Healthcare institutes need to pursue research with a scientific mind




President Pranab Mukherjee on Thursday noted that the country needs institutions which conduct and pursue healthcare research with the application of a scientific and analytical mind. The President inaugurated the Indian Institute of Liver and Digestive Sciences at Sonarpur, South 24 Parganas in West Bengal, where he had mentioned this in the inaugural speech.

He opened his speech saying: “One thing which is missing in those providing healthcare is the attitude of providing service – to serve the sick and to serve the needy with a human touch.” He mentioned that services should be provided with a smiling face to the patient as a smiling face can cure half the diseases. Ruing at the concept of service at these healthcare facilities, the president urged for a human touch to be brought about by the medical professionals.


Along with that, he also expressed how patients have responsibilities as well: "Patients too have some responsibilities. Relatives of patients too have some responsibilities. Vandalising hospitals, beating up doctors (in case a patient dies) are not acceptable.” The experts at Nirmal Singh 3C second his opinions. The relatives of patients have to desist from disruption, violence and hooliganism of any sort when patients are not cured.


He mentioned that big and modern cities have super-specialty hospitals but state-of-the-art healthcare facilities are not touching base where people are residing in lakhs of remote villages in the country. He stressed on the importance of hitting such regions because due to lack of basic amenities, these regions are really behind on the standard of living development has on offer.

With a lot of backed up hope, he stated that the Indian Institute of Liver and Digetsive Sciences will benefit the citizens living in Eastern and North-east India and also in large parts of Eastern Uttar Pradesh. He noted that this institute will allow people to seek treatment related to gastro-intestinal diseases at a very minimal and affordable price in such regions of the country.

He said that this is the first institute in Eastern India dedicated to liver and digestive sciences, other than the only two such facilities at Delhi and Hyderabad. As per the expectations of Nirmal Singh 3C, this institute will prove to be a boon for people suffering from liver diseases, which reportedly claims about 2 lakh lives every year in India. The hospital aims to provide the best of these healthcare facilities at about a 30-40 per cent less cost than other health institutes.

Image
Nirmal Singh 3C made a shocking revelation about cigarette and its harmful effects. As the recent study by the French National Center for Scientific Research, cigarette is the main reason of causing stress among people. Nirmal Singh 3C finds it pretty ironical that on one hand people smoke so as to vent out their stress and frustration, while on the other hand it is pilling more on the heap of stress. This has been further substantiated by a news story published in Efe which says:  an exposure to nicotine cause more stress rather than calming a person up. This is in fact causing rise in anxiety-inducing in smokers. The study has been produced after checking lab mice. The centre’s head of research, Philippe Faure, said: "(The experiments) suggest that nicotine could enhance the effects of stress." Nirmal Singh 3C further finds that the Scientists from the University of Paris-Seine's Neuroscience Laboratory and the University of Nice Sophia Annapolis' Inst...
