HEALTH STATUSOFFISHING COMMUNITIES With Special Focus on Orissa A Review Report by Dr. Rajan PatilConsultantUnited Nations Development ProgrammeBhubaneswar, Orissarajanpatil@gmail.com 1

IntroductionThe current study on the health status of fishing communities was undertaken specificallyto provide policy inputs into the ongoing fisheries project Supporting Development of sustainable livelihoods in the Fisheries Sector in Orissa undertaken by United NationsDevelopment Prorgramme (UNDP) in collaboration with Government of Orissa.The study process involved reviewing secondary data sources from academic institutions,Government departments and visits to the Health care facilities in coastal districts. Thereview was largely confined to health issues related to the marine fishing communities. Anon governmental perspective was taken by inviting NGOs and activists to provide their inputs in a consultative meeting.The aim of review was also to understand over all health problems and issues concernedto well being of the fishing communities in general. Some of the gaps in understandingthe health issues of fisherman communities in Orissa and non availability of data wasover come by referring to specific studies carried out outside Orissa.Since the duration of the present study was limited to three months, the review does notclaim to be exhaustive but is meant to give a broad based understanding of the healthstatus of fisherman communities.2
