JOSH Foundation in Mozambique


Audiologist and Speech Therapist, Devangi Dalal, got felicitated by the Indian Ambassador to Mozambique in Maputo in the presence of the American and Mauritius Ambassadors to Mozambique.
Rizwan Adatia visited India and met us at the Josh Foundation and he had in his mind to conduct and organize a hearing camp in Maputo, Mozambique.
ENT Specialist Dr. Jayant Gandhi and Audiologist and Speech Therapist Devangi Dalal in Maputo, Mozambique, for a hearing camp

Last year they organized a camp with USA’s Entheos. It was their first project and they found it difficult to screen and fit hearing aids at same time. The camp was conducted in two phases with 4 audiologists. 700 people were screened for hearing loss and out of them, 430 patients were fitted with technologically effective hearing aids. Entheos from USA, Rizwan Adatia Foundation from Maputo (Africa) and JOSH Foundation from India work together for humanity to create Hear the Future.

And then we went to fit the hearing aid to them and see how to make long term plan to help people to hear well.
Out of 400 hearing aids fitted, more than 50 % were on kids and middle age people getting hearing loss because of Mycin drug being administered to treat Malaria and Tuberculosis there.
In the future, awareness camps need to be conducted for all age groups to keep them informed.
She is planning to work with the Indian embassy of Maputo to make a public policy in this hearing health care issue.
