NELUMBO, NEPAL, established in 2017 A.D. is a non-profit making, non-governmental organization devoted to serving people in need with its program related to health, education, environment, and awareness. To date, NELUMBO, NEPAL has conducted various health, education, environment, and awareness programs to impact the lives of the poor and marginalized population positively.

In Nepal, most health services are concentrated in metropolitan regions, which restricts access to health care services for the rural population. To fill the gaps in accessing oral and ear health care services in rural areas of Nepal, prioritizing the marginalized population, NELUMBO, NEPAL had launched the “Dental Care and Ear Care” project, under which dental and ear camps are organized in various places to provide quality ear and oral health care services to those in need. Through this project, NELUMBO, NEPAL organized one-day “Free Ear Camp” at Shree Paundhur Basic School in Annapurna Rural Municipality-03, targeting the school students, teachers, and the parents of the school. This camp was conducted to address the often-neglected ear, nose, and throat-related health problems to ensure early diagnosis, timely treatment, and promote health equity.

PREPARATIONS

The camp was conducted at the premises of Shree Paundhur Basic School, Annapurna Rural Municipality-03. One big hall was utilized for check-ups, syringing, and medicine distribution. The registration desk was set up in the same room to ensure easy access for participants to register for the checkup. The overall setup of the camp was carried out by the team on the same morning as the camp.

ACTIVITIES AND ACCOMPLISHMENTS

The service at the camp started at 10:00 AM and continued until 04:30 PM. A total of 127 people registered and were screened during the one-day camp. The structured schedule ensured that all planned procedures, which ranged from initial check-ups and ear cleaning to micro-suctioning, were carried out efficiently within the scheduled time. The major highlights of the camp were:

General Ear Checkups
Ear Syringing
Medicine Distribution
Counseling

The ear screenings for all registered participants were completed during the camp. The primary medical procedures included ear syringing to remove wax or foreign material, examination and management of tympanic membrane.

The OPD findings showed that 1 person had perforations in their tympanic membranes. During the checkup, it was also observed that 39% of people had earwax, which was affecting their hearing to some extent. Ear syringing was performed for 49 students; as the large number of patients needed syringing, a follow-up visit was conducted to complete the procedure for all patients.

CONCLUSION

Shree Paundhur Basic School proved to be one of crucial locations for the ear camp, as most of the people were unaware of the severity of ear-related problems until the camp was conducted. This camp also served as an important means for raising awareness about ear among students and teachers of the school. The services provided through the camp got positive feedback from School Management Committee, local representatives, and local stakeholders.
