Seb's Doctors

Meet the Doctors who conduct health camps in their spare time with Seb's. They visit the most difficult to reach villages in Jawadhi Hills every month, conducting health camps, providing advice and treatment, and referring those in need to hospital. They work in a local hospital, and are on call any time of day or night to our staff. They don't just treat, but fully explains how and why illnesses occur, and how to prevent them, so that problems don't occur, in a language they can understand. They understand the community's health beliefs and don't try to change them, but help them to evolve so that they do not suffer unnecessarily.
​
Because healthcare in a tribal community is a lot more than just medicine.​
​​Seb's Field Staff

Meet our Tribal Project Officers, Balwadi and School teachers. They live in the tribal villages, and understand their people better than anyone else. They provide support 24 hours a day to their communities, and are a point of contact in case of an emergency.
​
​When someone in the community becomes ill, it is them that explains how and why, or mobilises the family to take the patient to hospital. It is them that helps them at home and check every day that medicines are correctly administered. It is them that rushes people through the forest on the back of a motorbike in an emergency.

This is how we make sure that no one falls through the cracks.​

Seb's Coordination Staff
Meet our coordinating team. Seb's designed the HEAL program, and now conduct Health Worker training, health education as well as visiting the traget villages twice a month to follow up on the work and ensure outreach is going well. They are coordinators in the office, health workers in the field and health aides on health camps!

Because making a difference takes flexibility.

It takes more than one person to save a life.
Often, when tribal people in remote areas with animist health beliefs want to access Biomedical healthcare, they do not understand what the doctors say, run away or take medicines incorrectly or not at all. They cannot afford the treatments they need and are illiterate, so cannot access the schemes that are put in place to help them. Their families do not understand and cannot afford to leave their farms, and so patients have no one to feed them or buy their medicines whilst in hospital, staying alone. All these factors make it nearly impossible for many to recover from serious illness, and many die or suffer unnecessarily.
