Muhammad Ali Bukhari, CNMNG News, Toronto
The role of ‘PSW’ or personal support workers as frontline workers in Western society is quite important.

According to the Personal Support Worker HQ website, the average life expectancy in long-term care centers in Canada is 87.2 years, and many of them suffer from mental disabilities, such as Alzheimer’s or dementia. As a result, their great sacrifice is unforgettable. This example is reflected during the Corona pandemic everywhere in Canada, even in other countries. Continue reading→

পশ্চিমা সমাজে সন্মুখসারির কর্মজীবি হিসেবে ‘পিএসডব্লিউ’ বা পার্সোনাল সাপোর্ট ওয়ার্কারদের ভূমিকা যথেষ্ট গুরুত্বপূর্ণ। তারা একদিকে যেমন পরিচর্যা কেন্দ্র ও হাসপাতালে সঙ্কটপূর্ণ রোগীর সেবায় নিয়োজিত, তেমনি সমাজের অপরাপর পরিচর্যা নিবাস, ব্যক্তিমালিকানাধীন বাড়ী ও সরকারি অর্থপুষ্ট দীর্ঘমেয়াদি বৃদ্ধাশ্রম বা সেবাশ্রমে নিজেদের নিয়োজিত রাখেন। পাশাপাশি তারা শুধু সেবার অনন্য দৃষ্টান্তই স্থাপন করেন না, বরং রোগীদের প্রাত্যহিক সুস্থতার ক্ষেত্রেও তারা আত্মনিবেদিত ও অবিচল। কেননা পার্সোনাল সাপোর্ট ওয়ার্কার এইচকিউ ওয়েবসাইটের তথ্যানুসারে কানাডায় দীর্ঘমেয়াদি পরিচর্যা কেন্দ্রের বাসিন্দাদের গড় আয়ুস্কাল ৮৭.২ বছর এবং এদের অনেকেই আবার মানসিক প্রতিবন্ধি, যেমন আলজাইমার বা ডিমেনসিয়ায় আক্রান্ত। ফলে তাদের এই মহান আত্মত্যাগ অবিস্মরণীয়। সেটা এই করোনা মহামারীকালীন কানাডার সর্বত্র, এমনকী অপরাপর দেশেও দৃশ্যমান। Continue reading→
