Maha to Set Up 24×7 Police Outposts in Medical Colleges for Doctors Safety

Mumbai: In response to escalating concerns over the safety of resident doctors, the Maharashtra government is finalizing plans to establish 24/7 police outposts in major medical colleges across the state. This initiative aims to enhance security measures and protect healthcare professionals from potential assaults and harassment.

The Maharashtra Association of Resident Doctors (MARD) has consistently advocated for stronger security protocols within medical institutions. Incidents where patients’ conditions deteriorate or treatment outcomes are unfavourable have sometimes led to aggressive reactions from relatives, resulting in verbal abuse and physical assaults on doctors.

Resident doctors have expressed concerns that, despite an increase in the number of medical students and patients, security measures have not been proportionately strengthened. The planned deployment of police outposts is a direct response to these concerns, aiming to provide a safer working environment for medical professionals.

A senior official from the Medical Education Department acknowledged these challenges, and told The Indian Express, “We understand the growing security challenges faced by doctors. Plans are being finalized to deploy police outposts in major medical colleges to ensure their safety. The aim is to have officers present round the clock to prevent any untoward incidents”

Emphasizing that healthcare services cannot thrive without a secure and supportive environment for doctors and medical staff, the doctors have been demanding immediate actions to restore trust, ensure the safety of healthcare workers, improve healthcare infrastructure, and uphold justice.

Medical Dialogues had earlier reported that the 15-member NTF, comprising nine senior doctors and five ex-officio government officials, was directed to prepare an action plan to prevent violence against medical professionals and provide safe working conditions for them.

The apex court had asked the NTF to formulate an action plan under two sub-heads — ‘Preventing violence, including gender-based violence, against medical professionals and providing safe working conditions’, and ‘Prevention of sexual violence against medical professionals’.

Under the ‘prevention of violence against medical professionals and providing safe working conditions’ to ensure due security in medical establishments, there has to be training of departments and places within the hospital based on the degree of volatility and the possibility of violence, according to the terms of reference.

Areas such as the emergency rooms and the intensive care units are prone to a greater degree of violence and may possibly need additional security in place to deal with any untoward incident, it said.

The NTF will look into putting in place a baggage and person screening system at every entrance of a hospital to ensure that arms are not carried inside the medical establishment and also to prevent intoxicated persons from entering the premises of the medical establishment, unless they are patients.

UP to Add 1,007 more PG Medical Seats

Lucknow: In major news for students intending to use PG medical courses in Uttar Pradesh, 1,007 postgraduate medical (MD, MS) seats will be increased in the medical institutions of the state.

After the increase of these seats, the total number of postgraduate medical seats in the state will reach 5,035.

Presently, in state medical institutions and medical colleges, there are a total of 4,028 postgraduate medical seats. Of these, 1,906 seats are in 44 government medical institutions, while 2,122 seats are in 36 private medical institutions and colleges.

According to a recent media report in Jagran, medical institutions and medical colleges will have to apply to increase these seats.

Medical institutions and medical colleges will be able to apply to increase seats equal to the number of students deployed in district hospitals and other hospitals under the District Residency Program.

Under the District Residency Program, 25% of the total students studying in the state’s medical colleges are to be deployed in district hospitals and other similar-level hospitals for three months each.

Due to the continuous deployment of such a number of students in district hospitals for three months, the number of students in medical colleges remains lower than the sanctioned seats at all times. Considering this, the National Medical Commission (NMC) has made a provision that medical colleges can apply for an increase in seats equal to the number of students deployed under the District Residency Program.

On this matter, Parthasarathi Sen Sharma, Principal Secretary of Health and Medical Education Department, has instructed the Director General of Medical Education and Training to get applications submitted from institutions and colleges for the increase of postgraduate medical seats.

On Thursday, the Director General of Medical Education issued letters to the medical institutions and medical colleges offering postgraduate studies for this purpose.

Letters have also been sent to the directors of SGPGI Lucknow, Dr Ram Manohar Lohia Institute of Medical Sciences Lucknow, PGICS Noida, Mental Health Center Agra, and Regional Eye Institute Sitapur, as well as the principals of government medical colleges in Kanpur, Agra, Prayagraj, Meerut, Jhansi, Gorakhpur, Azamgarh, Banda, Jalaun, and Saharanpur, reports Jagran.

IMS, SUM Hospital conducts first Deep Brain Stimulation surgery

Bhubaneswar: In a groundbreaking achievement, the Institute of Medical Sciences and SUM Hospital has succesfully conducted Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) surgery to treat Parkinson’s Disease in a 36-year-old patient.

The Institute of Medical Sciences and SUM Hospital has become the first hospital in Odisha to successfully perform Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) surgery to treat Parkinson’s Disease.

Regarded as an advanced and powerful surgical therapy for certain aspects of Parkinson’s Disease (PD), DBS primarily addresses movement-related symptoms and also improves some non-motor symptoms, including sleep disturbances and pain, said Prof. (Dr.) Ashok Kumar Mahapatra, one of the country’s eminent neurosurgeons and SOA’s Principal Advisor (Health Sciences).

According to a UNI report, although DBS does not cure the disease or stop its progression, it significantly improves the quality of life for patients with advanced PD, Dr. Mahapatra told reporters.

He added that DBS is a relatively safe procedure, during which the patient remains awake for most of the surgery.

“Earlier, this condition was treated only with medication, but now it can also be managed through surgery,” Dr. Mahapatra stated.

The pioneering surgery was recently performed on a 36-year-old woman suffering from PD at the hospital.

Prof. (Dr.) Pusparaj Samantasinhar, Medical Superintendent, stated that this was the first time such a surgery had been conducted in Odisha, specifically at IMS and SUM Hospital, reports UNI.

The patient is recovering well following the surgery, he added.

Prof. (Dr.) Lulup Kumar Sahoo, Professor in the Neuromedicine Department who treated the patient, explained that medication often helps patients feel better in the initial four to five years of the disease. However, after that period, medication alone is not as effective for PD patients.

Parkinson’s Disease is a neurodegenerative disorder that affects movement, causing the body to slow down. It occurs due to the loss of brain cells responsible for dopamine production.

The condition commonly affects elderly individuals above the age of 60, said Prof. (Dr.) Panigrahi.

Prof. (Dr.) Sahoo noted that PD is now increasingly being diagnosed in younger individuals. While the exact cause is often unknown, some young patients develop the disease due to genetic factors.

The disease is characterized by movement-related symptoms such as slowness in walking, difficulty writing, a weakened voice, tremors in the hands and legs, stiffness in body parts, and, in some cases, postural imbalance.

Additionally, PD is associated with various non-motor symptoms, including constipation, sleep disturbances, depression, and anxiety, he added.
