As you very well know that all the mess of the kind as indicated is created by our bureaucrats only. While sitting on top they see that all others be let down and respect their supremacy and thats why medial profession is relegated to the present status where doctors are denied even basic facilities sustaining their livelihood. I fail to understand what could really be done to address the situation .
Regarding the pregnancy care of rural women SWASTI shall definitely approach your good self when it takes up the issue in its agenda shortly.
Thanks again for your kind interest in SWASTI.

At 2:34am on July 18, 2007, priyesha mishra said…: thanks Dr.Singh for your encouraging comments.Health management in rural India and especially of poor village women is a matter of great concern for SWASTI.Death of a young couple of our working region the other day by snake bite disturbed us badly and it was more shocking that it was not properly handled even by the doctor at PHC of the area.The antivenom therapy was not initiated immediately despite the fact that it was available at the centre.Reason? the doctor was not well trained for such an emergency!And this caused the loss of two precious human lives.Cant this state of affairs be changed ?
