The reality: The country spending  close to Rs 21,000 crore annually for NRHM.  primary  healthcare can solve 90% of the medical problems. primary care is very effective at delivering effective individual interventions at routine consultations to prevent heart disease, stroke, and cancer. About 70%-80% (around 84 crore) of the population spend out-of-pocket on healthcare. health care spending is just  5% of GDP. Out of this  the government  spending just 1.2% of the GDP on healthcare. there are 1.8 million child deaths and 68 000 maternal deaths in India each year and 52 million undernourished children.   Only 9  hospital beds per 10,000 people which  is far from adequate. insurance will pay for hospitalization, but not for outpatient treatment,which can affect cancer patients and it can affect follow-up care. “India still buys or imports most medical devices, and we still pay in dollars. Chronic diseases (such as heart disease, d...

If any person expends Rs.1000/- per month for consumption of food and goods ( food, clothing, footwear, durables, education and health. ),he is not poor-as per one survey report- Tendulkar committee report).A s per the above formula,our country has 25 crore poor people , other wise,5 crore poor families. But, Why does UPA want to feed 67% through food security bill, if only 22% of India is poor? welfare schemes with out corruption,is what india needs! Estimated expenditure of our government for the year 2013-14 as per the Union Budget - Rs.16 lac crores. O f this, 5lac crores goes to welfare schemes with sizable pilferage. Did you know that there are actually just 3.5 crore income tax payers in India?  There are just 42,800 persons , who admitted as a taxable income exceeding Rs 1 crore per year." ( మన దేశం లో కోటి రూపాయల వార్షిక ఆదాయం ఉన్న వారు కేవలం 43000 మంది !) మన దేశానికి ఉన్న సంపద మానవ వనరులు . కానీ, అత్యంత ఎక్కువ మందికి చదువు ,నైపుణ్యం లేవు . వీరికి సర...

Friends, do you observe what is happening since 3years? The Rupee has lost around 16% in 2013, and 44% in the last 3 years. Petrol &diesel price has  increased by more than Rs 25. So maintaining a car has already become a huge burden.  Prices of milk, vegetables and other essential commodities too going skywards. Overseas education took Rs 30 lakhs earlier, the same will cost you Rs 45 lakhs now with the fall of the rupee.  A dinner for two that cost Rs 500 a couple of years back now costs Rs 1,500. Even watching a movie in a theatre has gotten extremely expensive.  millions of qualified workers roaming on the streets without jobs due to  the falling growth . many Business firms are now struggling to just cover their interest payments.  NPA s of banks accumulated to 1lac crores. salaries stagnate while the expenses keep going up continuously.  As per the Eleventh Five-year plan, around 1.5 crore new people join the workforce in Ind...

Mangalyaan : Why india expends about Rs.500 cr. for space  journey towards MARS ,amidst woeful deficiency of basic and fundamental infrastructure in the country? India is a country full of paradoxes. Indians burns crackers of  Rs.5000 crores on a single divali night.So,why not Mars journey? the indirect benefit of the space research is enormous.gauging under ground water levels,predicting cataclysmic tsunaamees,etc... 3D printing 'will change the world' From replacement of kidneys to guns, cars, prosthetics and works of art, 3D printing is predicted to transform our lives in the coming decades as dramatically as the Internet did before it.

Brief details:  WBMC and the National Consumer forum, both were dismissed the original complaints made by Dr.  Kunal   Saha .(fighting since 15years for compensation of his wife's death due to  toxic dermal necrolysis) Then he went to SC and won (not once but twice, both times against the NC). Who are the accused in this case?                AMRI hospital and 3 doctors. what is meant by pecuniary damages?        95% of the compensation was based only on "economic damages" other wise called as "pecuniary damages" and it was due to the loss of income for demised patient. Is the"Cap" was imposed on compensation for medical negligence, in any country? Absolutely no "cap" anywhere in  developed countries on  "economic"/pecuniary damages.But, in some states of USA, Cap has been implemented on the "non-economic" damages for pain, suffering etc. Break ups of the compen...

India has plenty of intelligence. india has abundant man-power. still,in india IMR is at  44 per 1000 live births (as per the government's 2011 Sample Registration System ). you know, IMR  determines the socio-economic status of a state/country  .MMR is still unacceptably high.   We record the highest number of maternal deaths in the world -  56,000 maternal deaths, every year. so,what is the reason?  In india, strategic interventions are missing or inadequately implemented.   Where we have to be focussed?  the mantra should be "basic and inexpensive care has to reach  the common man door steps". affordable technology can perhaps increase India’s mothers’ and babies’ chances of survival. improving access to affordable medicines and timely life-saving interventions.  Expanded neonatal and intrapartum care,  management of diarrhoea and pneumonia, and  addition of new vaccines to immunisation programmes . so,we...

The Time has come, Mankind has to turn towards sea for the food -----  Kelp, a type of seaweed, has a number of benefits: it’s rich in nutrients, low in fat and one of the fastest-growing plants in the world.  One study  form the Netherlands estimates that only one percent of the Earth’s ocean surface would be needed to grow the amount of seaweed equal to the amount of all food we grow on land.

2020: Across the country,400 odd medical colleges are in search of students to fill the seats. No donations. only nominal fees.its because, universities across the country doling out B.Sc -community health course and make lacks of those graduates to release in to the rural and slum urban health sector. corporate hospitals hire those graduates cheaply at 5000/- month. MBBS graduates  wandering  on the roads waiting for jobs. MCI is on the verge of closing due to lack of monitoring authority on corporate health sector and closure of medical institutes. individual medical practitioners slowly fading out leaving the ground to AYUSH and B.S c health practitioners. few lucky super specialists spreading their tentacles of multi specialty 5 star hospitals  with super empanelment facilities. indian health authorities grinning with mischievious smiles and boasting their intelligence,how they eradicated the noble species of doctors and put bare foot doctors at the door steps of...

Even though the    Parliamentary Standing Committee   recommended options like mandatory rural posting after an MBBS internship, increasing the number of nursing graduates and postgraduates who could be posted at the health sub-centre level, as well as sending AYUSH professionals to health sub-centres,the UPA govt decided to go ahead with B.Sc community health course from 2013-14. IMA STRONGLY OPPOSED THIS COURSE. MCI vehemently denied to notify the course. parliamentary standing committee rejected the course. still, the tuglaquian UPA govt proceeds undemocratically with this retrograde step,with an ulterior motive of by-passing the main stream medical graduates from the primary care. if the govt  is sincere to provide basic health care at the door steps of aam aadmi, it can use the services of lacs of unemployed nurses and thousands of unemployed  MBBS graduates &AYUSH professionals.  Even with 50% of the budgetary allocation that is ...
