Discussion on new medical cases: Now whats this? What has to be discussed? Chaitanya had written and few others replied few days back that there could not be any pre-fixed guidelines for taking up medical cases. In this country, medical cases are plenty, especially with CHD (Congenital Heart Disease). And most of them are BPL. Very few of them get noticed by the media and then we get to know about them. There are many who do not get the opportunity to reach the media and after fighting with the disease and death till they can, they give up and collapse. Unfortunately nothing much have been done by the government. Only few cases who can reach govt. through White Ration Cards, get some financial assistance. Recently the Govt. has introduced a scheme called AROGYA SREE where the patient will be seen and refered by some govt doctor to a recognised corporate hospital and the hospital will undertake the surgery. In this case, the patient need to have a White Card and a referral from some govt doctor stating that he needs a surgery. Then he need not spend a single rupee and the corporate hospital will do the surgery and will claim the amount from an insurance company which is tied-up with AROGYA SREE project.Thing is that the money is very less and many hospitals may not do it for they cannot charge a single paisa more than the offered price by the government. Anyway, Mediciti hospitals has opted to undertakse such cases and hence if you come across any patient requiring heart surgery, please see if they can produce a white card and can be referred by a govt, doctor for such surgery. (Later if required, I can give a list of the surgeries covered under this project). The best thing is that the patient need not pay a single paisa from admission to discharge. But for the attender, there is no provision. So that maount they have to arrange. Capaigning: Thats ok. See our strength and pick up any/many subject for campaigning. Adopting NIMS Hospital: Now whats ADOPTING NIMS?? NIMS is the best corporate hospital a poor patient can afford to be treated in. What we will adopt? If this thought has crossed anyone's mind, then it is possible that s/he must have seen something where we came to picture. So 1st let us discuss what THEY need and then we will see what WE CAN do for those needs. NIMS is a tertiary-care hospital with all the modalities and much better than both the government hospitals in the city. And even if they are not the best amongst corporates, still they are best in one parameter, that is COST. The cost of treatment is very less if you compare with any other private hospitals here. So what we are supposed to ADOPT there? Ratan
