For the healthy growth of mulberry Balt children

The island of Penba is the second largest island in the Balta region of Tanzania. One morning, in the village of Pukini on the island, 6 -year -old Uzby, as usual, climbed up to a small mountain gang to play. He saw several strangers walking towards the village in the distance, and immediately curious to the village entrance. Later, he knew that the people were experts from the third batch of aid mulberry for the prevention and treatment of Balzonbald.

The mulberry with the blue sky and the white sand coconut forest is beautiful, but many local people are suffering from blood suction insect disease. Under the organization of Chinese doctors, Uzby and their friends lined up to wait for the test. According to the results of the test, Chinese experts preliminarily judged that many children on Uzby and the island have been infected by blood suction. After further examination, Uzby and his two compatriots were diagnosed with blood suction disease.

According to the World Health Organization epidemiological survey, Sang Ganbal is an epidemic area of ​​hemorrhoids. Related data show that the average infection rate of blood -taking diseases in Penba Island has reached 15%, causing universal anemia and malnutrition in the mulberry to Balta region.

In order to help local residents get rid of the problem of hemorrhage and insect disease, in May 2014, China signed a memorandum of understanding of the understanding of the cooperation between mulberry to carry out blood suction disease prevention and treatment at the World Health Conference. In January 2017, China and the World Health Organization officially launched a blood -absorbing disease prevention project in the mulberry region. The project lasted for 3 years and provided funds and technical support by China.

Experts from the Institute of Blood Conditional Prevention in Jiangsu Province came to Benba Island in 6 batches. They overcome multiple difficulties in the extreme shortage of supplies on the small island, poor natural conditions, poor awareness of local villagers' health prevention and epidemic prevention, and high risk of infection.

"Before we came, there were still many people in the local area who did not know what was blood -absorbing disease. The first thing we had to do was to popularize education." In order to spread health knowledge, Li Weihe, the third batch of expert group leaders of the Balzon Blood Blood Condor Disease Prevention Project, The team members carried heavy equipment and walked across the island villages on their feet.

There is no electricity in the diagnosis and treatment room, and the players will carry a bundle of wires. When they arrive at the scene, the wires are connected from the distance; without curtains, the players use straw mats to cover the sun to ensure the projection effect of the equipment; without tables and chairs and benches, the players are on the open space on the open space. Sitting on the ground ... By carrying out the supervision of children's use of insect repellent, establishing a database of the water body environment, formulating prevention and control measures, and operating standards, the prevention and control team, the local government and the community jointly constructed a comprehensive prevention and control system for hemorrhage disease.

In order to eliminate the harm to local residents from the source, they must not use the ponds as a daily drinking water source. The prevention and control team cooperated with the local water conservancy department to build a water -absorbent prevention and treatment project in the Manda -Khashi community to benefit more than 2,500 residents in the community. When the water supply pipeline valve slowly turns, the clear water flows out, and the local residents cheer their cheers and celebrate the "life pipeline" that will change their lifestyle.

After three years of comprehensive prevention and control, the hemospermia infection rate in the project demonstration area has fallen from 8.92%to 0.64%, and Uzabi and his brothers have completely restored their health. "Now, the awareness of the prevention and control of community residents has greatly improved. Before that, they did not know that the problem was. The large number of tasks of the prevention and control group made people start to take the initiative to care about their own health. People Salich said.

The WHO evaluated the expert group highly affirmed the huge success of the project, saying that the mulberry administration has basically mastered the popularity of blood -absorbing disease through cooperation with China. Chinese experience and technology have achieved good results. They believe that the project "will become a model for other African countries."

Before the project returned to China, Li Wei and the team members came to Pukini again. Seeing the bright smiles on the children's face again, the dark eyes glowed more glory. "Everyone's hard work, worth it!" Li Wei said comfortably. (Source: "People's Daily")
