2-day free urology camp at IMS-BHU from today
During the camp, patients will receive free consultations from some of the country's leading urologists, along with diagnostic investigations and surgical interventions, including both minor and major procedures as deemed necessary.
These services will be provided entirely free of cost. According to a BHU spokesperson, a team of more than 15 to 20 urologists and healthcare professionals from across India volunteered to participate in this noble cause.
Among the distinguished participants are Prof TP Rajeev from Guwahati, who currently serves as the president of the Urological Society of India and Dr SP Yadav from Gurugram, an executive council member of the society.
In addition to clinical care, the camp will also focus on public health education. Interactive awareness sessions will be conducted to inform participants about various urological conditions, including kidney stones, prostate enlargement, urinary tract infections, urinary incontinence, and cancers of the urinary and genital systems. These sessions aim to empower individuals with knowledge about prevention, early detection, and the importance of lifestyle modifications in managing their health.

‘Supermom' gifts 42ltrs breast milk, saves 30 babies
1 2 Lucknow: In India as well in UP, where one in three mothers do not breastfeed their babies exclusively for six months, Varanasi's Sunita Devi has emerged as a shining example of the true generosity of a mother. Sunita, a resident of Subhadra village, who delivered twin boys on May 31 but lost one to medical complications, has not only fed her own baby but has also come forward to help others in need. In the past two months, Sunita has donated over 42 litres of excess breast milk to save at least 30 fragile babies in thoughts on breastfeeding and breast milk donation are also inspiring. "Motherhood is a blessing, and feeding one's baby is the first duty of a mother. And if nature has blessed someone with excess, donating it to some other baby in need is an act of humanity," Sunita told TOI. Recalling her elders' teachings, she said, "Mother's milk is believed to be an elixir against diseases; discarding it or wasting it is no less than a crime." Sunita is staying in the Comprehensive Lactation Management Centre (CLMC) in the department of paediatrics at Sir Sunder Lal Hospital, Institute of Medical Science-Banaras Hindu University (IMS-BHU) to help her baby recover from preterm delivery complications and expresses her milk at least eight times a day. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Stylish New Mobility Scooters Available for Seniors (Prices May Surprise You) Mobility Scooter | Search Ads Search Now Undo "This is no small thing. Myths, misconceptions, and even cultural practices tend to prevent women from feeding their own babies. Numbers from the National Family Health Survey-5 (NFHS-5) show that at least 35% of mothers do not feed their babies exclusively for six months. In this scenario, Sunita is not just a super mom; she is also a fairy godmother to many babies," said Dr Anu Sharma, a faculty member in paediatrics department and in-charge of NICU. "CLMC plays a vital role in promoting, supporting, and sustaining breastfeeding. It provides expert lactation management, addresses breastfeeding challenges, and helps save lives of vulnerable newborns through the provision of screened donor human milk," she said. Experts pointed out that breastfeeding was the cornerstone of optimal newborn care, particularly for preterm and low birthweight (LBW) infants. "In cases of preterm delivery, and at times due to various reasons, mothers do not have enough milk for their babies. It is here that donors like Sunita become a saviour," said Prof Ashok Kumar, former head of paediatrics, IMS-BHU. Dr Vaishnavi Pandey, project manager at community empowerment lab which is supporting IMS-BHU in strengthening CLMC, said that Sunita's generosity was even more praiseworthy as she donated milk despite her personal loss. "She was pregnant with two boys; one of them died a week after birth due to premature delivery complications. Salute to her selflessness," she said. General manager, child health, National Health Mission UP, Dr Milind Wardhan, said, "State govt organises activities to dispel myths around breastfeeding each year in the first week of Aug. Families should create a conducive environment for new mothers so that they can feed their babies without any inhibition."

One in five Indians to be senior citizens by 2050, NHRC urges culturally rooted policies
New Delhi, Aug 2 (UNI) India is projected to have nearly 35 crore elderly citizens by 2050, with one in every five individuals belonging to the senior age group, posing a significant challenge for policymakers across the country, experts said today here at an event. They emphasised the imperative to develop family and community-based care models that draw strength from India's traditional family values while incorporating global best practices. Viewing ageing as a national asset, NHRC Secretary General, Bharat Lal calls for adapting Scandinavian and Japanese models into India's policy frameworks entwined with its cultural context. In his inaugural address on 'Ageing in India: Emerging realities, evolving responses', NHRC Chairperson, Justice V. Ramasubramanian said India has a rich cultural tradition advocating care and reverence for the elderly as a fundamental societal value. In this context, he also drew references from the Sangam literature and the Yajur Veda. He called for the integration of these ancient values and principles into modern policy frameworks to ensure the dignity, protection and well-being of senior citizens, in alignment with the NHRC's mandate to uphold human rights. In his special address, Dr. Vinod K. Paul, Member (Health, Nutrition and Education), NITI Aayog, emphasised the importance of healthcare and social security frameworks for the ageing population. He said that empowering families to take care of their elderly should remain the foundation of India's approach. On the occasion, a report 'Ageing in India: Challenges and Opportunities' was also released highlighting inclusive and community-led healthcare for elderly people in the country. UNI AJ GNK
