AIIMS inaugurated in Raipur - The Times of India


RAIPUR: Union minister for health and family welfare, Ghulam Nabi Azad on Thursday announced to set up a Rs 120 crore cancer institute at Bilaspur and a cancer research centre at Manendragarh in north Chhattisgarh. He was here to inaugurate the All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS), Raipur.

Dedicating the 160-bed hospital here, he said the proposed centre to be set up at Manendragarh, at an estimated cost of Rs 45 crore, would cater to medical needs of tribals. Referring to steps being taken to improve facilities at AIIMS, Raipur, Azad said 4089 posts of doctors, employees and other officers have been sanctioned.

"Our country requires more hospitals with well-equipped doctors and nurses. For states like Chhattisgarh, Madhya Pradesh, Odisha, Bihar and Jammu and Kashmir, Medical Council of India (MCI) has made changes in its rules, as now 20-acre land is being provided for these states. For proper healthcare of kids and pregnant women in rural parts of the country, 'Asha Scheme' has played an important role," he added.Speaking on the occasion, chief minister Raman Singh promised to take initiative to increase the 160-bedded hospital with 1,000 beds.

He said state government has already initiated a series of steps during the last 10 years, to improve medical education facilities, by establishing medical colleges at Jagdalur and Raigarh. While a medical college is being set up at Rajnandgaon, a new medical college is proposed for Sarguja. Referring to a vast population in Chhattisgarh, Odisha and Jharkhand suffering from genetic disorder of sickle cell anaemia, Singh urged the union minister to set up a national level centre for treatment and research on the disease at Raipur. He said lack of infrastructure was not only a challenge being faced by health sector, but the state is also facing challenge of reducing Maternal Mortality Rate (MMR) and Infant Mortality rate (IMR) and other complex ailments.

Union minister of state for agriculture and food processing, Charandas Mahant, state health minister, Amar Agrawal, union health secretary Lav Kumar Verma, state chief secretary, Sunil Kumar and AIIMS, director, Nitin Nagarkar were among those present.

Cheaper drug-eluting stents save 100 lives


MUMBAI: The public health department's crucial decision to negotiate with leading firms to halve the price of drug-eluting stents has helped well over 100 poor patients in just a fortnight. The cheaper stents were launched on February 5.

Public health minister Suresh Shetty had taken a lead in launching the Rajiv Gandhi health scheme for below poverty line individuals on August 16, 2012. A few months after the project was made operational, Shetty found that they had not benefitted in real terms due to the prohibitive cost of such stents.

The scheme had a provision for Rs 18,000 to Rs 20,000 for angioplasty.

Quality stents were not available for Rs 20,000 though, as their prices ranged from Rs 45,000 to Rs 50,000.

"Cardiologists brought to Shetty's notice that only bare metal stents were available for Rs 20,000. They added that considering advances in technology, the metal stent had become almost obsolete and immediate steps needed to be taken either to enhance the cost of treatment or reduce the cost of the stents,'' a senior bureaucrat told TOI.

Shetty held a series of meetings with leading cardiologists and bureaucrats in the public health and medical education department.

This was followed by a proposal to float a tender and sign a rate contract with a section of firms to aid the poor. Accordingly, a tender was floated where quite a large number of firms involved in the manufacture and supply of drug-eluting stents participated.

Two leading firms agreed to provide them for Rs 24,750 each against the current price of Rs 50,000. "We have signed an agreement with the two firms. They will supply the stent with immediate effect,'' the bureaucrat said.

Cardiology professor Anil Kumar said the Rajiv Gandhi scheme was launched in August 2012 and till December 2012, angiography and angioplasty procedures were performed on 132 persons. In 2013, 300 persons benefitted from it.

From January 1, 2014, to February 5, the procedure was performed on nearly 80 persons. But after the price was reduced by half on February 5, in the state-run J J Hospital alone, 35 persons were operated upon in a week. "It's indeed a small revolution. The price of the drug-eluting stent has been reduced from Rs 50,000 to Rs 24,750. It will benefit the poor who cannot afford costly stents,'' he added.

Kumar further said not just those covered under the health scheme, all patients who visit hospitals will also gain since the public health department has entered into a rate contract.

According to the bureaucrat, across the state, more than 100 patients benefitted from the reduced cost.

"We feel that the public health department must draft a comprehensive action plan for reducing the cost of treatment not just in government, but all private hospitals too,'' he said.

Maulana Suhaib Qasmi, head of Jamaat Ulema-e-Hind announced his support for BJP NaMo

Deoband cleric declares support for Narendra Modi

Maulana Suhaib Qasmi heads Jamaat Ulema-e-Hind, which claims to have 16,000 clerics as members

A Deoband-based cleric Maulana Suhaib Qasmi has announced his support for BJP prime ministerial Narendra Modi in the Lok Sabha elections. The decision has created a stir in the area with some sporadic protests by local clerics.

Qasmi ruled out the stigma of Gujarat riots on Modi, claiming the court has given him a clean chit. “Then why do we support Congress, which is also responsible for several riots. Supporting Mulayam Singh and Mayawati is indirectly supporting Congress. So better go with the BJP with your set of conditions,” he stated.

“I have studied at Darul Uloom Deoband and have connections. People are coming out in my support. Muslims also want change and are craving for development,” he said.

Qasmi, who heads Jamaat Ulema-e-Hind which claims to have nearly 16,000 Muslim clerics as its members, has also announced to hold a conference of Muslim Ulemas in Saharanpur in the first week of March.

“There is no harm in trying BJP once. We should deliberate on a development agenda for the community while bargaining for support. No personal interest should be there, which is a practice,” he said.

“When the Madani family which includes both uncle-nephew duo Arshad Madani and Mehmood Madani can change their support to different political parties in every election, there is no harm in supporting Modi. We have given the slogan ‘Vote For Change’, Qasmi told The Indian Express.

A native of Bijnore, Qasmi is extensively touring Muzaffarnagar, Saharanpur and Deoband to garner support for Modi.

“I announced my decision publicly on February 24 in Deoband. I am not regretting my decision which I took after interacting with senior BJP leaders including Nitin Gadkari, Tarun Vijay, Indresh Kumar, Ramlal and J P Nadda. “After deliberations with them I decided to support BJP,” he stated.

Qasmi claimed his campaign has support from several local clerics. “You will be surprised when I will organise a conference of clerics. Muslims want to get rid of Madani family who use Deoband seminary for their personal interests. Innocent students are mobilised for their meetings so that they can show crowd,” he said.

Why Muslims must join forces with BJP to overthrow Congress


Irfan Iqbal Gheta 26 Feb 2014

BJP president Rajnath Singh on February 25, 2014 had urged the Muslims to vote for Narendra Modi-led BJP in upcoming general election. (File photo)

The BJP president Rajnath Singh has inflicted a lethal blow to the Congress. Rajnath Singh has reached out to Muslims and expressed willingness to apologise to the community if there were any past mistakes. The most laudable aspect of Rajnath Singh’s latest move is he has promised the safety of community and security by urging it to vote for the sake of India in the upcoming Lok Sabha election.

BJP and the minorities

The honesty of the efforts shines through his intentions to provide a riot-free governance to India by taking everyone along so as the brotherhood and unity prevail in the nation. Rajnath Singh’s colleague and the BJP’s senior leader Arun Jaitley has hit the nail on the head by stating that the BJP does not treat Muslims as instruments of political power but as equals. These are the assurances to Muslims coming from the two stalwarts of the BJP a party which the Congress likes to portray as the number one enemy of Muslims. But by addressing the community directly, both Rajnath Singh and Arun Jaitley have ensured that the Congress’s false propaganda loses much of its venom ahead of the Lok Sabha election and the community does not feel left out even as the BJP’s Prime Ministerial candidate Narendra Modi is taking rapid strides towards 7RCR.

Muslims should not fear Narendra Modi-led BJP, says Shahid Siddiqui

The BJP’s popularity is going up as the general election is approaching closer and Narendra Modi’s rallies across India are leaving no one in doubt that the days of the Congress are numbered. The next Government in Delhi will certainly have Narendra Modi as the Prime Minister whose pro-development agenda is going to ensure a win-win situation for all. Therefore, the BJP has taken a right step by making an attempt to win the confidence of the minorities on the eve of the crucial election the result of which is well known even before the first vote is cast and ballot boxes are opened.

The Muslim community must give these overtures of the BJP-led by Rajnath Singh serious thoughts. It should not succumb to the temptation of dismissing Rajnath Singh and Arun Jaitley’s assurances as pre-poll gimmicks. The BJP-ruled States are the shining examples of good governance, unity, communal harmony and above all development. If the community is really serious about improving its conditions and joining the mainstream, it should pledge its whole-hearted support to the BJP at least once in this upcoming general election.

Modi effect: Muslims eager for BJP ticket in Delhi poll

The Congress has used the minorities as vote-banks during elections and discarded them after coming to power. What the 60 years of the Congress rule could not do for the minorities the 14 years of Narendra Modi’s rule in Gujarat has done for the minorities where they have been getting good opportunities to progress and prosper with the communal clashes having come to an end. This general election is going to provide Muslims with a perfect opportunity to break free from the decade-old shackles of the Congress and the so-called fear psychosis of the BJP. When Narendra Modi’s development in Gujarat has really helped Muslims to earn and live with dignity without any fear, it makes perfect sense to give the man and his party at least one chance at the national stage.

Unlike the Congress, the BJP will not forget the minorities and leave them to fend for themselves once the election comes and goes. The reason for this is the BJP knows that the minorities have suffered enough at the hands of the Congress that has deliberately kept them backward and believes in tossing freebies at them when the elections are around. The BJP wants to make India a superpower. It wants to create an India that is an envy of the whole world. Narendra Modi wants to fulfil the dream of Swami Vivekananda by placing the Mother India at the place of Jagadguru. The party led by such a spiritual man cannot think of harming or cheating anyone.
