SAY NO TO DRUG AND ALCOHOL ABUSE” : A DAY WITH THE INMATES OF PERINTHALMANNA SUBJAIL 

                                                                             Athira.B.M, 5^th year Pharm.D                                                                                                                                                                          

                                                                                                           

        Now a days drug and alcohol abuse has become the easiest weapon to destruct developing nations including India. The society has many black forces like the insurgents and terrorists who lure young men and women into abusing narcotics and other controlled substances. An increasing number of youth have become slaves to such drugs. Unless something is done to stop this social harm, an individual, a society or even a country as a whole will not be able to grow and flourish. So on this republic day, we being the future of India, decided raise our voice against this act. As budding clinical pharmacist, we came up with an idea to organize a one day awareness programme on the “ Drug and Alcohol abuse” for the in mates of Perinthalmanna sub jail, to give awareness on the deadly consequences of such abuse, because, we thought a jail would be the best place to conduct this programme.        As such programmes have not been carried out much, we were really excited to see how the event would turn out to be. We were eager to know how the inmates would respond to the class. However, to our surprise they were all really co-operative and listened carefully throughout the session with true interest and enthusiasm. We explained about the most commonly abused substances, how these are abused, how a person becomes addicted to them and the effects this addiction can have on the health and future of the individual, family, economy, society and the nation. We also mentioned about the various de addiction programmes available. At the end of the session we also had direct interaction with the inmates and cleared their doubts on this topic.

         Overall it was a wonderful experience and we are really satisfied for doing something valuable for our nation on the republic day. Our Mahathmaji spent his entire life denouncing and campaigning against drugs and alcohol abuse. Let us work together to build the nation of his dream.                

                                                                                

 

A REPORT ON BEING A PART OF MDA PROGRAMME FOR FILARIASIS, Perinthalmanna.

We are glad that we could use our participation in Mass Drug Administration [MDA] programme for filariasis 2015 as a chance to render our service to the society. It was the second time we were entrusted with MDA programme conducted by Government of Kerala. Prior to the drug distribution an orientation class was conducted in Taluk hospital, Perinthalmanna. Discussions on the importance of the MDA programme in the district, essential details regarding the drugs to be distributed(Albendazole and diethyl carbamazine citrate) including their side effects and distribution of leaflets on filariasis were the major attractions of the session.

We were divided into small groups and allocated to different localities under the ASHA social workers. Door to door distribution of drugs and counseling around the inmates of the respective localities was provided .All the misconceptions and enquiries of  public regarding the drugs were clarified during the counseling session.  It was an honour to arrange awareness classes in some localities, as a part of this programme, which gained much appreciation as it helped in an effective completion of the programme. Almost all the people were satisfied with our counseling and were ready to take the drugs as instructed .  A follow up survey was also conducted to assess the level of impact of the programme. We  had to also face many questions regarding other drugs they are taking.It was this enthusiasm of the public that left us motivated to organize more community based programme. The motivation and cooperation of the public toward our   efforts is being the fuel for our future journeys as a clinical pharmacist.
