“Sonia Gandhi to launch child health scheme under National Rural Health Mission”
(http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/topic/healthcare)
NEW DELHI: 6th February’13,Times of India: UPA chairperson Sonia Gandhi would launch a new
scheme to improve child healthcare under the National Rural Health Mission, under which every child
younger than six years would be screened for 30 select deficiencies and disorders.
To be kicked off at Palghar, a tribal block in Maharashtra's Thane district, the scheme envisages issuing
a follow-up or treatment guidance to children, depending on their symptoms and health status. The
government plans to roll out this scheme for 27 crore people under 18 years in phased manner.The 30
deficiencies and disorders that children would be screened for include anemia, vitamin A, vitamin D,
acute malnutrition, goiter, alongside some congenital diseases such as cataract, deafness, heart diseases.
About a tenth of India's die of birth defects, while hearing or vision-related developmental delays
affect 10% of children, which could lead to permanent disabilities later in life. Typically, every block
would be equipped with a team of at least four health personnel to carry out the screening process of
children at Anganwadi centres and government schools. Infants would be checked either at medical
centres, their places of birth or through home visits.
Such checks would be conducted at least twice a year, the health ministry said. Every district will have
an 'early intervention centre' to handle the cases that been referred from the block levels. These intervention centres are supposed to co-ordinate with tertiary hospitals to facilitate operations and surgeries.
Early intervention centres would arrange for tertiary health care for children who need surgical care.
The necessary treatment costs would be provided to government as well as private hospitals.

From the Dean’s Desk……….
The short month of February has been a busy one bustling with
many activities. What is true in the academic world with multiple activities
going on in parallel with teaching, field visits, workshops, extracurricular activities, is the same in a hospital set up. At the core is patient
care activities but there are several activities organized for the staff, the
community , outreach activities and corporate social responsibility activities.
This is also true of each of us that we are trying our best to balance different
activities. Keeping the priorities right as we try to achieve more helps us to
retain the balance.
Chitkara School of Health Sciences bustles with activity as we also concentrate on completing the syllabus having completed the halfway mark this semester. This newsletter captures the myriad activities that happened
in February and includes a crossword to truly tickle your brain.
Happy Reading!!!!!
