DON'T BUY WIPRO GE PRODUCTS! DON'T TAKE LOAN FROM WIPRO GE FINANCE...

This is the bitter statement issued by dr.srihari- reputed sonologist of tirupati. after went through hard moments in getting service for his newly purchased 35 lacs scan machine and put it in working condition, dr.srihari facing lot of turmoil in repaying the EMIs to finance company.

the wipro GE finance company harassing him with negotiable instruments act and dr.srihari is fighting in judiciary in gurgaon. its a very bad experiance for him. he approached IMA for help. myself,as secretary of IMA AP private medical establishment board talked with concerned authorities and but to no avail. the service people didn't attend the machine. still the equipment is in redundant state. this entire futile exercise has been running since 2yrs.

so, i appeal to all medical fraternity - don't buy WIPRO GE Products. beware of GE finance people.

foreign invasion....

Dear Friends,

Shocking but true......

INTERESTING ARTICLE ON OWNERSHIP OF MEDIA .....ONE MUST READ Who owns the media and who moulds the public opinion in India ?......?

Let us see the ownership of different media agencies.

NDTV:A very popular TV news media is funded by Gospels of Charity in Spain Supports Communism. Recently it has developed a soft corner towards Pakistan because Pakistan President has allowed only this channel to be aired in Pakistan . Indian CEO Prannoy Roy is co-brother of Prakash Karat, General Secretary of the Communist party of India . His wife and Brinda Karat are sisters.

India Today:Which used to be the only national weekly which supported BJP is now bought by NDTV!! Since then the tone has changed drastically and turned into Hindu bashing.

CNN-IBN:This is 100 percent funded by Southern Baptist Church with its branches in all over the world with HQ in US.. The Church annually allocates $800 million for promotion of its channel. Its Indian head is Rajdeep Sardesai and his wife Sagarika Ghosh.

Times group list:Times Of India, Mid-Day, Nav-Bharth Times, Stardust, Femina, Vijay Times, Vijaya Karnataka, Times now (24- hour news channel) and many more...Times Group is owned by Bennet & Coleman. 'World Christian Council' does 80 percent of the Funding, and an Englishman and an Italian equally share balance 20 percent. The Italian Robertio Mindo is a close relative of Sonia Gandhi.

Indian Express:Divided into two groups. The Indian Express and new Indian Express (southern edition) ACTS Christian Ministries have major stake in the Indian Express and latter is still with the Indian counterpart.

Asian Age and Deccan Chronicle:Is owned by a Saudi Arabian Company with its chief Editor M.J. Akbar.

Tarun Tejpal of Tehelka.com regularly gets support from Arab countries, it is reported..

we don't bother weather the media is owned by swadeshi or foreign , if the media is not biased.

we don't complain if the media shows balanced reporting.

The ownership explains, the control of media in India is by foreigners. The result is obvious.

PONDER OVER THIS.

NOW YOU KNOW WHY EVERY ONE IS AGAINST TRUTH, HOW VERY SAD.

DON'T FORGET TO SHARE, LET THE TRUTH BE KNOWN TO EVERYONE

What IMA can do to the success of RNTCP DOTS

IMA APSTATE GFATM RNTCP UNIT-I workshop/ review meet was well organized by Dr.G.S.MURTY & DR.P.S.SARMA IN KAKINADA ON 30-1-11,which was actively participated by all stake holders.

contribution of IMA towards success of RNTCP methodology in fighting against T.B. is well appreciated by one and all.

My observations and submissions to the meet :

• It’s wonderful that we have treated 1.3 crore patients and averted almost 20lac deaths since we have started RNTCP in 1997.

• It’s also pleasant to hear the words of K.S. Sachdeva, Deputy Program Manager, Central TB Division that we have achieved case -detection rate of over 73 per cent and a treatment success rate of over 87 per cent in 2010 against the global benchmark of 70 and 85 per cent respectively.

• Its heartening to note that we have 19 labs having equipped to do newer “molecular-based Line Probe Assay”, which can diagnose MDR-TB in 48 hours as compared to 6-12 weeks taken by conventional tests.

But still there are more challenges lurking to get our serious attention -

A. multi-drug resistant TB (MDR-TB) and

2. TB-HIV co-infection and
3. Another big hurdle is lack of coordination between functional dynamics of public and private players.

D. Still, irrational treatment is the main culprit in emergence of MDR-TB

So,what should the govt. do?

1. Addressing and implementing the program in cemonk centers,geriatric ashrams,paediatric hospitals.

2. The current diagnostic test - sputum microscopy -for TB has been used for 125 years and its not ideal because it doesn’t easily detect the growing number of strains that are resistant to antibiotics, or TB where the patient is also infected with HIV. We have to introduce newer diagnostic test promoted by Dr. Mario Raviglione, Director of the WHO’s Stop TB department which delivers a result in 100 minutes.

3. “Unfortunately, the antibiotics we use to fight TB aren't effective against latent TB and can only be used when the disease becomes active. This is a major problem as 1 out of 10 people who have latent TB will develop the active disease, becoming sick and contagious.”

“If we can figure out a way to treat TB when it's in a latent stage, then we could save millions of lives throughout the world.”

some suggestions to improve this prestigious PPM project are-

What IMA can do?

1. Peer to peer re-sensitization program which will give better results by converting more private physicians in to referral doctors and DOT providers.

2. Involving local IMA branches to establish DMC. By this,we can mitigate apphrensions of private doctors of loosing patients thus involve more private doctors to adhere to the concept of RNTCP.

3. APPOINTING local mobile sputum collector –to collect specimens, to process and to deliver the reports to doctors in a stipulated area.

we , the IMA salutes our India on the occassion of 61st.republic day....republic day

India celebrates Republic Day on January 26.

a day that commemorates the date on which the Constitution of India came into force replacing the Government of India Act 1935, as the governing document of India.

What is country ? a country is not only a chunk of land but also a vibrant community.

A country is not just a state or just an area of land. People have both emotional and practical attachments to the land they live in. Some call this “nationalism” or ‘geo-piety' (meaning attachment for places).

Geopiety is a part of people's sense of belonging to a nation (a group of people belonging to a particular area of land and sharing a common culture). They object to anything that they see as threatening that idea. This is also a fundamental right.

The Survey of India ( www.surveyofindia.gov.in/) is the only authority that can display the official boundary lines of the country.

Some Gossip and some news....

• The karnataka government on Monday ( 24-1-11) told the high court that Medical Council of India has given its nod for the course and that an appropriate application will be filed seeking the course's inclusion at the PG level for academic year 2012-13 in 10 government-run medical colleges.

The government recently announced that it would dissolve the Medical Council of India and a new medical body will be formed under the new Clinical Establishment Act, 2010, which is to be implemented soon. According to this act, any doctor wanting to set up a clinic in any area will have to first take permission from that body before he starts up. "The first condition is that the area where the doctor wants to have his practice should not have more than 10 doctors. Then they want that clinic be on ground floor or first floor and have also specified how much area and what drugs to keep, et cetera. revision of the doctors' licence renewal period from five years to every three years .
