Venkateshwary

Venkateshwary has worked with us since 1993 and has been trained as a paramedic by the IRHS. She enjoys working with women and is skilled in both obstetrics and gynaecology. She has a wide range of medical interests. She is eager to build her knowledge and appreciates the teaching she has received from volunteer doctors. She hopes that they will continue coming; from each one she learns something different. Venkateshwary is married and has two daughters, one of whom is a laboratory technician.

Jayamma

Jayamma started with the IRHS in 1994, but she has lived across the street from the clinic since she came to Dokur as a young married woman. Her favourite activities include working with women and children. She is well known in the village clinic for her skilful ante-natal check-ups, gynaecology work and deliveries. Her English has steadily improved and she is learning to read and write as well. Jayamma is happy to be a grandmother and enjoys helping all her friends, neighbours and relations who live in the village.
