Health Care on the Tibetan Plateau
Extending Control of Two Parasitic Diseases in Kham - 8 April 2024
Based upon the success of our 2022 project, the Sichuan Provincial Finance Department for Public Health has appropriated 5 RMB per each Muli County resident to be used in 2023 by rural doctors in the county for the detection and treatment of taeniasis. With the Muli County population being 130,000, the total amount is 650,000 RMB (~100,000 USD). To optimize the use of the 650,000 RMB, more rural doctors needed to be trained to treat taeniasis carriers with the herbal medicines. Dr. Li Tiaoying, Sichuan CDC, still has no budget for training in rural areas. She has invited BLSCP to continue our collaboration and raise the funding for a 2023 project to extend our 2022 taeniasis training model to four additional townships in Muli County with high taeniasis infection rates. This project was successfully conducted in mid-April 2023. Thanks to 32 different compassionate donors, we have raised $11,520, which is 96% of our goal. To view a project description, click here.

Taeniasis Treatment Training in Muli County - 6 January 2023
Taeniasis (Taenia solium tapeworm) and neurocysticercosis (NCC) are dangerous and highly prevalent parasitic diseases in Muli County, Liangshan Prefecture, Sichuan Province, China (Kham). Dr. Li Tiaoying, Sichuan CDC, Chengdu, is our long-time partner and an expert working on taeniasis/NCC for over 15 years. During 2022, Dr. Li and her team trained rural doctors in Eya and Mairi Townships in Muli County on (1) all aspects of the two diseases, (2) how to identify taeniasis carriers, (3) how to conduct treatment, including preparation of the herbal medicines, and (4) how to record the results of treatment.
