HOW WE DO IT

Nityaasha pursues its vision and conducts its programmes with a close-knit team of Project Director, Medical Social Workers, Pharmacist, office staff, and of course, the Managing Committee, to help and support underprivileged children battling Type 1 Diabetes.

Nityaasha Foundation has put in pioneering efforts not only to address the medical aspect of the disorder but has created a reformative eco-structure around the child to ensure holistic, medical and social development.

HOME/CENTRE VISITS

Through home and centre visits, Nityaasha Foundation provides free medical aid to the Type 1 Diabetic children – insulin, lancets, strips, syringes, glucometers, etc.

We also fund regular Pathology tests to monitor the patients’ glycemic control and for early detection of any diabetic complication, and organise annual eye screening as these children are at a risk of eye damage due to diabetic retinopathy.

HOME/CENTRE VISITS

We monitor the child’s health on a continuous basis through follow-up calls and home visits. Through these calls and visits, we build rapport with the families, reiterate our support for the child, and give them the much-needed moral support and confidence to lead a normal life.

These sessions are also used to spread awareness about the disorder – in the family and the eco-structure around the child.

HOME/CENTRE VISITS

During home and centre visits, we educate, counsel & motivate the children and the eco structure around them to deal with this disorder. Some of the crucial topics covered include diet counselling; management of Type 1 Diabetes and possible emergencies; Self Blood Glucose Monitoring (SBGM) and how to maintain a diary to record the sugar levels;.socio-psycho counselling.
