Voice 2: The Maua Methodist Hospital, or MMH, does not only help orphans. They also work to help prevent children becoming orphans. They have a community based palliative care programme. Palliative care is care for people who have a disease with no cure. MMH workers know that there is no cure for AIDS. But there are many ways to improve the lives of AIDS victims. There are even ways to extend their lives. So, hospital workers teach parents ways of cooking and cleaning that avoid sickness. They teach parents how to follow healthy diets. And they provide drugs that reduce the risk of catching infections that can kill. They are able to provide some people with anti-retroviral drugs. These drugs slow down the AIDS disease in the body. But the drugs only work if people take them correctly. They have to take particular drugs at particular times of the day, every day. If they do this, then the drugs can work to extend life by many years. A medical worker from the hospital said,
聲音2:馬烏阿衛(wèi)理公會醫(yī)院(簡稱MMH),并不僅僅為孤兒提供幫助。他們還在努力防止孩子成為孤兒。他們有一個基于姑息治療方案成立的團(tuán)體。姑息治療是為患有無法治愈疾病的患者提供的治療。馬烏阿衛(wèi)理公會醫(yī)院工作人員知道艾滋病沒有治愈方法。但是有許多方法可以改善艾滋病患者的生活。也有方法可以延長艾滋病患者的生命。所以,醫(yī)院人員教授父母可以避免疾病的烹飪方法和清洗方法,教授遵循健康飲食的方法。他們還會提供可以減少感染風(fēng)險的藥物。他們也能為一些人提供抗艾滋病藥物。這些藥物可以減緩艾滋病患者的病情發(fā)展。但是只有患者正確服用,這些藥物才有效。患者必須每天在特定時間服用特定藥物。如果患者能做到,那這些藥物就可以將他們的生命延長數(shù)年。該醫(yī)院的一名醫(yī)務(wù)工作者表示。
