Re: New Delhi: Private Hospitals Problems with ART and PPTCT

[Guest guest]

Dear FORUM,

Re: /message/9925

 

Whther the Sunderlal Hospital is a NACO APPROVED CENTRE OR NOT WE DON'T KNOW?

 

I am not known to the situations in other states. But the situation in Tamill

nadu is entirely different. Here People are aware that the testing is free for

ANC and BPL. Even the Private hospitals are having linkages with the NGOs

working in that area or ICTC or the ART Centre in that region. The clients will

be referred to the ICTC or the mobile team will go and take the blood samples.

Through Indian Medical Association various programmes were conducted for the

members and their hospital staff through the funds given by Clindon Foundation,

TANSACS, APAC and Funding agencies like USAIDS, FHI, Malteser International,

Alliance, YRG Care and so many other agencies and NGOs like ASI and PeaceTrust

and centres of excellencies like CMC, Vellore, MMMHRC,Sri Ramachandra Medical

College, etc..

Even deliveries and surgical procedures are willingly done by secondary and

tertiary level hospitals sometimes using kits supplied by Tansacs. In the

Government hospitals also situations are changing a lot.

 

Here also there are incidents like stigma, discrimination, testing without

counselling, improper disclosure, not importing knowledge to the PLHIV and their

family, no prophylaxis, irrelevant starting, improper and inadequat dosing and

so many.

But they are all of more on the treatment aspect.Counselling is improving as

most of them are realising the need and do it because of good net working and

the quality traing they get.

Dear Dr.Anburajan

Re: /message/9925

You have mentioned everything in Tamil Nadu including the least contributing to

the services available to people. But you have forget to mention the 

involvement of the communities more importantly people living with HIV/AIDS and

their organisations in the HIV prevention, care, support and treatment services.

 

Without the involvment of people living with HIV/AIDS none of the services will

be successful.

 

Dear Furum members kindly acknowledge the communities involvement in your

postings.

 

yours in solidarity

Dear FORUM,

Re: /message/9925

Let me thank Mr. RAMAPANDIAN very much for reminding and empazising the greater

involvement of PLHIV in TN in the fight against HIV.

Ofcourse it is very much real that the Forums of PLHIV, the positive speakers ,

etc are contributing a lot.

Nobody can forget the role of NGOs who empowered the PLHIV to this level by

giving them opertunities in all cadres according to their ability and sometimes

if they are little less, encouranging them to achieve so that they are

benefited.

In PEACE TRUST nearly 45% are PLHIV in the present 4 projects.I know it is true

with most of the NGOs in TN.

 

Once thanks to RAMAPANDIAN.
