ALOCHANA

1. At present we have 0.9% of national income towards health. This should be increased at least to 3%.

2. PHCs are to be provided with infrastructure.

3. Every PHC should be given an ambulance.

4. There should be an MRI, and a CT scan, at district HQ hospitals.

5. The vacant posts of nurses, male nurses, and other paramedics should be employed.

6. The number of doctors available to the public should be increased.

7. Preventive steps should be given priority than cure methods.

8. Vaccines should be given regularly.

9. Potable water is to be provided. With many diseases like typhoid, dysentery, hepatitis-B, fluorosis like diseases can be cured.

10. Good sanitary facilities should be provided which can prevent diseases like dengue, yellow fever, malaria, etc.

11. Training hospitals should be taken up to super-specialty hospitals.

12. every private nursing home should get registered. They should be made accountable to the public.

In our state

In training hospitals 1,024 posts are lying vacant. No body is applying for. So the government should enhance salaries to get our intelligentsia from brain drain.

In our state there are 23,000 villages and 35,000 habita-tions. At present we have 1570 PHCs, 12,255 sub-centres.  These are far away to meet the rural people.

For every one thousand people one unit should be formed in rural India.  In that one trained health assistant, one lady assistant, and a compounder are to be posted.

Those RMPs who have already settled and treating people should be retained as they are. If needed such are to be trained.

As per government’s modifications in health department – main document –

            The present number of doctors, and health assistants, are not sufficient. It should be modified keeping the ever growing population in view.

            To get medical specialists in rural India, attractive salaries are to be given.

            The present day technology-- ultra sonography--is very useful to identify the gender of the baby.  Thus a female baby can be killed, or abortioned. This is reducing male-female ratio. For every 1000 boys the girls ratio in Punjab is 874, in Haryana 861, in Chandigarh 773, in Tamil Nadu 986, and so on. This is really a dangerous situation. The government should take proper steps in this issue.

            The government should do something to improve Human Development Index figures;

In human resources development India stands in  135 position.

            We do not have per capita income but per capita debt. Every baby born in India is in a debt of 22,000 rupees.

            Among 174 countries, India stands in 39^th position in poverty.

            India has to march a lot to achieve minimum needs to its people. China got independence two years later             than us. But it is in number one world countries list. Its per capita income is 9700 dollars. It plays a prominent role in UNO. When the whole world was facing financial crisis, it conducted Olympics and showed to the world how economically powerful it is.

ACIDITY -- 3

ACIDITY  --  3

AILMENTS & REMEDIES

 

Our stomach produces acid to digest the food that we eat. This is a regular and natural process. Whenever we eat, cells within the lining of the stomach pump acid to liquefy your sumptuous dinner, from mash potatoes to a slab of steak.

Problem occurs when these cells produce large amount of acid, more than your stomach needs. When this happens, you will suffer from stomach acidity. You would know if you were suffering from stomach acidity if you feel a burning sensation just above the stomach, or right below (the hollow part) your breastbone. This is the most classic sign of acidity.

Symptoms:

·         Respiratory problems.

·         inadequate weight.

·         vomiting.

·         coughing.

·         turning down food.

·         heartburn,

·         chest and stomach pain,

·         gas formation in stomach.

Root Causes

A weakness of the valve between the stomach and oesophagus (food pipe) can cause a reflux of the acid from the stomach to the lower part of the oesophagus. This gastro-oesophageal reflux can cause heart-burn.
Sometimes, a heavy meal or increase in intra-abdominal pressure such as while straining or lifting weights, can bring about this reflux.

Excess acid secretion can also cause acidity and ulcers, when the normal protective lining of the stomach and duodenum (the part of the intestine that joins the stomach), is damaged.

The resulting ulcer is called gastric ulcer if it is in the stomach and duodenal ulcer if it is in the duodenum.

In a condition known as Zollinger-Ellison Syndrome, a large amount of acid is secreted because of stimulation by tumours located in the pancreas or duodenum.

Any kind of break down in the defense mechanisms that protect the stomach and intestine from damage by acid can cause acidity.

The body secretes bicarbonate into the mucous layer, which neutralises the acid.

Hormone-like substances known as prostaglandins, help to keep the blood vessels in the stomach dilated, ensuring adequate blood flow.

Lack of adequate blood flow to the stomach may contribute to ulcers.

Prostaglandins are also believed to stimulate bicarbonate and mucous production, which help protect the stomach.

Consumption of alcohol,

highly spicy foodstuffs,

irregular food habits, and

Non Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs (NSAIDs)

also predispose to gastric acidity.

There is a higher incidence of acidity in highly emotional and nervous individuals. It is also more common in the developed and industrialized nations, though a recent increase in incidence has also occurred in the developing countries.

Diet & Lifestyle	·         Avoid foods that are rich in oils and fats. These foods are difficult to digest, so they may make the stomach release more acids. ·         The diet should contain a proper blend of all the tastes. Spicy food must be just one dish rather than the whole meal. ·         Fibers are necessary in the diet as they help in the digestion. ·         Red meats must be eaten only occasionally, if at all. ·         After a meal, the body must be given some sort of exercise. This could be as simple as going for a stroll. ·         Too much addiction to strong foods such as tea and coffee may cause hyperacidity. This is also true for other addictions such as smoking and alcohol. ·         Do not consume sour foods as they already have acidic contents. Acidic foods to avoid are pickles, curds, tamarinds, vinegar, etc. ·         Avoid or limit alcohol. ·         Maintain upright position during and at least 45 mins after eating. ·         Try elevating the head of bed 6 - 8 inches when lying down.
