Caring for the Elderly and Bed-ridden Patients

On 29 June, the DPF Sponsorship Section organized a training workshop for 50 care-givers and public health volunteers on caring for bed-ridden patients, the elderly and elderly people who live alone. Our trainers were physical therapists from Watcharapol Clinic, who gave the assembled trainees a deeper understanding of both the internal and external health needs of the elderly. How to correctly and gently help patients move was an important part of the session, as were simple exercises with gentle stretching. Trainees also had ample opportunity to ask questions of the therapists during the training.
