Sangha Jewels Project hasn't added a story.
Recently our clinic staff members have noticed a high number of monks coming to our clinic with gastro-intestinal difficulties ranging from digestion problems, constipation, bloating, persistent diarrhea, and abdominal pain. Due to this, one week ago an announcement was made during a general assembly asking all monks who have gastrointestinal issues to report to the clinic the following morning. To our surprise, over 60 monks showed up with varying symptoms and troubles.
These issues ranged from simple constipation to more serious symptoms such as acute abdominal pain and swelling. Because of the wide array of possibles causes for all of these issues, and the often complex nature of gastrointestinal problems, it was decided that the best course of action was to bring each monk to the local hospital for a full diagnostic screening and treatment where needed.
The local hospital has a special department for gastrointestinal health and is able to provide the proper care that our monks need regarding these health issues. Each initial screening and diagnostic at the gastro health department of the hospital will include a general health check-up, endoscopy, and colonoscopy if needed. Any recommended treatment or medication will also be provided as part of this project.
The total projected cost for this project is 165,000 Rupees ($2579.28 USD). Each complete screening costs 1500 Rupees ($23.45 USD), and we estimate another 1000 to 1200 Rupees (between $15 - $18 USD) for medications and transportation costs. This amounts to about 2700 Rupees (about $42) for each monk for a total of 165,000 Rupees ($2,579.28). Our fundraiser goal is set a bit higher than our projected total cost due the the strong possibility that some of the monks will need additional medical care and services as follow-up to the health screening.
We humbly ask for your help in providing these monks with this much
needed care. You can choose to sponsor one or more monks for their
medical costs, or make a general donation toward our goal. With your
help, we get these monks back to proper health and also prevent some
of these medical issues from growing worse if not treated when we now
have the opportunity.
With much gratitude and
appreciation,
Lobsang Gedun Shar Gaden Health Clinic Secretary.
