Privatisation of public healthcare in Andhra Pradesh denounced
VIJAYAWADA: Under the leadership of Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu, the coalition government's proposed health sector reforms in Andhra Pradesh are facing sharp criticism from public health activists, who warn they will make healthcare unaffordable for the poor. Concerns centre on the reported plan to hand over 10 under-construction medical colleges to private entities and to establish super-specialty hospitals in every MLA constituency under the Public-Private Partnership (PPP) model. Activists point out that in other states, PPP-run facilities have led to soaring medical costs, restricting access for disadvantaged patients. GOs 107 and 108 sparked outrage by enabling costly self-finance seats in medical colleges, prompting Praja Arogya Vedika's (PAV) statewide drive with seminars, and drives across districts. Speaking to TNIE, PAV State President MV Ramanaiah said, 'As part of the campaign, a National Health Seminar titled 'Privatisation of the Healthcare Sector—Impacts and Solutions' will be held on August 24 at MB Vignana Kendram Auditorium, Vijayawada.'

Services of Dr. B.C. Roy recalled at Doctors' Day celebrations
The speakers at the National Doctors' Day celebrations recalled the contribution of the late Dr BC Roy to the medical profession, his exemplary services to the poor both as a doctor and later as Chief Minister of West Bengal, at a programme organised by Praja Arogya Vedika (PAV) at the Alluri Vignana Kendram here on Tuesday. Doctors' Day is being observed on July 1 in recognition of the services of Dr. Roy, who was born on July 1, 1882, and had passed away on July 1, 1962. He was given the Bharat Ratna in 1950. Popular doctors Dr. S. Prakasa Rao, a former HOD of ENT Department, KGH, and Dr. K. Subba Rao, a former HOD of Gynaecology, KGH, were felicitated on the occasion. Earlier, Dr. Y. Narasinga Rao, who inaugurated the programme, alleged that the State government was shirking its responsibility with its decision to run 10 medical colleges under the PPP mode. The plan was to allocate seats after collecting lakhs of rupees from students in the name of capitation fee, he alleged. PAV State general secretary T. Kameswara Rao demanded implementation of Health Security Act for the six crore people of the State, and to make health a fundamental right. He also sought an end to the plan to privatise medical colleges in the name of 'PPP'. AP Medical and Sales Representatives Union State secretary K.V.P. Chandra Mouli, Visakhapatnam district vice president M.V.R.S. Srikanth also spoke.

Health body flags COVID risk at TDP Mahanadu meet, slams govt. for ‘double standards'
Praja Arogya Vedika (PAV) has raised concerns over the three-day TDP Mahanadu event, set to begin in Kadapa on May 27, citing the renewed threat of a COVID-19 resurgence and rising cases across the country. In a letter to Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu on Monday, PAV president M.V. Ramanaiah and general secretary T. Kameswara Rao highlighted recent data showing 1,009 new cases reported nationwide in the past 24 hours. Kerala accounted for 430 cases, followed by Maharashtra (209), Delhi (104) and Gujarat (83). They also pointed to a global spike in infections, which has prompted the World Health Organization to issue fresh warnings. Referring to the COVID-19 guidelines issued by the State government recently, the PAV leaders said the advisory has clearly asked the public not to organise mass gatherings. It also advised senior citizens and pregnant women to remain indoors and others to ensure strict adherence to COVID-appropriate behaviour like ensuring adequate social distancing, wearing masks and frequent washing of hands. Ironically, the State government, which issued guidelines to the public, is organising the Mahanadu on a grand scale in Kadapa, they said, adding that arrangements were being made to mobilise five lakh people for the event. They noted that there was no clarity on how the organisers would follow COVID-appropriate behaviour at the gathering. The organisers seem to be ignorant of the danger to the people of the State due the mass gathering, which can aid the spread of the disease, the leaders said. The PAV leaders pointed out that the government should also realise what message it would be sending to the general public by organising such mass gathering, ignoring the renewed threat of the pandemic. They demanded that the Mahanadu organisers should strictly adhere to the COVID-19 advisory issued by the government. The number of participants should be restricted, overcrowding at one place should be prevented, compulsory wearing of masks should be insisted on all participants and regular sanitisation should be ensured at the venue, they added.
