Gurgaon doctor to offer free cancer treatment, INDIA

GURGAON: Moved by the rising cases of cancer among the poor, who are hampered by both lack of awareness and funds, a doctor in this industrial town, a suburb of Delhi, Saturday set up a non-governmental organisation (NGO) to offer free diagnosis and treatment.
Named New India Cancer Charity Initiative (NICCI), the NGO is the brainchild of Bhawna Sirohi, head oncologist at the Artemis Health Institute.
"There is such a big lacuna when it comes to awareness about cancer...and it's not just among the illiterate people but also among the educated class," she said.
Sirohi said cancer awareness would be one of the key aims of her NGO to make early diognosis of the disease possible.
"So many times, women come to me in advanced stages of breast cancer simply because they didn't think that a lump on their breast was a reason enough to see the doctor. Unless there is a pain or bleeding, they will keep putting it off," she said.
According to Sirohi, India has 80,000-100,000 new cases of breast cancer every year. Globally, a woman is diagnosed with breast cancer every three minutes.
"I have been giving lectures to spread awareness on cancer to local resident welfare associations, but in order to do more, I decided to start this NGO. At the start, we will go to Meerut for awareness campaigns," Sirohi told IANS.
"We have tied up with the local medical college there and will start a free screening, diagnosis and treatment centre. My focus will be on head, neck, breast and cervical cancer," she added.
Cancer treatment is an expensive affair, with diagnosis and treatment costing upwards of Rs.5 lakh. Chemotherapy alone costs upwards of Rs.1 lakh.
Talking about funding, Sirohi said her friends and family will be the initial donors, and that she expects corporates to pitch in as well.
"I am also inaugurating a painting exhibition today, and its proceeds will go to the NGO," she said.

Hospital bills: how to reduce those bills

Hospital stays can be extremely expensive. It would seem that all the consumer could do would be to just endure the cost. There are, however, some strategies to make the cost of a hospital stay as expensive as possible.

(1) Consult the physician about the necessity for having the procedure done in a hospital. Also, could it be done in his office or on an outpatient basis? How long will the hospital stay be? Can it be shortened?

(2) If the care needed is the non-emergency type, compare prices at various hospitals. Hospital room rates can vary significantly. Also inquire about the availability of a non-private room, which would cost considerably less daily.
(3) Find out what fees the doctor will be charging in addition to those for the medical procedure. Some physicians routinely add charges for admission and release.

(4) Never check into a hospital on a weekend or a holiday. Major medical procedures will probably not be performed until the next business day but you will still be charged for a room for the days that could have been spent at home.

(5) If there are no diet restrictions, consider bringing food from home and bypass the charge for hospital meals.
(6) When entering a hospital for childbirth, find out how soon you may be released. Some hospitals release mothers after as little as 24 hours. Also, find out if hospital policy allows the baby to "room in" (stay in the same room) with the mother, cutting hospital nursery fees. Avoid Caesarian-Sections, if possible. They are risky, expensive and not always necessary. Consult your physician about this. If no complications are foreseen, consider using a nurse-practitioner or midwife for birthing at home or at a birthing facility.

(7) If terminally ill, make sure that a living will has been filed with hospital personnel so that they will know the limits you wish them to use in your treatment.

(8) Ask your physician if it is possible to furnish your own medication, whether it be a prescription or just aspirin. You may be able to get in-hospital medication free or at a reduced cost through your insurance. At any rate, the cost will be cheaper than if purchased through the hospital. Hospital costs for medications are notoriously high.

(9) Know all doctors who will be treating you and refuse treatment if a doctor enters your room that you are not familiar with until you are sure that he should be treating you.

(10) Refuse routine tests that the hospital might require before admission if they do not relate to your condition or surgery. Hospitals routinely perform a series of routine tests which may considerably raise the bill but are not necessary for diagnosis or treatment.

(11) Ask the hospital for a daily breakdown of charges. They may be reluctant but are perfectly capable of doing so.

(12) After receiving the bill, make sure that there are clear amounts and details showing:

---kind of room charges (private, semi-private?)

---number of days charged (if leaving before checkout time is an extra day billed?)

---all tests and procedures received

---medical equipment used (charges for equipment that was not taken home?)

---charges for blood (any blood donations made to offset cost?)

---doctors visits (number of visits daily for each doctor)

---for mothers, any bills for extra nursery care if child not kept in room

---extra treatment by any specialized personnel-therapists, etc.

Getting free medical treatment in Spain

If you are a UK or EU resident then a European Health Insurance Card (EHIC) will entitle visitors and tourists of European Economic Area (EEA) member countries (and Switzerland) to free or reduced-cost medical care that becomes necessary while in Spain due to illness or accident.  The EHIC gives the business traveller or tourist access to state-provided medical treatment on the same basis as an 'insured' person living in Spain.

However, the EHIC won't cover you for most types of non-urgent treatment for ongoing conditions, maternity care or vaccinations so you should still take out some private medical and travel insurance because medical repatriation, on-going medical treatment and treatment of a non-urgent nature will not be covered.  If you still have your old form (E111) you need to upgrade to the EHIC - make sure you do this several weeks before your trip. 

The quickest way is to apply online for the EHIC  or pick up an application pack from the Post Office or telephone 0845 606 2030.  The EHIC is normally valid for three to five years and each member of the family needs their own card.

It is vital that you take out travel insurance when taking any trip abroad in addition to having an EHIC, regardless of your trip's duration, and not least if you are planning on taking part in some high risk activities like skiing.

Hrudaya to do free heart surgeries for CHD affected poor children, INDIA

India Adds 2,00,000 Congenital Heart Disease Cases Each Year: Dr. Gopichand.

BY A CORRESPONDENT

5 August, 2005: Every year nearly 2 lakh children are born in India with congenital heart disease (CHD) adding to the existing millions suffering from the disease. Of these only 6 to 8 percent of them receive medical treatment. The rest either don’t get timely treatment or their parents simply cannot afford the cost of surgery and treatment, which is true in a majority of cases. Shockingly, in India each year about 121,000 cases of adult CHD cases reach the age of 15 years due to lack of health awareness, poverty and inadequate healthcare facilities. This startling revelation was given by Dr. Gopichand Mannam, the Managing Trustee of Hrudaya Foundation, a charitable trust that does free treatment for underprivileged children afflicted by congenital heart disease.

Dr. Gopichand reiterated the need for greater focus on this ever increasing and enormous disease burden and said, “Congenital heart disease is a growing and a neglected problem in India. Due to lack of facilities, money or awareness, CHD patients in India often live and die untreated. This is extremely ironical considering that all forms of CHD are completely treatable by surgery and medication, after which a child can look forward to a normal life. We need the community action to rid our country of the curse of Congenital Heart Disease.”

Dr. Nagarjuna Ponugoti, Managing Trustee of the US based ‘Cure A Little Heart Foundation’, the organization which helped Hrudaya’s fund mobilization in the United States, added, “Children are the future, and we don’t see what we do as charity. It is a necessity. If we don’t protect the children today, mankind will suffer tomorrow. The important thing is to act - and act now!”

Recently, Dr. Gopichand mobilized US $ 2,00,000, with promise for another $100,000 by the end of this year, from NRIs across the world to aid his treatment of CHD. Elaborating on the initiative he said, “Hrudaya Foundation, in collaboration with the US based Cure a Little Heart Foundation organized a charity dinner to fund free heart surgeries in India. To our delight, we mobilized the expected amount, which will go towards saving the lives of 200 to 250 children suffering from Congenital Heart Disease. This is real community participation and we can get rid of the disease only if socially conscious individuals and communities come together in this endeavour.” Support to the cause can come in various ways, and a case to point is the contribution of Pragati Printers, the leading printing house in the country, which designed & printed of the brochures for the Hrudaya’s recent fund mobilization drive.

Hrudaya regularly conducts free CHD screening camps and plans to take the screening camps to every part of India. Further, the charitable trust sponsors free surgeries for underprivileged children afflicted with the disease and bears all costs of surgery. In the last one year Dr. Gopichand has successfully conducted more than 400 free operations on poor children afflicted with CHD.

Hrudaya Foundation, a non-profit organization, has been established primarily to raise funds that will be used to provide treatment to poor children affected with congenital heart diseases. Hrudaya also strives to create awareness about congenital and acquired heart diseases among general masses and doctors. Leading industrialists, corporate heads, and doctors are its patrons.

They deplored the lethargic attitude of the authorities towards the health sector and demanded that the government give it priority in the budget allocation.

Renowned cancer specialists shed light on causes and prevention of breast cancer. At least 200 cases were discussed, which were operated upon at the Capital Hospital. The cancer specialists exchanged views on effective measures to prevent cancer.

Eminent Oncologist Dr Naeem Taj, Dr Tauqeer Ahmed and Dr Israr discussed different aspects of breast cancer. The Capital Hospital has established Breast Clinic, which is functioning in Department of General Surgery.

They said patients of breast cancer and other related diseases will be detected early and level of awareness about the disease could be improved through precautionary measures.

The CDA chairman has directed Capital Hospital’s Executive Director (ED) Hamid Zeb Khan to take measures for provision of free treatment to the patients of breast cancer at the clinic. The ED said he had assigned the task of cancer treatment to Dr Touqeer Ahmed, Head of the Department of General Surgery, who will supervise the clinic along with Dr Naeem Taj.
