Tomas Castillo – PUNTA PIEDRA Tomas has been working on blood pressure control in his community. He found many cases that need treatment and they did not know about this risky The answer of the community was more than he expected. There is a Health Center in the Punta Piedra community but because of lack of personnel most of the time is closed or the nurse is not available, so the presence of Tomas is vital for the community. During a community assembly a woman lost consciousness suddenly. Tomas was among the people and trying to help the woman took the pressure, it was 180-90. They look for the nurse at the Health Center but she was not working at that time. Then he found one of the MAMUGA promoters and together took the woman to the next community where she was attended at the Clinic. The community knows very well the great help that Tomas represents for them. |
