We are shortlisted for BMJ South Asia 2015 Awards:Healthcare Advocacy
This is for our work on deafness:early diagnosis and intervention in the community.
It means a lot to my team of audiologists,speech pathologist,Pediatricians, immunisation nurses,ASHA workers,Anganwadi teachers,Parents,Volunteers and our supporters
http://southasiaawards.bmj.com/about-bmj-awards/
There is a long road ahead but early diagnosis and intervention is the key.We have been proposing pediatric hearing screening in immunisation OPD.As regarding rehabilitation,again early and we advocate speech,language and education for the young deaf (infant to 6 years).This will prepare them for mainstream or integration.
Deafness is a silent disability but not a mental disability,early habilitation can make them independent and a productive member of our society.
