I feel H1N1 is more of personal hygiene issue than blaming others. 1)You can cover your face whenever you are coughing and same applies to the person who is coughing in front of you. 2) Vaccination is cheaper than the cost of test for H1N1 ( approx. Rs 1400/ for vaccination & Rs 4500/ for test) 3)Then there is no harm following simple home remedies- drinking a glass of Turmeric Milk in morning and evening is very helpful. 4) 7-Ilaichi, 4- cloves, 1 small piece of Ginger, 7 pieces of Basil/ Tulsi, 1/4 tea spoon Turmeric, 1 medium size piece of Dalchini, 1/4 small spoon Kala salt. Boil everything together with 4 cups of water till it remains just 1 cup. Store it in Glass Bottle/Jar. Everyday you can consume 2 spoons empty stomach at least for three days which will help to prevent Swine flu. This helps to increase your immunity. I hope people will get benefit of these activities and stay healthy more

The scarcity of Staff is deliberately created one, these days every organization is adopting this as a policy to Save cost by reducing staff and increasing pressure on existing staff, in the name of overtime/double shift people accept such long hour duty & kill their time by sleeping in any dark corner , on the other hand there is pressure they will opt for staff through out sourcing which means inefficient & Semi skilled / unskilled casual staff ( another source of making money) from contractors. Mr.Kejriwal had promised to regularize the casual workers, good, but then they need to be monitored regularly otherwise things will go bad to worst ??? more

Repeating the issue,the staffs in night are in less in number to serve the patients ,so the hospital authority compels to the patients relatives to stay with the patients in night ,as a result the hospital premise becomes more dirty!! more

It has been a good initiative. On similar lines , we should collate the flaws which exist in private hospitals as well, wherein the fees are very high for a middle class person, doctors advise for even the tests which are not reqd. for a particular problem, each time you visit , for a follow-up, they charge fees thru O PD. The Govt. must reign these private hospitals before it is too late. An Agency, should be formed to monitor these hospitals. more
