trinitycarefoundation.com/covid19/ Establishing safe and effective patient flow (including screening for COVID-19, triage and targeted referral) remains critical at all levels. Many routine and elective services have been suspended, and existing delivery approaches are being adapted to the evolving pandemic context as the risk–benefit analysis for any given activity changes. When the delivery of essential health services comes under threat, effective governance and coordination mechanisms, and protocols for service prioritization and adaptation, can mitigate the risk of outright system failure. #covid #outreach #corporatesocialresponsibility #kerala #karnataka #mandya #yadgir #kolar #doctors #nurses #maharashtra #bengaluru #bangalore #ramanagara #medical #mumbai #tamilnadu #sdgs #gratitude #empathy #helpingothers #giveaway #community #hospitals #safety #pandemic #CSR #India 🎗️

Sight test and glasses could dramatically improve the lives of children with poor vision

A simple sight test and eyeglasses could make a dramatic difference to the lives of more than 150 million people who are suffering from poor vision. Children fail at school, adults are unable to work and families are pushed into poverty as a result of uncorrected visual impairment.

Free Spectacles provided by Trinity Care Foundation to students in low-income schools in Karnataka state, India. 

Correction of refractive errors is a simple and cost-effective intervention in eye care,” said Dr Serge Resnikoff, Coordinator of WHO’s Chronic Disease Prevention and Management unit. “Now that we know the extent of the problem of uncorrected refractive errors, especially in low and middle income countries, we must re-double our efforts to ensure that every person who needs help is able to receive it.”

Refractive errors occur when the eye is not able to correctly focus images on the retina. The result is blurred vision, which is sometimes so severe that it creates functional blindness for affected individuals. The three most common refractive errors are:

1. Myopia (nearsightedness) – this is difficulty in seeing distant objects clearly.
2. Hyperopia also known as Hypermetropia (farsightedness) – this is difficulty is seeing close objects clearly.
3. Astigmatism – This is distorted vision resulting from an irregularly curved cornea.

Key messages to protect heart health

Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are disorders of the heart and blood vessels and include coronary heart disease, cerebrovascular disease, rheumatic heart disease and other conditions. Four out of five CVD deaths are due to heart attacks and strokes. Individuals at risk of CVD may demonstrate raised blood pressure, glucose, and lipids as well as overweight and obesity. These can all be easily measured in primary care facilities. Identifying those at highest risk of CVDs and ensuring they receive appropriate treatment can prevent premature deaths. Access to essential NCD medicines and basic health technologies in all primary health care facilities is essential to ensure that those in need receive treatment and counselling.

WHO estimates that more than 17.5 million people died of cardiovascular diseases such as heart attack or stroke in 2012. Contrary to popular belief, more than 3 out of 4 of these deaths occurred in low- and middle-income countries, and men and women were equally affected.

The good news, however, is that 80% of premature heart attacks and strokes are preventable. Healthy diet, regular physical activity, and not using tobacco products are the keys to prevention. Checking and controlling risk factors for heart disease and stroke such as high blood pressure, high cholesterol and high blood sugar or diabetes is also very important.

• Eat a healthy diet: A balanced diet is crucial to a healthy heart and circulation system. This should include plenty of fruit and vegetables, whole grains, lean meat, fish and pulses with restricted salt, sugar and fat intake. Alcohol should also be used in moderation.
• Take regular physical activity: At least 30 minutes of regular physical activity every day helps to maintain cardiovascular fitness; at least 60 minutes on most days of the week helps to maintain healthy weight.
• Avoid tobacco use: Tobacco in every form is very harmful to health - cigarettes, cigars, pipes, or chew-able tobacco. Exposure to second-hand tobacco smoke is also dangerous. The risk of heart attack and stroke starts to drop immediately after a person stops using tobacco products, and can drop by as much as half after 1 year.

Check and control your overall cardiovascular risk: An important aspect of preventing heart attacks and strokes is by providing treatment and counselling to individuals at high risk (those with a 10 year cardiovascular risk equal to or above 30%) and reducing their cardiovascular risk. A health worker can estimate your cardiovascular risk using simple risk charts and provide the appropriate advice for managing your risk factors.

1. Know your blood pressure: High blood pressure usually has no symptoms, but is one of the biggest causes of sudden stroke or heart attack. Have your blood pressure checked and know your numbers. If it is high, you will need to change your lifestyle to incorporate a healthy diet with less salt intake and increase physical activity, and may need medications to control your blood pressure.
2. Know your blood lipids: Raised blood cholesterol and abnormal blood lipids increase the risk of heart attacks and strokes. Blood cholesterol needs to be controlled through a healthy diet and, if necessary, by appropriate medications.
3. Know your blood sugar: Raised blood glucose (diabetes) increases the risk of heart attacks and strokes. If you have diabetes it is very important to control your blood pressure and blood sugar to minimize the risk.

Goals for the Outreach Program

Outreach Program is a community-based program targeted to improve outreach and service delivery in local and regional rural communities.  The goals for the Outreach Program are the following:

1. Expand the delivery of health care services to include new and enhanced services exclusively in rural communities 
2. Deliver health care services through a strong consortium, in which every consortium member organization is actively involved and engaged in the planning and delivery of services 
3. Utilize and/or adapt an evidence-based or promising practice model(s) in the delivery of health care services 
4. Improve population health, demonstrate health outcomes and sustainability 

Proposed projects will have an outcomes-oriented approach that will enhance and sustain the delivery of effective health care in rural communities.  Proposed projects will be grounded in an evidence-based or promising practice model(s) in order to avoid “reinventing the wheel”.

Projects based on an evidence-based or promising practice model have shown to be effective in addressing the community’s need, improving the health status of its residents and sustaining the project beyond Federal funding.  Outreach projects can take the framework or methodology of an evidence-based or promising practice model and tailor it to their community’s need and organization.

Why the need for Vision screening in Schools ?

Vision problem affects 13.5 million children and almost quarter of adolescents overall 12-17% children are reported to have eye vision problems. Poor vision in children affects performance in school or at work and has definite negative influence on the future of the child. Myopic children have trouble reading the black board notes or digital character of the class room presentation material displayed on screening.

School screening for vision in children is very essential and need to be made mandatory. Perhaps teachers and parents can help children who may be struggling with few vision conditions like squinting narrowing of eyes, headache, turning of eyes inwards, outward blurred vision, holding books too close all these need vision screening.

School Screening program by Trinity Care Foundation

Children with blindness suffer long years of disability which severely impacts their overall development and restrains them from any meaningful participation in social and economic activities. Uncorrected Refractive Error (URE) is one of the major reasons for visual impairment among children, especially in the age group of 5-15 years, with Myopia leading the list of refractive errors.

A post shared by Dr. Tony Thomas (@drtonythomas) on Oct 26, 2016 at 9:29am PDT

Children usually don't complain of defective vision especially if only one eye is involved. They may not even be aware of their problem. They adjust to the poor eyesight by sitting near the blackboard, holding the book closer to their eyes, squeezing the eyes and even avoiding work requiring visual concentration. This evades early detection. Timely detection of these problems and their correction by spectacles can tremendously improve the child's potential during his formative years. Visual impairment is an avoidable burden in the life of a child, his family and the society. Periodic screening of all children helps in early identification of visual defects and correction of REs, by prescription/use of corrective spectacles.

 In India it is estimated that 2-3 % of school children in rural areas have refractive error. In the urban areas the proportion is even higher. One study shows that 5.1% of children in schools had visual acuity of <6/12 in the better eye.
