Build
ART clinics and satellite centres in rural areas:
Experts
Considering the fact that rural areas, home to 70
per cent of the country's population, do not have
functional primary healthcare centres let alone
infertility clinics, patients suffering from infertility,
have to travel all the way towards cities for treatment.
Experts
rue ministry's decision
The Union health ministry's decision of inviting
four big medical schools from the US to impart training
in techniques of public health management to Indian
healthcare professionals is not welcomed by experts
from the medical fraternity who feel that instead
of taking help from abroad, we should find solutions
to our problems based on our systems. |

‘Availability
of products is a major impediment for neuro radiologists’
Dr Harsh Rastogi, senior
consultant and head of radiology, is one of the
very few neuro- interventionists in the country
committed to spread awareness about brain stroke.
After completing MBBS and MD from the King George
Medical College, Lucknow, Dr Rastogi acquired
his post MD training at Sanjay Gandhi Post Graduate
Institute (SGPGI), Chandigarh and NIMHANS, Bangalore,
where he developed interest in intervention. Thereafter,
he did his fellowship in neuro-radiology from
San Antonio Texas, USA. Dr Rastogi has had the
privilege to work with the world-renowned neuro-interventionists
like professor Jacque Moret. Dr Rastogi spoke
with Sapna Dogra about the various facets of neuro-radiology.

management - The way forward
What is the ultimate
goal of any quality management system in healthcare?
Is it merely meeting the accreditation criteria?
To me ‘quality’ is delivering the right
cure and care, at the right time, to the right
person, at the right cost so to ensure patient
satisfaction as well as self-satisfaction. In
other terms, while treating each person one should
leave no stone unturned.

Quite often, due to

Will such suit fail merely due to non-joinder
