GMC in mess?
Amritsar, October 30 The mandatory annual visit for carrying out inspection of staff, teaching facility and infrastructure has become customary.
Medical teachers from middle and newly appointed groups held lobby of senior doctors who are on the verge of retirement. They said lure of high pay packages on the verge of retirement was keeping them glued to their seats. They said senior medical teachers were once again trying to extend their retirement age to 62 years from 60. Earlier, they alleged, the senior medical teachers had managed to get their retirement age extended from 58 to 60 years two years back. However, it is learnt that top functionaries of the medical colleges in the state, had held several meetings with senior government functionaries to find a suitable way-out to remove deficiencies. They felt that a smooth way would be found soon. Medical teachers from middle and young groups are of the view that this move was fraught with serious troubles on health services in this part of the country in future as the inflow of youngsters would reduce to medical colleges. They felt that that constant recruitment of PCMS would only solve the problem as they would get ample time to work under senior teachers. They added that serious professions like medicine in which human lives are involved needed to be in the hands of medical professionals who garnered maximum experience. Re-appointment of retried professors may solve immediate problem of funds but would add more trouble for health system in the long run. Meanwhile, after a gap of nearly 10 years, the government has hired as many as 312 regular doctors under PCMS category this year. Out of 1,900 PCMS available in the state, 1,200 are rural medical officers (also called service providers). Their contracts are yet to be renewed as they had been recruited three years ago through zila parishad. Many of them have got shifted to neighbouring state of Haryana. In the PCMS, 60 per cent seats are reserved for post graduate candidates while the remaining 40 per cent are for medical graduates. However, in medical colleges only those medical doctors who have done post graduation are eligible. It is learnt that the MCI issued directions from time to time to meet the norms, filling up the key posts. However, it remained more a customary process resembling any 'sarkari' work of 'khanapurti' (merely discharging of obligation). Directions issued from time to time san any concrete action on any of the three counts. On-the-spot inspection of the MCI team for detecting irregularities and shortfalls in infrastructure, equipment and shortage of teaching staff was chalked out with the goal of keeping the teaching standards in medical colleges at the highest level. The MCI team had several time threatened to withdraw the recognition of the college, but sophisticated apparatus is yet to be brought and system to be streamlined. Single CT scan, equipment for diagnosis, has been made available from a Bathinda-based company on contract basis. Although the senior political functionaries of the ruling SAD-BJP combine have been making statements on improving medical education in the state but the concrete results are yet to come out. Meanwhile, a senior functionary of the College on the condition of anonymity said plans were in pipeline to make its functioning more robust and dynamic.

Trust beldars at beck and call of Local Bodies officials
Amritsar, October 28 What adds to the problem is that these officials were transferred out of the city a long time back. Although the beldars, belonging to the class four category, have been drawing salary from the Improvement Trust, they are reportedly not contributing their services for it. Instead, they have allegedly been working at the residences of the officials. Pardeep Sabharwal of the local bodies department was transferred out of the city one-and-a-half-year ago. He was again transferred to another district last month. Sabharwal is allegedly keeping two beldars with him for carrying out domestic chores. While another official, Bhagat, who was shifted out of the city a year ago, has reportedly been keeping a beldar with him. On being contacted, Sabharwal rubbished the allegation and retorted that it was practically impossible to keep two employees of the Amritsar Improvement Trust out of the district. While Bhagat said the trust was itself grappling with staff shortage and it was not feasible to spare beldars for domestic chores. MP Arora, Deputy Regional Director (urban Local Bodies), who has additional charge of chairman Improvement Trust Amritsar, said he would look into the matter. |

55th Global College of Surgeons opens P.K. Jaiswar Tribune News Service
Amritsar, October 30 Eminent surgeon from AIIMS Dr M.C. Mishra, talking to mediapersons on the sidelines of the 55th International College of Surgeons, opened here yesterday with live surgery workshop, said the country needed to reduce the patient-doctor ratio, which was alarmingly high as there was one doctor to look after 6,000 patients. India required to spend more funds to build a strong health infrastructure to cater to the needs of the people, especially in the rural areas where the medical services were abysmally low. He advocated better pay packages for medical fraternity to encourage quality manpower into the profession. He complemented the role of private sector, which had provided good health services and shared the burden of government hospitals. But, he said, the common man continued to have faith in the public sector hospitals. Dr S.S. Gill, Vice-Chancellor, Baba Farid University of Medical Sciences and Research, said the state was on the threshold of the medical revolution as more and more private medical colleges were being opened to produce a large number of doctors to serve the nation. He said more PG seats would be available from the next session as more than 40 to 60 per cent students would get a chance to enrol themselves in the postgraduation courses in the medical colleges. He said the government had recently formed a high-power panel for the accreditation of hospitals and nursing homes to standardise medical services. He said the panel headed by the Director, Health Services, was on job to form a criterion and forming nursing home act. Meanwhile, the workshop was dedicated to a top surgeon of yesteryear, Dr Santokh Singh Anand, whose 100th birth anniversary falls next month. More than 200 delegates attended the live surgical workshop with emphasis on minimal surgery through laparoscopic and modern equipment.

Joint Effort to save water
Amritsar, October 30 Gurbhej Singh, General Secretary of the society, said the water supply system in private colonies was not up to the mark, water wastage in commercial areas was also continuing unabated. Also, a lot of clean water was being wasted through the R.O. System, which throws away a considerable amount of water out into the waste pipe. Dr. Sham Sunder Deepti of the Bharat Gyan Vigyan Samiti said residents of the holy city should install water-alarms or auto-cuts to prevent wastage of water. They advise people to use these methods but no one realizes the seriousness of the problem and continual wastage of water will affect the nature in future. Huge quantities of water are wasted daily through public taps, toilets etc. at various public points such as Sadar Thana, District Courts, Irrigation Complex, Water tank outside Govt. School, Mall Road. Deepak Babbar, Mission Aagaaz, said they are a part of the Green Amritsar Campaign so they always struggle to save water and environment. He said green belts are being destroyed as residents of posh colonies prefer to construct parking places with cement and concrete than to have greenery outside their houses. The cutting of trees opposite the District Shopping Complex, Ranjit Avenue (which were first pruned then dried by putting some medicine) was also flayed. One such incident was brought to the notice of the Deputy Commissioner, just adjacent to the Red Cross Bhawan, but no action was taken by the administration. Deepak requested the District Administration (DC, DFO and Municipal Corporation of Amritsar) to take notice of such incidents and implement stringent laws under the Environment Protection Act. Vivek Arora (City Cycling Club), Dr. Purshotam Lal, SAATHI, Vibhuti Sharma, Indian Vision Foundation, Gurpinder Mahal Taraksheel Society, Yashpal Bhaskar, Baldev Sehgal, All Over Awareness Party Capt. Sanjeev Sharma and NCC 11 Punjab Battalion were instrumental in raising the above issues.

‘Lifestyle diseases top threat to life’
Amritsar, October 30 Probably, yes, if the facts put forth by experts are to be believed. Nevertheless, this fatality can be conquered with a slight change in one’s habits, behaviour and practices. Stressing on healthy diet and mild exercise, Dr. Ashok Goel, Assistant Prof., Government Medical College, during a guest lecture titled ‘lifestyle diseases: A holistic approach, conducted at the DAV College, Hathi Gate, here, said the top causes of death are lifestyle diseases. History is replete with examples of deaths from infectious diseases like pneumonia, influenza and tuberculosis all over the world, but improved hygiene practices, better living conditions and medical advancements have slowed down the pace of infectious diseases. Yet, today’s modern lifestyle has increased the cases of heart diseases, cancer and stroke accidents. “Balanced diet with mild exercise is the mantra for a healthy lifestyle. Just switching off your computer or TV for an hour-long brisk walk or some mild exercises to relieve stress, which is generally responsible for disorders like heart diseases, cancer, respiratory infections, rheumatoid arthritis, immunosuppression etc., might take you towards a much healthier life,” said Dr. Goel. People’s diets changed substantially during the second half of the twentieth century, generally with an increase in the consumption of meat, dairy products, vegetable oils, fruit juice and alcoholic beverages and decrease in the consumption of starchy staple foods such as bread, potatoes, rice and maize flour. “Other aspects of the lifestyle also changed, notably, large reductions in physical activity and usually diets which were based on one or two starchy staple foods, with low intakes of animal products, fat, and sugar,” he said. Exercise not only lowers blood pressure but protects the heart against rhythm disturbances, lowers LDL-cholesterol and raises HDL cholesterol, which is good for the body. Medical terms describe 20 per cent above the ideal body weight as obesity and the health effects relate to heart diseases, diabetes, orthopedic and respiratory complaints. Prescribing the diet, Dr. Goel cautioned against excess intake of alcohol, tobacco, fast food and deep-fried snacks. “Make it a point to choose water as a drink and alcohol as a societal drink only. This would diminish your chances of contracting common cases like cirrhosis of the liver, cognitive impairment or fetal alcohol syndrome in newborns etc.,” he said, while adding “Eat more fruit and vegetables, milk etc. Non-vegetarians can have eggs, fish or chicken but the intake of excess red meat should be checked,” said
Dr. Goel. |

Machine for detection of liver diseases launched
Amritsar, October 30 The technology is connected to the ultrasound imagining machine and can detect lever diseases like liver tumours, those causing cirrhosis, and to know the stage at which hepatitis
is prevalent. Chief radiologist Dr Atul Kapoor said the technology has a huge potential in India where liver diseases are alarmingly high due to addiction to liquor and drugs. He said the viral infection hepatitis A to E and non-alcoholic fatty disease have been highly prevalent in the Northern India due to rich food and intake of butter, ghee and sugar. He said in India 2.5 million people have been afflicted with hepatitis C virus and the early detection can help cure them. According to experts, the fatty liver disease has been spreading at an alarming rate with every fifth person facing the problem. “Astonishingly, a large number of children between the age group of 10 and 15 are obese and have contracted the disorder. Due to lack of highly advanced diagnostic equipment, it is not possible to diagnose the problem at the early stages. This machine is a great boon for early detection of liver disorder, which is curable too.” Dr Kapoor said earlier there was no method to know the stage of the disease and the only way was a liver biopsy, which was not only risky and painful, but also the results were variable. He said the state-of-the-art machine would benefit people with liver ailments.
