DMHO inspects Sriram Nagar Urban Health Centre
During her visit, Dr Shanthi Kala also reviewed the implementation of the Friday–Dry Day program under the jurisdiction of the 58th Secretariat. She stressed that as part of this weekly initiative, health staff should visit their assigned wards every Friday to create awareness among the public about completely removing water stagnation at least once a week to curb mosquito breeding.
She instructed that all details of these activities be promptly uploaded to the Friday–Dry Day app. Furthermore, if any areas with stagnant water are identified, the particulars should be uploaded to the Vector Control Hygiene app, and follow-up action should be taken through the respective Secretariat Secretary to resolve the issues effectively.
Later, Dr Shanthi Kala inspected the ongoing NCD 3.0 Survey at the centre. She directed the team comprising staff nurses, ANMs, and ASHA workers to conduct house-to-house surveys and complete them expeditiously. The collected data should be uploaded to the NCD 3.0 mobile app, she added. The screening under this program covers oral, breast, and cervical cancers, along with tests for hypertension (BP), diabetes (sugar), and haemoglobin levels. Suspected cases will be referred to the Medical Officer at the Primary or Urban Health Centre for further evaluation and treatment. If necessary, cases requiring specialized care will be referred to the State Cancer Hospital in Kurnool twice a week (Tuesdays and Thursdays) for diagnostic confirmation. Treatment will be provided to confirmed cases at the designated facilities.
DMO Nukaraju, Deputy DMO Chandrasekhar Reddy, ANM P Padmavathi, and ASHA worker M Padmavathi also participated in the program.

Hospitals to face action over billing irregularities
District Medical and Health Officer (DMHO) S. Jeevan Rani has issued a stern warning to hospitals, nursing homes, diagnostic centres, and laboratories across Vizianagaram district for failing to prominently display tariff charts, as mandated under the Clinical Establishments (Registration and Regulation) Act, 2010. It has come to light that despite repeated warnings and reminders, many healthcare facilities in the district fail to display tariff details. Speaking to The Hindu on Monday, Dr Rani announced: 'Special inspection teams will be formed to conduct checks at every healthcare facility in the district. Hospitals must display the fee structure boards at the entrance and patient waiting areas. Hidden charges and lack of transparency in billing will not be tolerated.' She further added that many hospitals in Vizianagaram were hiding the fee structure and collecting excess fees without informing the patients. Additionally, patients were being forced to make payments at the cash counters where staff fail to provide proper answers. Another serious concern that Dr Rani highlighted was that many hospitals are not issuing hard copies of prescriptions and test reports to patients. Instead, doctors are sending the prescriptions directly to the in-house pharmacies, leaving patients unable to purchase medicines from elsewhere. 'Outstation patients have complained that they cannot buy medicines in their hometowns due to the absence of physical prescriptions,' Dr Rani added. However, hospital authorities claim that reports and prescriptions are being sent to the WhatsApp numbers of patients. Interestingly, when The Hindu tried to find out how poor patients who do not use smartphones can access their reports and prescriptions, none of the hospitals responded. B. Ramachandra Reddy, an attendant of a patient said: 'Sometimes, WhatsApp messages may be deleted. How can patients retrieve deleted data? Additionally, in case of an emergency when patients are referred to hospitals in Visakhapatnam and other places, it is not easy to take printouts. Hard copies are essential for maintaining lifelong medical records. ' Dr. Rani reiterated that hospitals must adopt transparent procedures in billing and treatment. It is mandatory. 'Patients with grievances can contact us and we will take action on errant hospital authorities,' she added.

Watching over womb: Haryana reverse tracks to save its unborn daughters
Every year, more than five lakh births are registered in Haryana and Sahelis are playing a significant role in spearheading the Haryana health department's reverse tracking initiative to check the slide in sex ratio at birth. Sahelis are anganwadi workers and ASHA (accredited social health activists) tasked with 'watching over the womb' to trace abortions being performed by mothers with one or more daughters. Every year, more than five lakh births are registered in Haryana and Sahelis are playing a significant role in spearheading the Haryana health department's reverse tracking initiative to check the slide in sex ratio at birth. Sahelis are anganwadi workers and ASHA (accredited social health activists) tasked with 'watching over the womb' to trace abortions being performed by mothers with one or more daughters. (Getty Images/iStockphoto/ Representational image) Despite a measly monthly stipend of ₹6,100, Sahelis are successfully powering Haryana's drive to save its unborn daughters, particularly in the hinterland. Haryana has 20,653 ASHA, and 2,500 anganwadi workers for nearly 7,000 villages, colonies and urban areas. 'Pregnant women, who already have one or more daughters, have been assigned a Saheli whose primary task is to counsel and keep a watch over the expectant mother,' says director, health services, Dr Virender Yadav. The initiative comes after Haryana, the pioneering state of the Beti Bachao Beti Padhao campaign that became the flagship programme to save the girl child when Prime Minister Narendra Modi launched it as a nationwide movement from Panipat on January 22, 2015, suffered a setback in 2024 as the state's sex ratio at birth (SRB) slipped to 910 females births per 1,000 males. This was a dip of six points from 2023's 916. Prodded by the Centre, Haryana went for reverse tracking to arrest the slide. Through reverse tracking, the state health authorities are tracing abortions after 12 weeks of pregnancy by when the gender of the foetus can be determined. Veena, a Saheli in Naraingarh town of Ambala district, says: 'It's our duty to prevent an illegal abortion. We stay in touch with the assigned pregnant woman regularly and track her movement through local sources.' Another Jind-based Saheli, Rajbala, says women who already have a girl child don't disclose their pregnancy easily. 'We work hard to win their confidence. I have reported six abortions in recent months. In each case, lack of heart beat was said to be the trigger.' 'In view of these painstaking efforts at the grassroots, I'm optimistic about Haryana bouncing back and registering an encouraging improvement in its annual sex ratio at birth by December,' says Dr GL Singal, an expert associated with the Beti Bachao Beti Padhao programme since its inception. Tracking abortions after 12 weeks According to medical experts, abortions after 12 weeks are medically uncommon unless there is a serious risk. Hence, they are red flags for possible sex-selective abortions. A July 21 letter addressed to district civil surgeon by the Kurukshetra deputy commissioner (DC) Neha Singh shed light on how women with two or more girl children are undergoing abortions repeatedly. The communication says that between January 1 and June 30, as many as 131 women with over 12 weeks pregnancy underwent abortions. Forty-eight of the 131 women already have a girl child and they underwent abortions at unregistered MTP centres. 'In a majority of cases, the reason for abortion was given as foot slipped, bleeding at home, and after that D and C (dilation and curettage). This is a very serious matter,' the DC's letter read. During the district task force meeting on July 16, it emerged that women with two or more girls are undergoing abortions repeatedly. 'This is a horrific trend. Killing a girl child in the womb is one of the worst crimes. It's worse than the rarest of the rare crimes that warrant capital punishment. Let a daughter in reality carries forward the legacy of the clan,' says Dr Manju Gupta, a registered private practitioner based in Gharaunda. According to Manmohan Taneja, who superannuated as state drug controller on July 31, more than 9,000 MTP kits were seized and 50 FIRs were registered, including 18 against online sellers of the MTP kits, between February and June. 'I hope the crackdown on the kits will now yield the desired results,' he said. Reverse tracking, the new weapon The reverse tracking of abortion cases is a first of its kind drive Haryana has launched to generate evidence and expose illegal terminations masked behind medical pretexts. Officials say when Haryana launched the 'watching the womb' drive in February, more than 88,000 pregnant women were registered between January and April on the reproductive child health (RCH) portal. 'The RCH is a unique identity and mandatory for antenatal care (ANC) during pregnancy. Due to the extraordinary situation, we decided to use RCH data to monitor vulnerable pregnant women,' an official said. At one point, there were 33,229 pregnant women with one or more girl children, while by July-end the number of such women shrank to 20,723. At present, 20,721 Sahelis are attached with these women. Dr Yadav says it was after the Sahelis were assigned that the reverse tracking of abortions was implemented. According to the data, 1,249 abortions were performed when pregnancy was below 12 weeks and 1,153 abortions were done after 12 weeks of pregnancy in the past few months. A majority of the women cited bleeding, slipping, falling down stairs, or spontaneous bleeding as reasons for abortions. 'We are investing our resources on women in 10 to 20 weeks of pregnancy, who already have a daughter, as they are vulnerable to family pressures,' he says. In July, reverse tracking in 786 out of identified 824 cases of abortion above 12 weeks was completed with Faridabad reporting the highest number of 96 abortions followed by Ambala with 77, Karnal with 69, Sonepat with 65, and Rohtak with 49 cases. While 23 FIRs for illegal abortions have been registered, more are in the pipeline. Show-cause notices have also gone out to 38 private clinics and hospitals suspected of flouting abortion laws and a police probe is underway in 41 cases. Notices have been issued to nearly 200 frontline health workers, including seven medical officers, five senior medical officers, over 100 Sahelis, and 34 ASHA workers for dereliction of duty. Notices are being issued for failing to ensure antenatal care (ANC) registration within the mandatory 10 weeks of pregnancy. In Karnal, more than 200 such notices have been issued.

100 new PHCs to be built with `194 cr: Satya Kumar
Tirupati: Health minister Y Satya Kumar Yadav said the state government sanctioned Rs 194 crore for the construction of 100 new primary health centres (PHCs), to be taken up under the supervision of the roads and buildings (R&B) department. Along with government whip and GD Nellore MLA V M Thomas, the minister inaugurated a new village health clinic (VHC) building at Edigapalli, built at a cost of Rs 20.80 lakh under Alathur gram panchayat. Speaking on the occasion, the minister highlighted that the concept of village health clinics (VHCs) was launched in 2017 by Prime Minister Narendra Modi to deliver doorstep healthcare services. With support from the central government, Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu and Deputy CM Pawan Kalyan are currently implementing the programme successfully across the state. Each VHC is staffed with Community Health Officers (CHOs), ANMs, and ASHA workers, who conduct door-to-door health checks, referring patients to higher centres when needed. These clinics offer 14 types of diagnostic tests and provide 105 varieties of essential medicines. The minister also highlighted the NCD 3.0 survey aimed at early detection of hypertension, diabetes, cardiac issues, and cancer in people above 18 years. Under the STEMI initiative, emergency cardiac patients receive a life-saving injection worth Rs 45,000 free of cost. So far, over 3,918 lives have been saved from among 3,200 emergency heart cases. He criticised the previous government for misallocating funds meant for 10,032 approved VHCs and establishing only 3,000 clinics. Officials including DM&HO Dr D T Sudha Rani and CHOs Reshmi, Rajeswari, and Gouri were present.
