From The Hindu, June 10, 1975: Govt. considering action on U.K. restrictions on Indian doctors
New Delhi, June 9: The Health Ministry is expected to come out soon with the steps proposed to be taken in the wake of the decision of the General Medical Council of Britain to place curbs on registration of Indian doctors.
The Director-General of Health Services, Dr. J.P. Shrivatsava, to-day had a meeting with the Secretary of the Medical Council of India, Dr. Krishnan, and representatives of the Indian Medical Association and discussed the various issues arising from the British decision.
Dr. Shrivatsava, who had met the Indian High Commissioner and Indian doctors in London on his way back home from Geneva after attending the WHO session last week, is reported to have apprised the meeting to-day of his talks in London.
Although the British Medical Council has attributed its decision to its inability to monitor the standard of medical education in India, the feeling in official circles here is that the decision is motivated by a desire to reduce the number of overseas doctors, particularly from non-European countries.

Doctors & patients
Medics can't be bullied by ministers. But how medics deal with patients is also a vital part of healthcare It started with a refusal – correct decision, by the books – by Goa Medical College's emergency department to administer a routine B12 injection to a 77-year-old. She got the jab in the orthopaedic ward. It ended with an apology to GMC casualty's chief from Goa's health minister, who had suspended the doctor in a brazen public show of arrogance on camera. The video of the public humiliation correctly triggered outrage. The minister was not just badly behaved, he displayed an attribute shared by many politicians: pulling rank at the drop of a hat. In April, a UP minister on-camera wanted a Sonbhadra hospital's CMO 'sent to the jungle' because he was not available to 'welcome' the minister on arrival. He too, like his Goa counterpart, believed their high-handedness was 'speaking up for patients'. But they spoke from a point of privilege and ego alone. However, this thread – that patients need 'support' when facing doctors – brings us to another reality of Indian hospitals. One that's barely discussed. Some doctors are often less than civil with patients in public hospitals. Dismissive behaviour with patients and nurses is not infrequent, but barely recorded in any survey. Neither is its impact on care outcomes studied – starting with patients not daring to clear doubts for fear of a dressing-down. As noted by some TOI columnists, there are various surveys of abuse of doctors but none on doctors' un-bedside manners. The social status of doctors is such that some of them routinely get away with markedly impolite behaviour especially with poor patients. Doctors in govt hospitals are rarely caught on camera – patients have far bigger problems and challenges than to call out 'doctor saab'. This invisibilisation contrasts with the outrage that follows when a doctor is slighted. Medical fraternity speaks as one. That's a good thing. But dare a patient speak out against a doctor's behaviour? True, the doctor-patient ratio in public hospitals shows how burdened doctors are. But it's good to ask whether that's the complete explanation. Dismissive behaviour by some doctors perhaps comes, in part, from a sense of privilege. That many in govt hospitals are overworked doesn't help. The Goa case isn't one of a kind. Similar miscommunication – where to go for what kind of medical care – plays out daily pan-India. Countries like Australia and UK study doctors' behaviour towards patients in public health systems. Perhaps, that's something India should consider.

Overnight lenses that reshape cornea could slow down myopia progression
Chennai: A new type of contact lens that can be worn overnight to help reshape the cornea and slow the eye's elongation, allowing people with myopia, or near-sightedness, to see without glasses or lenses during the day, will be tested in 200 children at city-based Dr Agarwals Eye Hospital for at least one and a half years, along with scientists from Japan. Myopia is a growing epidemic, afflicting the eyes of children, said the hospital's Chief Clinical Officer, Dr Ashvin Agarwal. People with myopia can see close-up objects clearly, but to read blackboards, engage in cycling, driving, or recognising the faces of people down the road, they may need glasses. "From a prevalence of 4% in 1999 to 21% in 2019, myopia is expected to affect 40% of India's population by 2040 and touch close to 50% by 2050. We are trying to slow down the progression," he said. Similarly, digital eye strain now affects 50%-60% of children in India, driven by increased screen time. Orthokeratology lenses are gas-permeable, rigid contact lenses that temporarily reshape the cornea of your eye. "People wear these lenses while they are sleeping. When they wake up and remove these lenses, their cornea holds its new shape, allowing them to see clearly without the need for glasses or daytime contact lenses," he said. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Pinga-Pinga e HBP?

These lenses exert gentle hydraulic pressure on the tear film beneath the lens, which in turn reshapes the corneal cells, say experts. This temporary change in corneal curvature allows light to focus properly on the retina. Experts say they work like dental retainers that maintain the shape of teeth. "It must be worn every night. Our test will show who is benefiting from these glasses," he said. For the study, launched in Feb, Dr Agarwals Eye Hospital has collaborated with Japan's Menicon Co Ltd for joint research on these lenses. This study will check the efficacy and safety of the orthokeratology lens for Indian children. "We aim to develop solutions and raise awareness about the treatment," said Menicon Co Ltd regional director (China and Asia-Oceania) Shunsuke Yamagishi. These lenses won't be available for sale until doctors evaluate the benefits and side effects. "If this is successful, it will offer freedom from glasses and eventually show us the path towards a cure for myopia," Dr Agarwal said.
