CAPITOL HIGHER INSTITUTE OF HEALTH SCIENCES AND BEAUTY THERAPIES

Community Health Internship is an activity that the level 2 (that the second year students) carry out. Over the years it was practised as a touristic event not related to what was thought in class in public health. In an attempt to always improve on the quality of teaching and especially to give a scientific approach to community health internship in CAPITOL we had to try a different approach this year that consisted in assessing health problems and risk problems in households using a questionnaire.

This report is a synthesis of the results of work of students at the various health areas. In order to make this synthesis the names of the Health Districts where the health areas are situated are used. The interpretation of results should be limited to the health area studied.

The students worked in health areas in the following health Districts: Bali, Mbengwi, Tubah and Santa. This report and those of the students will serve as a feedback to health authorities where they work and beyond.   

GENERAL OBJECTIVE (GOAL):  The goal of Community Health Internship is to make a community diagnosis of health problems/diseases in the community and risk factors that contribute to appearance of diseases in that community by studying the environmental sanitation of households and health problems in households in the community as studied in public health in class; study the vaccination coverage rate of children 0 – 23 months and use the results of the community diagnosis to control the diseases and risk factors identified.
