Dr. Rajitha Swaris of Green House Medical Center has recognized the unique needs of our local community, where many people are involved in sea fishing as their primary occupation. Understanding the risks associated with deep-sea fishing, Dr. Swaris has initiated an awareness program to educate fishermen about essential first aid precautions and basic medical knowledge required while at sea.
In response to these needs, Green House Medical Center has created and introduced an unparalleled first aid toolkit specifically designed for fishermen. This toolkit includes all necessary supplies and instructions to handle common injuries and medical emergencies that can occur during fishing expeditions.
The awareness program conducted by Dr. Swaris covers a wide range of topics, including how to treat cuts and lacerations, manage sprains and fractures, and recognize the signs of hypothermia and dehydration. Fishermen are trained in the use of the first aid toolkit, ensuring they are well-prepared to handle medical situations that may arise while out at sea.
Moreover, the toolkit is equipped with specialized items such as waterproof bandages, marine-grade antiseptics, and emergency thermal blankets. These tools are chosen to withstand the harsh conditions of the sea and provide effective care until professional medical help can be reached.
By offering this specialized first aid toolkit and comprehensive training, Green House Medical Center aims to enhance the safety and well-being of our local fishing community. The initiative reflects our ongoing commitment to addressing the specific health needs of our community members and ensuring they have the knowledge and resources to stay safe in their daily lives.
Dr. Swaris’s efforts and the introduction of this first aid toolkit highlight Green House Medical Center’s dedication to proactive and community-focused healthcare solutions. We are proud to support our fishermen and their families, providing them with the tools and knowledge necessary to navigate the challenges of their profession safely.
