'Country needs more health volunteers than doctors'
|
15.4.2014 |
deccanherald.com |
| United Nations-World Health Organisation Regional Advisor (retd) Derek Lobo has said that to enhance the health sector in the country, India needs more health volunteers than doctors.
"India has 360 medical colleges producing 40,000 doctors annually. Still, the infant mortality rate and maternal mortality rate could not be checked.
As the majority of people who have no access to healthcare are in rural areas, we want more health volunteers to address this grave issue." Lobo was delivering address at the foundation day celebrations of NGO Health Care Foundation here on Saturday.
To substantiate his argument, Lobo said that in many African countries National TB Manager or National Leprosy Manager are non-medical personnel and those countries have a commendable track record in eradicating diseases like Malaria, TB and Leprosy.
He elaborated that to cure Malaria, TB and Leprosy, doctors are not inevitable but health volunteers are a necessity.
"We should look at health care in a wellness perspective and not ... |

Two per cent of blood collected in Maharashtra discarded
|
11.4.2014 |
DNA: Recent Columns |
| A part of the total number of blood bags collected in the state goes waste as the blood is infested with communicable diseases. Figures on blood units for the last three released by State Blood Transfusion Council show that blood banks have had to discard 2% of its collection because of this. Last year SBTC collected 14.75 lakh units, of that 29,000 were discarded.
There are 300 SBTC-controlled blood banks in the state. Maharashtra is the number one in the country in terms of blood collection. Last year, the state's total collection was 14,75,238 bags.
The main reason why blood is thus discarded is because donors are found to have been infected with diseases like HIV, Hepatitis B, Hepatitis C, Venereal Diseases or Malaria. As per protocol, after every unit of blood collected has to be screened before it is issued to patients.
The maximum numbers of blood bags thus discarded was due to donors being infected with Hepatitis B. Hepatitis C and HIV infected donors were also common. However, there weren't many ... |
