    Petition to The Prime Minister of India alongwith all elected Public Representatives.

    Stop Reservations Specially in Medicare.

    आरक्षण से डर नहीं लगता साहबडर तो आरक्षण से बने डॉक्टर से लगता है � Can we have a Act in our country which specify that whoever supports Reservation will be treated by a Doctor who is from Reservation Quota only & can't get any treatment outside? It's being observed that the people who're ready to burn our Beloved Country for their self gains will get themselves treated by the best deserving Medical Professionals from the Country or will like to go abroad for getting one treated. Then why the Common Citizens only should be at mercy of such mediocre Medical Professionals?  Please act in better intrest of General Citizens in need of Best & Proper Medical Treatment.  Jai Hind �

    Worldwide Campaign to Save the Grand Canyon

    I moved to Arizona over seven years ago, and I immediately fell in love with its beauty. I soon began searching for ways to make a difference to protect and preserve this land. With a like-minded fellow activist also in Arizona, I co-founded SEN4Earth.org, with a mission to educate others about sustainability and conservation. My love for Arizona's environment sparked our first campaign to save the Grand Canyon from uranium mining. When we heard that one of the world's greatest treasures, located in our state, was under threat, we had to act. Currently, a mining moratorium is protecting the Grand Canyon. But that ban is going to expire soon. Mining companies are lining up to destroy the land. If the federal government doesn't renew the mining ban, this is the future we face, according to The Grand Canyon Trust: Within 5 miles of Grand Canyon National Park, there are now more than 1,100 uranium claims, compared with just 10 in January 2003. The Kaibab National Forest has reported more than 2,100 claims filed in the Tusayan Ranger District; thousands more have been staked on BLM lands north of the Grand Canyon in the Kanab Creek drainage and House Rock Valley. At this time, the Interior Department is taking public comments on whether they let the moratorium expire or, instead, enact a 20-year mining ban.  The Grand Canyon is among the earth's greatest on-going geological spectacles. Its vastness is stunning, and the evidence it reveals about the earth's history is invaluable. When we speak of the Grand Canyon, we refer to not only the Canyon itself, but also include the vast and surrounding areas such as the Colorado River Drainage Basin and it's ecosystem, a vital source of water to wildlife and millions of people, numerous wildlife refuges, surrounding designated park and wildlife areas, communities, and cities. Our opinion matters. We have to tell the Interior Department to protect one of America's greatest treasures. Already, there is pollution in the area from some exploratory mining that has gone on.  Again from the Grand Canyon Trust: The National Park Service already advises against "drinking and bathing" in the Little Colorado River, Kanab Creek, and other Grand Canyon waters where "excessive radionuclides" have been found. Several areas of and surrounding the Grand Canyon have already been declared by the U.S. Forest Service and other national agencies as toxic areas. Water supplies and land have been poisoned by radiation from uranium mining run-off. Human, animal and plant lives and species have been lost and continue to be endangered by the toxic contamination. We must all ACT NOW to Save the Grand Canyon! Please join us in signing this petition to halt uranium mining in and around the Grand Canyon.

    Build 50 women-friendly flood shelters in Assam to ensure #DignityInFloods

    If the rapidly rising flood waters weren’t alarming enough, 15-year old Rima* found herself  dealing with another ‘crisis’: her periods. In a hurry to save herself from drowning, there was no time to grab anything, least of all sanitary pads or even a clean, dry piece of cloth. When she finally reached the relief camp - a crowded community centre, a couple of kilometres from her village Hatbor in Assam’s Nagaon district, another ordeal awaited her. There were neither any separate toilets for women nor any menstrual hygiene management facilities. Rima had no choice but to bleed into her skirt for hours, until her aunt somehow found a piece of cloth in the camp. When I first spoke to Rima several months later after her nightmarish experience, she was able to recall every detail and the helplessness she had felt as a woman. In the absence of basic privacy in the common toilets, Rima and many teenaged girls were harassed by men in the camps during their stay. No woman should have to suffer such indignities and humiliations, especially during a humanitarian crisis. Join me in asking the Government of Assam to build 50 women-friendly flood shelters in the 10 most flood-prone districts in the state for the safety and dignity of our women. Sign my petition. I want these flood shelters to have these basic facilities: Gender-segregated toilets and bathing facilities with provision of menstrual hygiene products. I want the government to officially recognise the importance of menstrual health during disasters and put pads in the list of relief items with immediate effect.  Special provisions for lactating mothers and pregnant women Visits by social welfare department officials to ensure safety of women and girls in the flood shelters.  There are many reasons why I believe this is entirely achievable. One, floods are quite predictable in Assam. Second, disaster hits every year and usually in the same areas. Third, most often the same schools and community centres are turned into flood shelters. This means the Assam government can use the predictability of the situation to its advantage by being better prepared - equipping the existing structures and building new ones to provide basic safety, hygiene and dignity to women who are already battling a disaster. Assam Disaster Management Manual 2015 has guidelines for a gender-sensitive approach, but Annual Joint Needs Assessment reports reveal a lack of concrete action on ground.   There is another reason why I believe that the Assam government can be persuaded to work on this issue. It had recently announced it would give one tola of gold to would-be brides. Such a government that cares for the marriage of women, would also care for the condition of lakhs of women who face floods every year. I believe that as citizens we can convince the state government to set an example by building these model women-friendly flood shelters. Sign my petition. We may not be able to stop the floods from striking Assam, but the least we can do is ensure dignity during disaster for all. #DignityInFloods   #SafeSpaces *Name changed for privacy Photo credit: Rudrani Ghosh Photography for Sikun Relief Foundation ASSAMESE VERSION OF THIS PETITION Links Joint Needs Assessment Report Assam Flood Assam Disaster Management Manual Menstruating during Floods - a perspective from Assam One tola gold scheme for brides announced by Assam Government

    People assaulting doctors should be punished like Terrorists

    "We are fighting for a better healthcare environment for the public of this country." What are our demands? Central Law to protect doctors ( even in Non Epidemic Time) - There were assaults on doctors before Corona Epidemic; there are assaults during the corona epidemic; and, if nothing is done, thee will be assaults on doctors after the Corona epidemic.  Punish all who assault doctors - with every assault, morale of doctors decreases. We want motivated and empathetic doctors to treat the patients of this country. Assaulters must be punished.  Safe working environment where doctors can give their full attention to the patient without fearing assault. Attacks on doctors and HCWs must be Non-bailable offence. Justice for the attack on doctors at NRSMCH, Kolkata last year. Justice for every assault on doctors with fast-tracking of all cases of assault on doctors ( even retrospectively). Better healthcare infrastructure for the people of this country.  Availability of all necessary medicines at all times - at times we cannot save a patient due to lack of medicines, and the public outrage is directed at doctors. Doctor should be able to give more time to the patients - this is possible only if the number of doctors is increased with respect to the number of patients. Government should do this.  More ventilators in all hospitals - sometimes the patient dies due to unavailability of ventilators. And the public blames doctors. Not knowing that its the govenrment’s fault. The public of this country has right to be treated by doctors who are well rested and with fresh mind - but this is not possible if there are less doctors and they are made to work 48 to 96 hr at a stretch without sleep and sometimes without food. Duty hours of doctors should be fixed at 8 hrs per day and 48 hr per week.  Patient should be given adequate time in the OPDs - Maximum Number of patients that can be seen by a doctor in OPD in one day should be fixed. If a doctor at the govt hospital treats 200 patients in 8 hours without single break, even then he cannot give more than 2-3 minute per patient.  Doctors should spend their time in treating patients rather than collect samples, transport papers from one part of hospital to other. There should be adequate ward boys for that. This way doctors could give more time to patients. Restricting number of relatives who come to meet patients - Every relative who enters, brings with him germs. Number of complications increase due to this.  Public has the right to be treated by real doctors - It is the duty of the government to clamp down on quacks. When the quacks will decrease, number of cases who reach a hospital late in critical condition will decrease. Rampant sale of antibiotics at pharmacies should stop -  It is the duty of govt to ensure that antibiotics are not sold without prescriptions. When antibiotics are not misused, antibiotic resistance will not increase, infections can be treated and deaths due to sepsis decrease.  Define Administrative negligence  - Availability of Doctors, Paramedical staff, Adequate and good quality medicines, and equipment, stopping quacks from practicing, stopping the sale of medicines without a prescription, etc is the responsibility of Administration( IAS, IPS, Politicians, MLAs, Councillors, etc). Responsibility, accountability, and punishment must be defined.  Increase Healthcare Spending -  With meager healthcare spending, healthcare infrastructure can never improve. Services of a doctor are beyond consumer seller relation - The COVID19 Pandemic has very well established this. Remove services of doctors from consumer protection act and remove the draconian Clinical Establishment Acts.    Thus, if there will be better healthcare, assaults will automatically come down. Hence the doctors are fighting the administration and government to provide better healthcare to people of this country. Help Doctors in this Mission #DoctorsForBetterHealthcare #SupportDoctors "Doctors can guarantee best treatment, but doctors cannot guarantee 100% results." India is struggling to meet the goals of reducing infant mortality and maternal mortality. There is gross lack of Emergency and Intensive Care facilities in smaller towns and cities alike. All critical patients are referred to tertiary government hospitals where the standard of care obviously diminishes if patients flow in numbers many times more than the handling capacity of doctors there. Even tertiary private institutes are overburdened. Government medical colleges in smaller towns refer the patient indiscriminately. This is increasing the cost of healthcare immensely. There is a need that indiscriminate referring be stopped. There is a need that the cases that can be handled at medical colleges in smaller towns be managed there. There is a need that smaller government or private hospitals and nursing homes become well equipped to deal with critical situations.  But neither the doctors nor the hospitals are responsible for this current situation. The reason for this is that doctors are afraid to treat critical patients, nursing homes don't want to create facilities for intensive care and no one wants to admit critical patients.  The reason is simple. In spite of the best efforts of doctors, nurses, nursing homes, hospitals, and medical colleges; a patient may die. After all, doctors are Doctors and not God. But, in an event of the death of a patient, no one will save the doctor. In the event of the death of a critical patient, nursing homes are vandalized. In the event of death of patients, angry relatives beat duty doctors black and blue as they did to Dr Amle in Parel, Mumbai and Dr Rohan of GMC, Dhule. In the event of the death of patients, even specialists like Dr Rohit Gupta of Allahabad are not spared. Incidents of assault on doctors are commonplace in West Bengal where the administration seems to have closed their eyes on assaults on doctors by their vote bank. We the brutality they did to a young doctor in DY Patil Hospital, Pune. On 10th June 2019,  a doctor fought for his life after brutal assault by a mob of 200 who were brought in 2 lorries on the death of a 90-year-old patient at NRS Medical College, Kolkata. This happened again at Hindurao Hospital. A doctor suffered laceration on the scalp when patient relatives assaulted doctors in the casualty after death of a CKD patient. In July 2019, a doctor was brutally assaulted after the death of elderly patient with myocardial infarction at LNJP (MAMC) hospital by a mob, New Delhi. And then again it happened in Mumbai. 15 Relatives assault 3 doctors at Nair Hospital, Mumbai after death of 50-year-old critically ill seropositive patient. On duty doctor of Pediatrics threatened, ambushed and beaten. All of this happened within the ward and doctor’s duty room by 25 terrorists-like patient relatives at a hospital in Odisha in 2019. A 52-year-old doctor brutally and mercilessly assaulted, almost lost vision. The patient was his neighbor whom he took to the hospital in his own car. When the patient became serious, this is what they did to him - abducted him, threatened his wife to hand over the checkbook, made him sign cheques worth 50 lakhs, beat him and threw him on the road. This happened in 2019 too. On 30 Aug 2019 in Assam - After a patient's death, locals got angry and brutally assaulted the doctor. The doctor died while being taken to the hospital. This happened at Teok Tea Estate in Jorhat, Assam. On 20th February 2020, a senior and humble doctor was assaulted by patient attendants at CMRI hospital (a corporate private hospital) in Kolkata. On 1st April 2020, a team of doctors which went to collect samples of Corona suspects was assaulted in Indore 60-year-old doctor assaulted brutally by a group of men in SDH Talcher, Odisha on 4th April 2020. This attack has happened amid the Coronavirus crisis. On 7th April 2020, a lady doctor in Surat was harassed, obstructed to enter her own house and assaulted by people of her apartment. On 15th April 2020, doctors and the medical team was assaulted and pelted with stones while going to collect samples from corona suspects. On 19th April 2020 (amid the Coronavirus crisis), assault crossed all limits when the dead body of a doctor was assaulted. A mob assaulted Dead Body of a doctor with stones. Corona Warrior neurosurgeon of Chennai who died fighting Corona for the public of this country did not deserve this assault on his dead body. On 1st May 2020, mob attacks doctors at Sagore Dutta Medical College Hospital after the death of a patient. Assaults on doctors continue despite the stringent Epidemic Diseases Act. On 9th May 2020, in Darbhanga Bihar, an on-duty doctor was dragged off his chair and beaten by a police personnel in broad daylight while the doctor was treating patients. Allegedly he had asked the policeman to wear a mask.  On 10th May 2020, Ear of a doctor on duty mercilessly bitten off by patient attendant when the doctor asked the attendant not to enter labour room and maintain social distancing at a Medical College in Behrampur, Odisha. On 16th May 2020, Dr Sudhakar was treated worse than an animal. He was publicly humiliated, thrashed half-naked on road, with hands tied at back by Andra Pradesh Police at Vizag. He was suspended earlier for raising voice against the shortage of PPEs for CovidWarriors.   On 30 July 2020, at Latur, Maharashtra, a doctor of a superspeciality hospital was repeatedly stabbed and attacked by the son of a COVID patient who passed away in the hospital. On 7th August, at SMIMS , Gangtok, duty doctor verbally assaulted and threatned by father of a patient 25 week FEMALE gestation born with birth weight of 710 gram born on 06/08/2020. The baby’s father refused any treatment for the baby. When doctor on duty was explaining, the patient’s father got aggressive and assaulted the doctor by aggression and multiple unspeakable abuses and threatened dire consequences. Such matters go unreported usually. On 7 Oct 2020, few hooligans abused , assaulted , threatened for life and outraged modesty of a female doctor on COVID duty at STNM hospital in Gangtok, Sikkim. Later the hooligans were arrested, the tendered unconditional public apology and the complaint by doctors was withdrawn. On 13 Dec 2020, patient relatives abused, manhandled and assaulted doctors at Sikkim Manipal Medical College, Gangtok. This is supposedly the most peaceful state of India.  The problem is not the absence of law, problem is non-implementation of the law. "No state is left where violence on doctors is not seen. " And now the people are getting bolder and targetting the family members of doctors too. Wife of a doctor was murdered in cold blood in Indore.  This fear has created terror in the minds of doctors. It is becoming impossible for doctors to work under so much fear. People who attack doctors should be called "Terrorist-like" because they are creating a terror in the minds of doctor against good work. They are disrupting peace and harmony of the nation. It is increasing the economic burden on the Indian society, thus threatening economic security of the nation. Stringent laws should be made to save the doctor from these unruly elements doing terrorist-like-activities and punishment must be given as that given to a terrorist. “Doctors can guarantee best treatment, but doctors cannot guarantee 100% results." To become a doctor is not easy. Doctor has to sacrifice his sleep – the time he/she spends caring for patients he barely knows; to sacrifice his/her youth – the time spend with books; sacrifice his family – the time spend away from home for education. But a doctor lives like an ordinary citizen.He does not demand subsidized groceries. He pays his electricity bills and phone bills. He buys all services at market rates.   There is only one thing that a doctor demands. And that is my humble request to Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi "SAVE THE DOCTOR… GIVE JUSTICE TO EVERY DOCTOR WHO HAS BEEN ASSAULTED.... AND THE DOCTOR WILL SAVE MANY MORE LIVES FOR THIS NATION"  Yours truly Dr. Sumit Periwal
