Alappuzha MCH to launch Palliative Care Clinic with Living Will Information Desk
In a bid to empower people to choose their end-of-life medical preferences, a Living Will Information Desk will soon become functional at the Government Medical College Hospital (MCH), Alappuzha. The Living Will Information Desk, a first-of-its-kind initiative in the district, will function under the Comprehensive Palliative Care Clinic being set up at the MCH under the Department of Anaesthesiology. According to MCH authorities, the clinic is expected to begin functioning by the end of July. A living will is a document in which a person records their medical treatment preferences in advance, for situations where they may be unable to make decisions themselves - such as during terminal illness or critical conditions. It outlines the individual's choices regarding end-of-life care. Through this, one can pre-decide whether or not to undergo life-sustaining treatments like ventilation or dialysis, and also express wishes related to organ donation and funeral arrangements. Anyone above 18 years of age Anyone above 18 years of age can sign a living will. After consultation with family members, the signed document is attested by a gazetted officer and kept under the custody of the local self-government institution, as per procedure. Forms and guidelines for filling out a living will are available at the desk, which will function from Monday to Friday. Besides, outpatient services for patients in need of palliative care will be available at the Comprehensive Palliative Care Clinic every Saturday from 9.30 a.m. onwards. 'A ward with 10 beds has been set up. Doctors from other departments will offer their services. Apart from Living Will Information Desk, a pharmacy and a store are part of the clinic,' said an official. Officials said that as part of the palliative care initiatives at the MCH, students are actively involved in activities under the banner Karunya. 'Every year, a paraplegia meet is held, bringing together individuals with lower-body paralysis, and medical camps are organised. These efforts aim to provide both physical and emotional support to bedridden patients. Palliative care has also been included in the curriculum for house surgeons. As part of this, doctors visit and examine bedridden patients in Alappuzha and nearby areas at their homes,' the official added.

Woman delivers baby in e-rickshaw
Ludhiana: A pregnant woman on the way to the civil hospital with her husband in an e-rickshaw, delivered a baby in the vehicle. They were near Fountain Chowk when the delivery took place. Health officials said that both mother and child, a girl, are doing fine. The woman's husband, Ratnesh Kumar, a resident of Chand Colony in Haibowal, said that when he came home from work, his wife, Manju Devi, told him that she was having labour pain. He said that they immediately left for the civil hospital in an e-rickshaw but his wife delivered the baby on the way. Hospital authorities later admitted the mother and child in the maternity ward. Ratnesh said that this was their fifth child. The mother and child were discharged on Monday afternoon. Dr Neha Goyal, a gynaecologist at MCH, said that the woman was brought to the hospital at 10pm after delivery. The mother and baby were given antibiotics before being discharged from the hospital at around 1pm on Monday. Dr Goyal added that it was normal for the woman to deliver the baby in the e-rickshaw as she had had four deliveries earlier. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like If you have a mouse, play this game for 1 minute Navy Quest Undo On October 9 last year, a woman delivered a baby girl while on her way to the civil hospital in an e-rickshaw.

Kottayam MCH collapse: Bindu's daughter in recovery, cabinet recommends job for son
Kottayam: Navami, the daughter of Kottayam MCH building collapse victim D Bindu, is recovering after surgery at the govt medical college hospital. According to her father Visruthan, doctors informed that there was nothing to worry about his daughter's health. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now The 21-year-old was admitted to the MCH for treatment for pain in her backbone. The 11-hour surgery was completed on Wednesday evening, and she was admitted to the intensive care unit. She will be shifted to a special ward after being put under observation for two days. Meanwhile, the state cabinet on Thursday sanctioned Rs 10 lakh as financial assistance from the chief minister's distress relief fund (CMDRF) to Bindu's family. The cabinet also recommended Travancore Devaswom Board offer her son Navaneeth a suitable job. When told about the govt's decision to provide the compensation and a job to Navaneeth, Visruthan said that his focus at the moment is his daughter's treatment. He also expressed optimism in the promises made by the govt. "I'm getting everything from the govt side. Whatever they promised to give the family will be given," said Visruthan, who expressed confidence in the govt. Meanwhile, Congress leader Chandy Oommen told reporters that the compensation of Rs 10 lakh was insufficient. He said that Rs 25 lakh was sought as compensation as the death was due to a lapse on the part of the govt. The MLA had earlier handed over Rs 5 lakh to the family. Bindu's employer too extended a cheque of Rs 1 lakh to the family and promised to give an amount of Rs 5,000 every month. Bindu was killed after a building at the Kottayam MCH collapsed last Thursday. She was accompanying her daughter who was admitted to the MCH.
