Dear Forum, In reference to my quiries(As pasted below) sought under RTI Act from NACO, dated 02/02/2010, some of the information proves that still remaining "Black Spots" in Treatment is not taking cared of or ignored by reasoning but threat to the lives and Rights of people living with HIV in India.
For example, Question no.5.Does all NACO ART Centers ensuring Audiovisual Privacy throughout India? Ans: "All efforts are made to ensure Audio visual privacy during counseling at all ART Center within the constraints of availability of space in the hospital where ART Center is functioning". Is it believeable practically? Why such hospitals has been selected for ART Centers? Isn't it a major black spot in practical treatment delevery? Does NACO Exparts know/feel the impact of such CARE LESS part of the Treatment, on the clints of ART Centers? Another Example, Question no.9. Why still now GIPA Coordinator Posts in different SACS like MPSACS are still vacant? Which are the SACS with ongoing GIPA Coordinator vacancy? Answer: Posts are vacant mainly due to unavailability of suitable candidates. Posts are still vacant as per information available to NACO till december 2009 are Madhya Pradesh,Andaman and Nikobar islands, Goa, Jharkhand, Maharastra, Rajasthan, Tamilnadu, Arunachal pradesh, Assam, Meghalaya, Sikkim and Pondecherry. The answer proves that still today GIPA is overlooked/ ignored in Reality. What efforts have been taken by NACO to promote GIPA within the PLWH community(Old and new ) and how PLWH community is being empowered about GIPA to meet up the selection criteria of GIPA? Is it true that PLWH community lacking Graduates? Why Graduate PLWHs are not coming forward? Does the Advertisement for the post reaches to all PLWH communuty? Finally, how long the ongiong practice of NACO will last to ignore our Basic Rights just by causing, cousing and causing? Thanking you In solidarity, Snehansu Bhaduri [email protected] 9874693613(mob) Note: Please find the copy of complete reply sheet in attachment or ask if any body need this personally.
