Community based Hearing Health Care

MERF & MERF ISH have a very active Community Medicine Department were at least 300 children and adults are screened, diagnosed and treated with all types ENT diseases and communication disorders. Students have the opportunity to visit villages, were no health awareness and facilities are available. The students are accompanied by professionals, were they learn the methods of screening and managing patients were the facilities are very minimal. As the part of the visit they also do awareness program to the people in the village.
As a result we have restored hearing for more than 1500 children living in villages, were there is no medical facilities are available. Now these children have their normal hearing, age matched speech and language skills and leading a normal life. All most all the kids are in normal school, few older children are in universities performing their higher educations. Some of our children who received CI in early years are working Government sector, Private sector, Multi-National Companies And few have them have their own establishment.
