IMA Requests all govt medical colleges in country.... The MOH & MCI had written to all Govt. Medical Colleges to respond for a one time increase in PG seats. its good and needy decision by the Modi govt. The MCI also relaxed its norms – from a professor student ratio of 1:2 to 1: 3. Now for every 30 beds with a faculty of professors/Associate Professors/Assistant Professors one can have three PG students and for a unit of 40 beds with the same faculty strength one can have five PG students. Unfortunately the Govt. medical colleges are not responding as the way they should. “This one-time opportunity should not be lost since if the number of seats are not increased in the Govt. sector, the costly private sector will grab this opportunity and fill up all the seats. SO,IMA Requesting all Deans of Govt. Medical Colleges, send the required information to MCI in time so as to take appropriate decision and timely benefit can go to genuine meritorious and poor students...

  Microbes are destiny makers along with our genes. Right or wrong? Right. Gut bacteria flora is our soul mate. The gut flora affects our health, it decides to whom we shall make friends, lovers and partners. It decides our status of sexual life. It decides our sociability in the community. Sexual reproduction is superior to asexual reproduction, as it is constantly shuffling our genomes helps us stay ahead of the many parasites and pathogens. Sex guarantees the genetic diversity necessary to persevere in a never-ending war, meaning that you can thank  microbes and parasites for the opportunity to  fall in love at all. These microbes change the  chemical structure of  our secretions and excretions. Kissing,aroma of the sweat.breast milk,vaginal secretions,anal passage and birth passage are avenues for transmitting  dallops of microbes to their contacts. people who live together do end up with similar microbiomes. This Valentine’s Da...

New rules - notified on January 31, classify medical devices in four classes -- low risk, low moderate risk, moderate high risk and high risk,which may discourage domestic manufacturing of medical devices and is against the "Make in India" policy.  “The purpose of regulations is to filter access to unsafe products and ensure patient safety and consumer protection. But    there's nothing to penalise pseudo manufacturing in these new regulations. Domestic manufacturers need factory inspection,where as its not necessary for  overseas manufacturing plants.its clear cut  discrimination and Surely,It  may result in the closure of some units of domestic (medical device) manufacturing and drive jobs out of India as more manufacturing of high risk high technology devices will switch to imports!   one silver lining is," These rules  remove the need for periodic renewal of licences".

1. The Hospital or firm  claiming the salaries paid to workers as expenses should make the payment by cheque or through digital means to claim tax deduction.

They can split the  salary  into fortnightly or even weekly payment if you want to use a loophole . 2. a clause was inserted, to disallow depreciation if a machinery/ medical equipment worth Rs 10,000 is bought in cash.
