Feel Think and Write
I love expressing and sharing my views on diverse topics from our surroundings and the situations I encounter in my life journey. It's always a wonderful feeling to share your own views and listen to others. This makes me rich in thoughts, feelings and knowledge and makes me aware of the fact that what I know is negligible in front of all that I don't know. We all will be stories one day, let's make it a beautiful one.

My Vision for Health in India
My views on a health care system which not only treats but heals the suffering too. There is nothing called ideal and the needs and definition of ideal changes with time.
Here are some views which i suggested during a seminar.
Health is the greatest Wealth and Bliss
- Health Budget both
state and central should be made five times of existing, with at least a
quarter of it going for preventive aspect.
- Focus on preventive
Health: Fall ill and then come to me is the mantra, don’t fall ill and
don’t come to me should be the Mantra of Health Sector.
- Preventive medicine
by simple life style changes and screening for diseases are hardly advertised,
instead curative aspect is promoted and advertised. Commercial interests are always on top.
- Screening to identify
disease at earlier stage
- Medicines of God are
Food and Nature: and today they
are the most neglected. We all are eating garbage most of the times. No
control of food hygiene in most of our shops. Our youth is eating the unhealthiest
food possible.
- Life Style should include:
Hobbies/Yoga/Exercise/Art and Music/seasonal and regional Food/Nature and
Travelling. Hobby Classes and Regular Counselling of medicos.
- Our existing town
planning is the right culture medium for microbes.
- Zero tolerance for corruption:
but sadly how many times have you heard the regulatory bodies in taking
punitive measures against health care providers who are corrupt.
- Compassion and
transparency amongst health providers.
- Strict punitive
action against segments of public who try to harm with their malafide
agenda against health service providers.
- Bonds in health
sector should go away, especially for junior and senior residents. They
are not bonded labourers. Make your infrastructure and service condition
good, so they themselves stay.
- Existing PHC, CHC,
District Hospitals should be made infrastructure and manpower rich so that
load on tertiary health care hospitals is reduced. Three tiers Health
System with proper referral policy in place is must.
- Paramedics’ cadre
should be strengthened.
- Integration of
different fields of medical sciences like Ayurveda and other traditional
health systems is must. Music and Art therapy also play a very positive
role in many chronic diseases. Music meditation: Healing Your Heart and
Soul. Wellness clinics should be promoted.
- Health Insurance should
cover the entire population with equal coverage value, with premiums varying
based on income level.
- Indian Health Service
cadre should be created for administration of health services in a better
way.
- There should be
strong bond and healthy coordination between three wings of system: Health
Education and Research, Clinical practice and Health Administration.
- Data maintenance and
Collection with proper computer records.
- Premier institutions
with decades of excellence and proven records should be given more liberty
in designing their own policies in medical education and research.
- Green Hospitals and Colleges should be promoted and made mandatory. Rain water harvesting, solar power, water recycling etc should be mandatory.
Let’s Heal the Humanity, not merely Treat the Disease.
