~ A PAN India approach by MedscapeIndia is focusing on the well being of the healthcare community ~
August 2020, Mumbai; Doctors around the globe have been working very hard in order to contain COVID-19 virus since the past six months. These health workers have left no stones unturned in leading the battle against COVID- 19. Leaving their lives and family behind, doctors are working round the clock to tackle every given challenge. Stress and exhaustion have affected the healthcare workers physically and mentally. They have been overworked for the last six months, many of them are working without a day’s leave. The job is so taxing as the Doctors have to treat critical patient, visit containment zones, deliver pregnant, symptomatic and other high-risk contacts, quarantine people, deal with corona positive patients and send them into home isolation, COVID Care Centres (CCC) or hospitals.
The concerns, efforts and dedication of the healthcare community, has further encouraged the team of MedscapeIndia, one of the leading organisations to form a ‘Doctor Welfare Committee’ with 5 core team with the support of the renowned MD Radiologist, Dr Sunita Dube. The healthcare committee is formed in order to acknowledge the job of our medical heroes also to save the lives of doctors who are saver of lives of many covid19 patients.
This initiative aims to reconsider the incentivization of the redraft of medical policies of the community.
The team will be introducing minimum 100 beds hospitals in association with Government especially designed for our doctors and medical staff who are fromboth Private as well Government sectors. The healthcare centres are said to be made up of the latest advanced technologies and medical equipments to provide superior healthcare facilities.
The Doctors Welfare Committee at MedscapeIndia has also highlighted this topic and written to the State Chief Ministers and Health Ministries of Delhi, Maharashtra, Gujarat, Uttar Pradesh, and Karnataka. The issue has been acknowledged by a few states which will eventually help in speeding up the process in terms of allocation of hospitals and provision for funds as well.
In the first phase, the prime concern would be to target the states which have higher number of infected doctors and healthcare personnel. However, the facilities at these hospitals will focus on the health, insurance and safety of not only the healthcare community and their family members but will also be available to support the common public whenever in need.
It is observed that, under the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic, the deaths of healthcare professionals have been increasing as compared to the common public. The number of actual COVID-19 related deaths among doctors is accounted to be 7% to 10%, as they are exposed to the cases directly in hospital setups. They have neglected their own conditions in order to serve the Nation. Every segment be it police, army, navy, air force, railway among others avails customised medical facilities. However, Doctors being in their own field are not benefited equally and lack the privileged access due to current medical policies. As there hasn’t been any provision to ensure their own safety and that of their families, colleagues and staff, the team of MedscapeIndia comes forward to offer this special medical support.
The aim here is to reduce the percentage of the fatalities among the community, under the right to health and safety as any other citizen of country.
Commenting on the same, MD & Radiologist, Dr.Sunita Dube says, “My motto has always been to bring about a change in the society and contribute to make India a leading country in the world.Our honourable Prime Ministry has always focused on improvising the healthcare sector. With the ongoing pandemic, we have observed the sincerity, diligence and efforts of our health care providers. In order to save our lives, it is important that we take into account the primary concerns towards the welfare of our Doctors as well. At MediascapeIndia, we have formed a Doctors Welfare Committee to grant special norms to the healthcare community. The aim is to provide them equal rights on health & immediately reduction of death rate.”
While we are all thinking about the post pandemic World, Dr. Dube, already has in place the agenda that can help to achieve the goals towards society.
