India has an estimated 20.9 lakh people living with HIV. However, nearly 30 -35 percent of these do not know there HIV status. After a person gets infected with HIV, there is a long asymptomatic period of 5-8 years when infected person may not have any symptoms till his immunity goes down significantly and he start getting different opportunistic infection like TB, diarrhoea, fungal infection etc. Hence most of the HIV infected persons present to health system in late stage when immunity is very low and their response to treatment may not be optimal. Also during this long asymptomatic period of 5-8 years, though they are infected but may not be aware of HIV status and are capable of spreading the infection their spouse or others if they continue to indulge unprotected sex.

Early detection of PLHIV is beneficial for patient himself as he can receive timely appropriate treatment including ART as well as for the community to stop further transmission of HIV.

We invite suggestion from community/ NGO/ CBO/ Civil society and public at large their views/ ideas on How to facilitate early detection of People Living with HIV (PLHIV) and put them on ART as soon as possible.

Last date for sending your suggestions is 26th November, 2014.

It’s my life! (2) First module concentrates on moral values. Second emphasizes “Life is beautiful, enjoy it to maximum”. Third is about professional competencies and values and fourth about achieving excellence. The aim is to help children arrive at decisions about what they want to do in their lives. If academics is not their cup of tea, they branch off after X / XII to requisite direction. If academics is cup of tea, they decide their brand and flavor by the the time they pass XII. Contd.

It’s my life! (1) As per McKinsey report on education system, even after graduation, only 40% students know what they want to do in life. Compared to this, our Gurukul system was far more effective. It’s my life is concept to integrate essence of Gurukul teachings with current education system. It is a total module of 12 hours covered over four years to students of IX, X, XI and XII. The modules contain short video clips for half the duration and children’s views for other half. Contd.

For creating a healthy India we can not rely only on treatment of disease which people are suffering from but we need to focus on mandatory checking of their health parameters on regular basis and making them aware their physical health and suggesting measures to improve it.At present the health center become mere center for dispensing pan killers and paracetamols. For achieving this we need to set our system accountable and monitor it with neutral system.

Dear PM, Your recent speech in Sydney & in Parliament house in Canberra was very encouraging. I would like to bring your attention to one area were India is lagging behind almost all countries. It is emergency medical care . In US they have 911 in Australia we have 000 as the nationwide emergency calling number. Children are taught how to call Ambulance when they are in grade 1 onwards . We do not have a national number , most of the country do not have ambulance service at all.

respected PM, I am doctor, aged 78 years.I know the problems of patients. medical treatment is very costly in privet hospitals, poor and middle class patient can not afford it. Government hospitals are not enough and efficient to cater good medical services to the poor and non-affording patients. there is need to strengthen government medical services. In rural areas there are primary health centers.but most of the time medical staff is not present.

A strong statement from the PM and similar dignitaries on 1st DEC would go a long way is making people realize that AIDS is just a disease And a lot of people (diagnosed recently) were infected accidentally during blood tests, routine injections and even blood donation drives 10-15 years ago when the awareness was not there.

sir, i would like to draw your kind attention towards N.F.Railway central hospital,Maligaon as the condition is getting worse i.e there is no proper full time specialist doctors or resources therefore the employees are bound to go for private treatment even for maternity case which is too expensive which leads to economic loss but we don't have any other option left.. therefore please include Railways in C.G.H.S which will be a great leap in boosting the economic condition of railway men...
