Is traditional pharmacy still superior than online pharmacy?

  The most important luxury developed by human in 21st century is home delivery of anything. A man has evolved a lot but at the same time he is going into the idle state of lifestyle. Though it's a good thing actually to make the life easier, it can't be true for all of the products we use. Especially the things which deals with human life can't be ignored easily. It is the coolesst thing nowadays to order online. In metro and mega cities the culture is developed already to the food dishes and now it's entering into the small towns too. It's not a hazardous thing to stop someone using online delivery services. But when it's a matter of medicine, It surely needs some attention. Over the years, the way people purchase medicines has evolved significantly. The advent of technology has given birth to the concept of online pharmacies, which has revolutionized the traditional pharmacy industry. Online pharmacies, also known as e-pharmacies, allow customers to order med

Are Diabetes and Hypertension overrated?

A man aged 45 was taken to the hospital. The reason was just fall down due to vertigo. It wasn't his first time. Seldom such events were found in the history. The reason could be any serious thing but actually it was pretty simple. He was on antidiabetic medicines for last 6 months. The medicine was started just after two readings of fingertip sugar within 3 days on different time frame after and before lunch. Was it enough data to diagnose a giant one? Actually the diabetic readings were just temporary. Medications worked wrong for him and hypoglycemic shock was the reason of his fainting. Just some sugar cubes or a chocolate could be the treatment of that time for the conscious patient otherwise you just had to drip in plain dextrose infusion. World is suffering from non communicable diseases (NCD) widely. Lifestyle is the key substance behind this ' NCDemic '. Cancer, hyper or hypothyrodism, obesity, hypertension, diabetes etc are the well-known players of this team. Bu

Why is rural India suffering from doctor deficiency?

  We are moving towards the development. Indian people have changed their lifestyles rapidly in last decade. Our urban and metro areas are filled with luxurious lifestyle and at the same time villages are shrinking day by day. The only reason is the lack of the speed of development. Rapidly the cities are growing but the same thing and pace doesn't apply to the rural areas. That's why lots of inconvenience stops the people to spend whole life in village especially public servants. If public servants don't want to stay here, how will be the development of rural areas possible?   We can figure out other rural problems slowly but we can't neglect the health services. To the last person health is the most serious and necessary service for the survival and healthy lifestyle. Unfortunately we are still a little slow on it. Ayushyman Bharat Yojana tried to patch this void space but a lot of things need to be done rapidly. Almost on every 1 lac population there should be a Comm

Safe motherhood and its challenges

The best feeling of the world only a woman can describe is motherhood. Everything changes suddenly after a new life in the lap.  All the priorities come behind that little miracle. It looks very pretty and interesting but wait this motherhood pays a lot in terms of a woman's life. Every year on April 11 we celebrate National Safe Motherhood Day on Smt. Kasturba Gandhi's birthday.  This day is the occasion to think over motherhood and its challenges. Pregnancy is a precious gift but at the same time there is always a risk for the mother. All the women go through this challenge to welcome the new life. To raise the awareness about prenatal, childbirth and postnatal services this day is a symbolic presentation to maintain healthy motherhood throughout the year. During pregnancy and post pregnancy the most common mistakes done by Indians are improper diet plan. They don't take it seriously and that's why there is abundance of cases we can see of anemia. Anemia isn't jus

Are Health and wellness centres serving the purpose?

  Last some years were very volatile for the public health sector. Corona crisis shook the entire sector but in another way it also lead the sector to come out of it with the strength. Before the pandemic Indian government introduced the ambitious plan of Ayushman Bharat. The major bullets of this scheme were Ayushman medical insurance card and Health and Wellness Centres (HWCs).  HWC is the new structure of rural health and that is why it takes some hard controversies at the time of introduction of NMC bill. The major controversy of this new system was the qualification of the Community Health Officers (CHO) appointed on HWC. Especially doctors opposed with strikes on this new idea of NMC bill. They were totally offended by the decision made by govt to provide a doctor like service from a noncapable paramedics who were just nursing personals with six months of bridge course. The qualification as well as responsibilities given to the CHO was actually a master stroke from government to

Why do doctors prefer particular brands of medicines?

No.. it's not a debate on generic vs branded. It's branded vs branded. As a modern person everyone likes to be up to date with latest brands whether they're wearbles or fashions or technologies or appliances. We make our surroundings full of latest things. Now a days nobody wants even android 9 phones when android 12 is knocking the door. That's all the psychological tricks a brand creates on mass. In case of healthcare why should we fall behind? Let there be new horizon for medical science too. Day by day we encounter a plenty of news regarding medical technologies and that's why everyday new molecular networks are built to overshadow the existing.  In this race ultimately we obtain a novel thing which minimises our discomforts more aggressively. That's the need of time. In this case we can't deny the efficiency of old one but we get newer options to compete and competition is always beneficial to consumers. So more will be the options better will be the sc

Corona vaccine: hesitancy and eagerness

...And finally 2021 is rising with the news of corona vaccine approval in India. The most awaited moment has been arrived. The dangerous 2020 slapped us from every aspect including health, economy, social life and mental stability. 2020 tested us from the bottom and here we are at the edge of 2021. All those who survived this difficult time are the warriors according to Darwin's principle 'The Survival of Fittest'.  But still the fittest testing is on. The audition for the best human being is still continue.   Now it's time for vaccine administration. The hope and courage our scientists have been showing should not be wasted by our irresponsible acts. Corona virus was an unsolved question just before some months and now we are gradually getting rid of it. We have so many doubts in our minds and the same doubts have been arised from the vaccine arrival.   We knew nothing about vaccine. That leads us to guess various ideas about its composition, its efficacy and i
