Patient Welfare Committees
Delhi government on Thursday announced its plans to set up patient welfare committees at all government hospitals to deal with public grievances on various health and medical issues.
According to officials of the health department, the city's government hospitals will have 38 such committees to be headed by MLA of the area who will get an office in the hospital to address patients' grievances.
Health Minister Satyendra Jain said the patient welfare committees will ensure community participation and monitor functioning of health care facilities.
"Their role will be to deal with day to day public grievances and resolve these issues at local level. Decisions on issues like lack of medicines, cleanliness and treatment will be taken on the spot by these committees," he said.
The government has also formed 10 district committees, to be chaired by MLAs, to look after dispensary and health related schemes and programmes. more

In Times of India, Mumbai Edition, dated 6th January page 5, there was an article "88 % Nurses working in hospitals are suffering from Lower back pain and wrist pain" The Lions Club Mumbai Sujok wrote to Mayor of Mumbai, Minister of Health etc. "if Nurses working in hospitals with best of medical facilities available to them are suffering from pain, what will be the condition of common people suffering from pain, whom doctors are treating. Every body knows that doctors and nurses are not willing to consume pain killers as they have serious side effects in the long run. Fortunately Lions Club has been treating and training Armed Forces Maharashtra police for pain problems. The Mayor asked the Director, Major Hospitals to hold a Pain management camp. On 24th March 2015 we treated over 75 nurses, doctors and hospital staff for pain problems without medicines. Every one was very happy and astonished at non doctors treating doctors and nurses. We suggest AAP Government invite us to treat people in Delhi, we had demonstrated it to Shri Anna Hazareji in his village and as stated earlier we are training Armed Forces, Maharashtra Police. Let AAP Government give us a Chance and see the results. more
