A survey should have revealed unhygienic conditions of the village.
Similar conditions in the family and community could have been prevented by improving sanitation.
Proper investigations and treatment were not done since there was no follow up program.
He was not counseled about safe drinking water.
Poor health awareness due to ignorance.

OM SRI SAI RAM
Tablets alone cannot cure pain and medical equipment is powerless in the face of hopelessness. Primary health care is complete only when the broken body is mended and the forlorn spirit restored. It is only when the tears have been wiped away and hope restored that the health care delivery can be deemed complete.
