ABSTRACT
Safe drinking water providing is one of the main purposes in the community. Development and improvement of community is related to the public health. In this study we studied the bacteriological quality of 116 villages under coverage of the water and wastewater companies in rural areas of Saqqez in.1386 Material and Drinking water of these rural areas have provided of deep, semi-depth- wells and spring water sources. Because in numerous rural areas both sources of drinking water and in some of them different sources of drinking water were used [old and new storage water source], in general, 359 samples were collected and transferred to the laboratory for testing to evaluate its quality. We also used linear Regression statistical analysis for collected data. results show that residual chlorine in drinking water in 33.88 percent of rural areas population were in range 0.2-1 mg/l. For 98.3 percent of the seqqez rural population, the turbidity was lower than the maximum permissible levels of drinking water standards of Iran [5 NTU]. There was no any E.coli contamination in 88 percent of drinking water in saqqez rural areas. Based on WHO guidelines concerning the microbial quality of water published in 2006 the average indicator for lack of E.coli in water of rural areas of seqqez was 88 percent and water is safe or good for drinking

El Programa de Salud Municipal, tiene como objetivo general: Hacer de los sistemas locales de gobierno, el eje fundamental de los sistemas locales de salud, por medio de las siguientes metas específicas: 1) Crear o fortalecer las acciones de los comités municipales de salud y bienestar social de los COPLADES municipales, mediante la representación en estos, de los comités de salud de las localidades y de otros sectores y organizaciones locales para el análisis y solución de sus problemas. 2) Promover la participación de la población, las autoridades municipales, las instituciones, las localidades, las jurisdicciones sanitarias, comités de salud y organizaciones locales, en la elaboración de los diagnósticos de salud municipal, en la programación, operación evaluación de los servicios de salud y acciones de salud. 3) Garantizar los canales de comunicación, que les permitan a los gobiernos municipales y su población, conocer la relación entre los diversos programas sectoriales y las acciones de salud municipal, a fin de óptimizar recursos y esfuerzos. En este sentido, el municipio juega un papel fundamental en la instrumentación de las estrategias que requieran las acciones de salud. Desde este espacio, debe pugnarse por elevar la calidad de los servicios, atender las desigualdades sociales y así, construir la base donde se conforme una nueva cultura de la salud que tenga como premisas fundamentales la prevención y la participación social

We discuss the problem of curable blindness in Pakistan, and present our experience with a Non-Government Organization [NGO] by adopting a fundamentally different approach to ensure quality care in eye surgery, free of cost to the patient, in Pakistani villages. A three tier program, which is being implemented in some villages for the last three years, was followed in order to: a] increase the number of cataract extractions by operating in selected villages for six months, and thereafter by construction of small hospitals which operate throughout the year; b] ensure a high standard of safety by the use of fully equipped air-conditioned mobile and static operation theaters manned by permanently employed and adequately qualified and experienced surgical and ancillary staff, whose quality care through adoption of recognized techniques and proper closure of operation wounds allows immediate ambulation of the patient, and provides a basis for the future day-care surgery; and c] establish a referral system with a [Base Hospital] for complicated cases
