Needs
In 2009 October the resettlement was commenced in Manthaiwest 1008 families with 5040 members were resettled in the above mentioned location in Manthaiwest. These returned IDPs were depended on the Palamadhu hospital when it was functioning before the displacement. After these returnees settled down in their own areas they needed to go Mannar town hospital for medical treatment. To assist these returned IDPs CHA did needs assessment in early March 2010, in the above locations. Overall these villages were in urgent need of health services as none of them had their own hospitals and had to travel far distances to main hospitals in Mannar town and Murunkan towns. There was also the problem of communicable diseases brought in by the resettlers from Vanni and cases of spread were noted. Although not many cases of such diseases were identified at the time of the assessment, relevant government authorities and public health inspectors felt that it would soon become a problem if preventive action was not taken. Silavaturai hospital has not been functioning since 1990. The people in Musali DS are needed health mobile clinics.
