Panchkula, December 5 This was stated by the Senior Medical Officer, Dr Kamla Singh, while addressing a press conference. She said there were many misconceptions in the minds of public that vasectomy could affect the married life of an acceptor. “There is a need to create awareness that the acceptors can lead a healthy life, even after
getting this operation,” she said, while adding that over 200 vasecto my operations had been performed in Geberal Hospital here since 1998. Talking about the upgradation of facilities at the hospital, Dr Kamla Singh said that an Intensive Cardiac Care Unit would be operational here by March 2006. “The state government has sanctioned four additional posts of doctors and eight staff nurses, while orders have been placed for purchasing the machinery. The CCU will be operational on the third floor of the hospital,” she added. Dr Kamla Singh also informed that the Health department had deposited Rs 16 lakh with the Haryana Power Utilities to get a hotline (uninterrupted power supply) for the hospital. She said that the
doctors had worked hard to ensure that the number of referral cases from the hospital are brought down. In the past five months, the number of cases being
referred to the PGI or the GMCH at Chandigarh had gone down by 30 cases a month, she added. |

Photo-finish cameras for PU meet
Chandigarh, December 5 About 700 men and women athletes from various colleges affiliated to the university participated in the meet, which concluded yesterday. Dr D.S. Toor, professor in charge, Sports, Panjab University, said, “Photo-finish cameras were used at all-India inter-varsity levels only and we are introducing this technology at the inter-college level for the first time.” He said: “The sensors have been fitted on the track and camera has been placed at the finishing point which is connected to the laptop.” The players had been informed about the technique and they could check their timing and performance instantly after the event on the laptop. Athletes generally have the tendency of keeping their chest out to touch the thread and it becomes difficult to judge the winner manually. Asked if this was a fool-proof technology, a technician said the confusion could only arise if an athlete changes his or her lane in between the race as the computer would not be able to read the left-out lane. A standby arrangement to maintain the record manually was essential. The camera would cost around Rs 10,000 per day. |
