  • Venkaiah Naidu decries shortage of doctors, medical colleges

    Despite health insurance programmes like Ayushman Bharat which offer financial protection to 10.74 crore deprived rural families, India is lagging far behind developed countries in health care, according to M Venkaiah Naidu, Vice President.

    The Vice-President decried the shortage of trained doctors and dearth of medical colleges in the country. He made this observations while inaugurating modern facilities in a corporate hospital in Chennai on Monday. According to Naidu, the inadequate number of physicians available per 10,000 people in India was an area of concern  when compared to developed countries.

    “While the number of physicians available is 20 per 10,000 population in developed countries , it is only six in India. As against the World Health Organisation norm of one doctor per 1,000, there is one doctor per 1,700 population in India,” pointed out Naidu.

    He said that in order to reach the target set by the WHO, a high level committee of the erstwhile Planning Commission (known now as NITI Ayog) has recommended the setting up of 187 more medical colleges by 2022.

    The Vice-President also pointed out that 62.58 per cent of the population in the country meet medical and hospitalisation expenses on their own. He attributed this to the low penetration of medical insurance and shortage of doctors.

    “One of the biggest challenges in building a comprehensive healthcare system is the existence of huge disparity between urban and rural areas. No doubt, healthcare has been accorded utmost priority by successive governments since Independence. But many challenges on this front continue to be formidable. They include low public spend, low doctor-patient ratio, low patient-bed ratio, rising out-of-pocket expenditure, dearth of medical colleges and trained doctors, inadequate infrastructure in rural areas, lack of penetration of health insurance and inadequate disease surveillance and preventive mechanisms,” said Naidu.

    He had called for a law that makes rural practice mandatory for all doctors. “Doctors should set up practices in rural areas. The Centre and State governments must make a rule that whichever doctor, who graduates or completes post graduation , after working for sometime, they must also work in the rural areas before they get their first promotion,” Naidu said on Sunday while inaugurating another corporate hospital in the city. He also called for wider health insurance coverage in the country.

    The statistics disclosed by the Vice-President substantiates the scenario in India’s health sector explained by G Viswanathan, chancellor, VIT University in 2012. “We require 12 lakh doctors and 36 lakh nurses to satisfy WHO norms. To fulfill the WHO norms we may take decades if we expand in the snail speed,” Viswanathan had said during the convocation ceremony of VIT.

    Dr GR Raveendranath, general secretary, Doctors Association for Social Equality (DASE), a frontal organisation of the CPI, has been suggesting that it is possible to increase the number of medical colleges in the country without any hassle. “All we have to do is to convert the General Hospitals in the district headquarters into medical colleges. It is a win-win situation for all stake holders because the infrastructure is already there. The up-gradation of the hospitals into medical colleges will increase the facilities without much costs,” said Dr Raveendranath.

  • Editorial :- The nationalism of the Sangh is the separatism of the Congress

    Congress denotes separatism This is the reason that Hamid Ansari, after being removed from the post of Vice President, became the symbol of the first jihadi fundamentalist separatism and joined the ISI-affiliated organization of the organization PFI at a function. Seeing this scene, the polynomial Janayoghari Brahmin Rahul Gandhi and his mother were quite energetic. Since the Congress does not go public with Janpath, it was natural to sprinkle the leader of the blind-witted Congress leader of Nehru-Gandhi Dynasty.

    Here’s a picture of how this situation happened later.

    During the Gujarat assembly elections, Rahul Gandhi had knocked on the doors of the temples while digging the votes of the Hindus to be called the Janawardi Brahmin. On the other hand, the star campaigner of the Congress to grab the votes of Muslims was Buran Wani, a devotee of the Hurriyat who considered the leader of the Hurriyat, Salman Nizami

    Prior to the Karnataka Assembly elections, Congress’s Karnataka cabinet decided to withdraw the case against the Muslim organizations’ Jihadi Front (PFI) and the Karnataka Forum for Dignity (KFD) workers. Who had been called from Kerala for the riots in different parts of the state in recent years.

    There is nothing new for Gandhi Dynasty. From Pandit Nehru to all other descendants, during their own reign, they have been following the policy of votebank politics and rule.

    It is worth noting that Jigrass got financial support from Jihadi organization PFI at the time of Gujarat elections.

    Omar Khalid’s father, who has been the officer in the SIMI terrorist organization PFI is a renamed form of this banned organization, SIMI. Omar Khalid, Kanhaiya Kumar and Hardik Patel are on trial for treason On the basis of these same people, Rahul Gandhi is looking forward to becoming the Prime Minister.

    I think it’s fair to do this more clearly. There were two Home Minister Sushil Shinde and P. Chidambaram in the UPA regime. Both of them spread the lies of Hindu terrorism, saffron terrorism.

    Two Pakistani citizens were arrested by the police in the compromise blast. In the case of the Sarpanch and Malegaon blasts, the innocent Karnal Purohit and Pradnya Bharti were imprisoned in the jail to defame Hindus and make Pakistan happy.

    The UPA government wanted the union chief Mohan Bhagwat ji to be arrested in the case. But immediately after this thought, the conspiracy did not succeed with the end of UPA rule.

    Now on June 7, in the Sangh’s program, former President Pranab Mukherjee has approved to join and give speeches on nationalism, this is because some Congress leaders are hurt.

    Sandeep Dikshit, who called the Chief of the Army Staff Vipin Rawat as a street punk, has favored the former president’s move.

    Senior Congress leader CK Jafar Sharif has written to Pranab Mukherjee not to join the Sangh’s program. It is also said, “I do not understand, what is such compulsion?”

    It is pertinent to remind the separatist leaders of the Congress that in 1963, Nehru was reminded of the union workers being called in the Republic Day parade. It is also being reported from the Sangh that on the call of senior leader Eknath Ranade, Indira Gandhi had unveiled the Vivekananda Rogue Memorial in 1977. The Sangh also praised the relief work done during floods and other emergencies.

    If the Congress does not have the secularism today, then it will have to adopt nationalism instead of separatism.
