Malnutrition

Malnutrition, illness and medical treatment in hospital

Hundreds of children from Dhadgaon and Akkalkuva taluks of Nandurbar district die because of malnutrition and absence of treatment during various illness. Though painful It is a bitter truth.

A small organization like Shabari seva samiti took up this problem as challenge and started working on it. Organization received a solid support from Dr. Alka Kulkarni from Shahada. Volunteers of the organization move around, locate malnourished children, bring and admit them in kulkarni hospital for treatment. Dr. Alka Kulkarni, her staff and family members take their care and treat them. Some minor operations are also done in this hospital if required. This work is continuously being done from 2010 -11. Till date we are able to save lives of thousands of children. Looking at the need and to keep continuity Dr. Alka kulkarni has created a separate ward of ten to twelve beds for these children.

Due to the selfless service by Dr. Alka Kulkarni, untiring efforts of volunteers of the organization of that area, and financial support of numerous donors has made this belief of service to the patient is service to the God practicable.
