11.1.3  Interest in individuals

Any activity carried out with interest is likely to give better results. You will regularly visit families in your catchment area as part of various healthcare activities. When you do, it would be helpful to know their names, their family situation, and their individual circumstances, and to speak to them about their backgrounds. This helps in building a relationship with your clients and will make them feel more comfortable, so that they are more likely to share their problems with you. Knowing about the history of your client also helps in devising an appropriate treatment plan.
