Through the project Healthcare of indigenous Tsotsil children, Chiapas, Sanando Heridas work to strengthen the health of boys and girls who do not have public health services and are in a state of vulnerability in localities in the Tsotsil region of Los Altos in Chiapas, México

As we mentioned in the previous report last October, we inaugurated the dental care consultation in the localities and an office at the Sanando Heridas clinic in San Cristóbal de las Casas with great acceptance from medical consultation users. From October to date, we have provided 303 dental care consultations with 45% follow-up, 21% of which were for children under 14 years of age, 62% of which have been carried out in the community.

In addition to all this, we have facilitated 22 oral health prevention workshops (in the mother tongue) at the preschool and primary level in 7 rural schools.

By having poor dental care, boys and girls suffer from intense pain, affecting their nutrition and growth. This also leads them to stop attending school or not pay adequate attention to classes, thus affecting their quality of life.

Thanks to people like you, these important programs can be carried out in the localities of care.

Thank you so much

Aceptación del programa de salud bucal

 

A través del proyecto  Healthcare of indigenous tsotsil children, Chiapas,  Sanando Heridas trabaja fortaleciendo la salud de niños y niñas que no cuentan con servicios públicos de salud y se encuentran en estado de vulnerabilidad en localidades de la región tsotsil de los Altos en Chiapas.

Como hicimos mención en el informe anterior del mes de octubre pasado, inauguramos la consulta de atención dental en las localidades y un consultorio en la clínica de Sanando Heridas en San Cristóbal de las Casas con gran aceptación de los usuarios de consulta médica. Del mes de octubre a la fecha otorgamos 303 consultas de atención dental con un 45% de seguimiento de estas, siendo el 21% de atención a menores de 14 años, el 62% se ha llevado a cabo en comunidad.

Aunado a todo esto, hemos facilitado 22 talleres de prevención en salud bucal (en lengua materna) a nivel preescolar y primaria en 7 escuelas rurales.

Al tener una atención dental deficiente los niños y las niñas padecen de dolores intensos, afectando a su alimentación y crecimiento. Esto también los lleva a dejar de asistir a la escuela o no poner atención adecuada a las clases, afectando así, su calidad de vida.

Gracias a personas como tú, estos importantes programas se pueden llevar a cabo en las localidades de atención.

Muchas gracias
