The Snehitha Gender Help Desk of Pathanamthitta launched 'Veetil Oru Doctor' Programme. It is an innovative programme framed and launched by Kudumbashree Pathanamthitta District Mission in collaboration with Medical Department to provide awareness on First Aid. Two members from vigilant groups of each ward in the district would be given training and they would train one member from each neighborhood group. As part of the programme, 1840 members i.e.,2 members each from 920 wards and 1,57,475 members from 947 NHGs would be given training in the first phase.

  The programme aims at  having at least one member at each NHG who is aware of First Aid. In the second phase, the programme would b extended to each family in every NHGs. The inaugural meeting of the programme was held at Chaathangari  Community Health Centre.  Dr.Mammen Cheriyan delivered a class on first aid and demonstrate first aid techniques to the members. As it is aimed to extend the programme district wide and to ensure this as an initial step,  2 CDSs viz., Nedumbrom and Peringara were selected and  the vigilant group leaders from each ward attended the meeting and learned how to give first aid to people.
