Opis

Blood transfusion is a medical act that saves many lives in Dibaya Territory. Blood safety remains a major problem because the need for blood is greater than the supply. Several cases of anaemia are frequent. To overcome this difficulty, regular awareness-raising and encouragement of volunteer donors are developed in Saint François, although the area is very poor financially. Preventive measures are essential to fight against intestinal worms which are very contagious: wash your hands before and after meals, go to the toilet, cut your nails, wash your clothes and sheets regularly, treat your pets regularly with deworming products, only drink water declared as drinkable, do not swim in fresh water, do not walk barefoot, even on the beach, and walk on wet ground with closed shoes. The Saint François hospital has put in place several strategies to fight against parasitosis: health education, mass deworming campaign to contribute to the improvement of the health of this community of Tshimbulu.
