AREA
PROFILE / BACKGROUND:
|
Gurase Valley the most captivating
but remote and backward area is located in District Neelum Azad Kashmir at a
Longitude of E 74 “33’ 56.0962” and Latitude N 34 “48’ 45.633” covering an
area of 52,817 ha, lying between 2,017m to 4,345m elevation. The area is
situated at line of control (LOC) at height of 10000-14550 Ft between India
and Pakistan. It is bounded by the Astore (Northern
Areas) to the North, with Indian Occupied
Kashmir to the South and Southeast, Muzaffarabad District to the Southwest and Kaghan Valley to
the West. It has population of 38,428
(25,000 population in 2007 UNICEF survey) individuals and consists of 36
villages and 8 wards. The area is very beautiful having abundant of Natural
Resources (Forests, Wild Life, Glaciers, Lakes, Water, Mushrooms, Medicinal
Plants, Precious Stones) and have a great potential for tourism.
SOCIO-ECONOMIC CONDTIONS: The socio economic condition of community is
very poor. The community is mostly (88%) depending upon agriculture,
livestock and seasonal labour work in Big Cities for their livelihood. In the
area no any business or factory existed. Only 7% are engaged in Government
& Army Service, 2 % in Private Job (in other cities), 3 % Business at
micro level.
COMMUNICATION & ACCESS: UC Gurase is
170 KM away from District Muzaffarabad, 80 KM away from Authmuqam (District
Head Quarter) Neelum and the road is un-mattled from Tehsil Sharda to onward.
The local transport is Jeep / Toyota as here the travel is possible only on
4x4 Vehicle. There is no communication system (except three satellite PCOs),
and in this Modern Technology era here the people use letters by post for
communication. The road is closed in
winter during snow fall for almost 4 months.
EDUCATION:
Government of AJ&K is claiming that over
all literacy rate in District Neelum is 50% while it’s less than 25 % in
Union Council Gurase. While the literacy rate among females is below 11 % in
the Union Council. There are not sufficient educational facilities in Gurase
Valley, whereas Government has provided only 1 Girls High School and 2 boys
High School, remaining schools are primary level in Gurase. Mostly schools
(especially primary schools) still haven’t buildings. Furthermore the
laboratories and other facilities are nowhere. The parents who can afford,
their children have to go outside the valley for college and university
education. The existed schools have no proper facilities, equipment and
Laboratories. The shortage of staff and availability of competent teacher is
a serious concern. The existence of library, extra curriculum and quality
education is a question mark.
HEALTH:
Health and hygienic condition of the valley
is even much worse than any part of the world. There are only two Basic
Health Units (BHUs) in the whole union Council which are almost out of
medicines. One BHU (Janawai) is lead by a Dispenser / Nurse, while in the
other BHU (Halmat) an Army MBBS Doctor is providing services. In winter
season when the whole valley is ice-covered and temperature falls down from
the freezing point, people could not reach to hospitals of Kel &
Authmuqam so they have to use local herbs for treatment. And many people
especially women and children die during winter because of absence of medical
facilities. Doctor or Lady Doctor and gynecologist are still not appointed by
the government even in the whole district so a number of the women have to
die during pregnancy complications. A 65 KM long Valley with population of 38,000
persons has no ambulance facility.
CASTE & CREED: Population of
the Gurase is Sunni Muslim and is cluster of different tribes who speak
Shina, Kashmiri, hindko and Gojri. Living a simple life, community is still
attached with their culture, norms and history.
MICRO INFRASTRUCTURE: UNDP has worked in Gurase during 1997-99, it includes 2 Water
Supply Schemes and 01 Hydro Power. . While AJKCDP (IFAD funded Project) and
PCRET have constructed 10 Micro Hydro Power Projects in UC Gurase. These are
worsely affected in the 2010 flood as well as Irrigation Channel, Village
Paths, Bridges and Floor Mills. Some projects are rehabilitated by community
through self help basis. However there is urgent need to rehabilitate such
valuable schemes.

PROJECT
JUSTIFICATION:
|
The condition
of maternal and child health is very poor in UC Gurase. An estimated 9-15
women die each year due to pregnancy related causes; while the death ratios
is high among new born babies. In the Village Phullawai / Marnot during last
three months, 6 children died during / after birth and there are number of
women who have infertility for ever during pregnancy due to un-availability
of proper treatment and services of surgeon / gynecologist in the whole UC;
even there is no such female gynecologist in the whole District Neelum. The
District Headquarter Hospital (DHQ) Authmuqam and RHC Kel have the Lady
Health Visitors (LHVs) who haven’t expertise on such cases.
When the women visit to the local BHUs of Government, there is
no arrangement for delivery and treatment. For delivery / check up purposes women have
to travel to Muzaffarabad city 170 KM away from Gurase Valley. While the
travel at dangerous road without facility of ambulance is simply a life
threat. This mobility is completely blocked during heavy snowfall for 04 months.
Thus the women have to depend upon the traditional birth system with the limited
indigenous knowledge.
During the rapid need assessment
(RNA) in District Neelum; SDO identified UC Gurase Valley as the most
vulnerable & remote area; deprived; and no support from government and
NGOs. There are several needs of community of UC Gurase identified, while
prioritized the need of health and educational. Keeping above mentioned
grounds (crucial problems facing by women of Gurase Valley), SDO has planned
to request donor to establish Maternal
and Child Care Center in UC Gurase. In this center all cases relevant to
mother and child will be handled. Mothers will be educated to take care of
themselves and their children, proper nutrition and health care plan will be
given to them. Local women will have easy access to this center and they will
not bear the travelling expenses to Muzaffarabad. LHV and Mid Wife will be
fully trained with the support of any organization working for health
promotion. About more than 15000 population
will get direct benefit of this centre.
|
METHODOLOGY
/ WORK PLAN
SDO team has collaborated with the
Local community based organizations (CBOs) in Gurase Valley for support to
provide the building for maternity and child care center. A house is currently
acquired to establish and run for the centre. A trained nurse and midwife will
be hired by the Local community / HMC. Donor will support
financially for purchasing of surgical instruments, furniture, Delivery room
reconstruction and a used 4x4 Ambulance for the centre. In the area only 4x4
vehicle can travel; so used 4x4 Vehicle will be procured at low cost for the
ambulance. It will help the female for movement from centre to main hospital
away 80 KM to 190 KM. The project will be implemented by SDO; while all the
project operations will be run smoothly under supervision of SDO team and the
local committee HMC. The project will follow the process of participatory
development by organization.
(HMC) will be formed to overall
monitoring and look after the project implementation. HMC will consist of 5-7
members from local community, local organization and SDO management. These all
members will ensure the smooth implementation of the project as well its
sustainability. Health Management Committee (HMC) will involve in the process
of implementation, monitoring, evaluation and sustainability of this project at
all levels. A proper check and balance of all activities will be recorded by
nominated SDO staff members. After completion of the project; the M&CC
Centre launching ceremony will be organized in which officials from the DHQ
will be invited.
AMBULANCE
OPERATIONS METHODOLOGY
SDO Field Team of District Neelum will
be directly responsible for the operations of the ambulance. The ambulance will
be placed at Maternity & Child Care Centre in Phullawai, which is the
central point of Gurase Valley approachable to rest of UC in quick response
time. SDO will depute a driver for managing the vehicle with care. Driver will
have a log book and the travel Request forum. On patient family request the
Information Desk Officer will inform the driver who will be responsible to drop
patient at the destination (DHQ Authmuqam, CMH Muzaffarabad, PIMS Islamabad
etc). Driver will be trained on first aid and emergency aid by SDO; will keep
capacitating the ambulance team on need basis.
The core competence of the SDO is
strong networking and group of volunteers in District Neelum. For effective and
efficient use of the resources SDO will utilize its volunteer groups and other
networks to meet the challenges of poor communication and other hurdles. In
each village SDO volunteer will be focal person to correspond with ambulance
team. The village focal person will have complete information regarding the
help desk which will be established in Centre. For communication purposes SDO
will utilize its functioning communication system of walkie talkie. Also the Centre
staff will have liaison with 03 satellite PCOs functioning in the targeted UC.
For public awareness raising SDO will display charts at central location in
each village which will contain information regarding the walkie talkie.
To meet the operational expenses of
the ambulance and driver and desk information officer salary SDO will charge
fuel expenses to patient family with nominal / marginal fee. The beneficiaries
of the ambulance service will be categorized in 04 categories; those who have
good income and can afford fuel expense, patient families with low to middle
income and can partially afford the fuel expense and third categories of women
headed and disable headed households.
