Health workers trek 10 km to reach remote villages

Two women health workers with their teams trekked 10 km through steep terrain and hilly forests to conduct health checkups of people in tribal-dominated Jhalwasa village in Balrampur district of Chhatisgarh. The district administration is running health camps in the tribal-dominated inaccessible villages located in dense forests in Balrampur. The camps are being run by the joint team of Health Department and Women and Child Development Department. To reach Jhalwasa which falls under Sabag Gram Panchayat, one has to cross through a hilly and inaccessible forest path of about 10 kilometres. There are about 28 households of which about 20 are from special backward tribes. The team included two women health workers Halmi Tirkey and Suchita Singh. “We walked for around 10 km. We come here to conduct health check-ups of villagers,” Halmi said.
