  • Medical Termination of Pregnancy in India: Evidence-Based Learnings for Policymakers

    Susheela Singh, Rubina Hussain, Chander Shekhar, Rajib Acharya, Melissa Stillman, Ann M Moore

     

    New Delhi [India], June 9: Abortion in India continues to face high levels of stigma– this stigma pushes women seeking abortion away from legal services; curtails dissemination of information on abortion, and affects the delivery of essential services in the public health system. Consequently, millions of women prefer not to go to public health facilities for abortion services. It is estimated that 78% of the 15.6 million abortions that take place each year in India occur in non-facility settings, mainly through medical abortion pills.

    Newly published evidence (Incidence of Treatment for Postabortion Complications in India, 2015) in BMJ Global Health further suggests that in 2015, 5.2 million women in India received treatment for induced abortion complications, a treatment rate of 15.7 per 1000 women aged 15–49; comparable to countries where abortion law is highly restrictive, and unsafe abortion is likely to be prevalent. Notably, many of the patients who were treated for postabortion complications resulting from the use of medical abortion pills may not have needed treatment to complete their abortion – if they had been provided accurate information on how the method works, what to expect after taking the pills, and how to recognize a complication.

    On March 16th, 2021, the Indian Parliament passed amendments to the Medical Termination of Pregnancy (MTP) Bill 2020; while on the one hand the Bill is being applauded for removing some recurring barriers for women seeking abortions; it is also being criticized for not empowering women with complete choice. However, we should not underestimate the opportunities this policy reform brings: It has the potential to improve the experiences of millions of women who terminate unintended pregnancies in India each year.

    Firstly, the MTP Act and its Regulations and operational guidelines currently only permit obstetrician gynaecologists and MBBS doctors who have been trained and registered to provide abortion in approved facilities.  Therefore, policymakers need to consider expanding the provider base for legal abortion services. Registered providers in unapproved facilities may provide medical abortion; however, they must have referral linkages to approved facilities. The training requirements as laid out in the abortion law are rigorous and do not distinguish between surgical and medical methods of abortion. Given this situation, the government could increase access to safe abortion services by permitting and providing simplified training to a larger number of providers, who would then be certified to provide medical abortion only. This will not only significantly increase the options for women seeking abortion services but also leverage the potential of medical abortion technology. The paper also recommends that to ensure that women seeking abortions are well-supported and provided credible information, including on referral facilities, policies should extensively cover community health intermediaries and equip them with adequate information to direct and guide women looking to terminate an unwanted pregnancy.

    Secondly, there is a need to improve the experience of women seeking treatment for post-abortion complications in public facilities. In the study – Incidence of Treatment for Postabortion Complications in India, 2015- conducted in six Indian states—Assam, Bihar, Gujarat, Madhya Pradesh, Tamil Nadu, and Uttar Pradesh, respondents estimated that a variable but high proportion of all women receiving postabortion care were admitted with incomplete abortion from use of medical abortion; Prolonged or abnormal bleeding and incomplete abortion resulting from use of methods other than medical abortion were also common complications. However, it should be noted that the clinical efficacy of medical abortion in the early gestation period is95%–98% when the method is used correctly and drugs are of high quality, and at a minimum 2%–5% of all users of medical abortion would have incomplete abortions and may need medical treatment.

    Since most medical abortion users in India obtain the method outside of the formal health system and the method they are using is highly effective, the paper points to the possibility for patients to experience an incomplete abortion or other complications as a result of the medication being administered incorrectly or the medication is being compromised. Nevertheless, this points to the important recommendation that to improve women’s experience of using medical abortion, all women who use medical abortion (and especially those who obtain it outside of facilities) must receive accurate information and good quality medical abortion supplies. However, for those who still approach facilities for treatment of post-abortion complications following medical abortion, there is a need to address a range of issues such as inadequate privacy and confidentiality, provider biases, and cost barriers.

    Lastly, it is imperative that women have access to accurate information on medical abortion regardless of the source of care preferences. One way to do this, as the paper recommends, would be to improve access to information via inserts in medical abortion packets to help facilitate women’s ability to use the method correctly, know what to expect and when to seek care. There is also a need for innovative approaches for public dissemination of information about the correct usage of the method by means that reach more women.

    Medical abortion is a safe and effective technology that has had a major impact in opening up access to safe abortion for women in India. It is imperative that we leverage it for expanding legal providers in the formal health system while also making accurate information available to women on the usage of the method.

  • Asveda: the Ayurvedic brand shields your health with its natural immunity boosters

    Ancient Ayurveda for Modern Lifestyle

    Ahmedabad (Gujarat) [India], May 20: One of the noted Ayurveda authors Shubhra Krishan quoted, “The great thing about Ayurveda is that its treatments always yield side benefits, not side effects.” Abiding by this even before this quote was quoted, Late Vaidyaraja Shree Nagindas Shah, who kick-started Unjha – a 125-year-old Ayurvedic company believed in the healing outcomes of the ancient medicine of this sacred branch of science. Asveda is a wellness brand pioneered by the Unjha Company.

    The company is now run by Jainaa Gandhi, who has been long associated with the concept of Ayurvedic medicine. Asveda has introduced two products, both dealing with natural health remedies. The products are known as Asveda Shitalamrut & Asveda Chyawanprash. The products are strong immunity boosters for extreme conditions. While Shitalamrut is for summer, that keeps the body cool and provides immunity at the same time, Chyawanprash is for winter which works to keep the body warmer and immune. Both the products are available in glass jar bottles with great packaging & design, while Chyawanprash has black packaging with a strip of orange, Shitalamrut has white packaging with blue stripes. This is all about what’s outside the immunity bolstering bottles, the real deal is what’s inside the bottles. The quality is certified under the aegis of FSSAI (Food safety and standards authority of India) & FDCA (Food and drug controlling authority of India).

    Asveda Shitalamrut

    With 125 years of wellness experience, the company invented “Asveda Shitalamrut”. The invention was more like a miracle made in hands as this Cooling Chyawanprash is directly linked with keeping the body fit as well as the mind fresh at the same time. Shitalamrut as per the name helps in the vitalizing digestive system combats acidity & heartburn thus keeping the body cool, calm, and composed. This unique product is a blend of ingredients of this summer cooling Chyawanprash with Mishri (Khadi Sakar), Raw Honey, black grapes, Fennel (Saunf), Khadi Sakar, Nutmeg (Jaiphal), Rose petals, and many other organic herbs.

    This product is also an immunity booster and renders support to the system against common infections and allergies. It is also the perfect go-to product for summers as this is an excellent summer coolant and reduces the burning sensation in the body by vitiation of pitta. It also controls the release of excessive fluid like sweat and balances it; the product also works as a great antioxidant.

    Asveda Chyawanprash

    While Asveda Chyawanprash is made up of 100% organic jaggery, honey, cow desi ghee, Hira Bhasma, Suvarna(Gold) Bhasma, Silver Bhasma, Saffron, Cardamom, Giloy, Ashwagandha, Pipal, Safed Moosli, and many other organic herbs. The aforementioned herbs are rich in Vitamin C, Vitamin A, Iron, and Calcium. There are multiple advantages of consuming Asveda Chyawanprash which are – Honey bolstering immunity, jaggery helps in haemoglobin, and boosts energy levels throughout the day. Apart from this, the ayurvedic mixture helps in detoxifying the body, weight control, and improves stamina. Likewise Shitalamrut this too does not have any added sweeteners or artificial flavours and is 100% natural.

    Thus, there are several benefits of consuming both Shitalamrut & Chyawanprash regularly. Firstly, it helps in developing a strong immunity system. There is no age restriction in consuming the product and anyone can have it from the young to the elderly. It is thus a tonic for all ages. It gives protection from the day to day infections like cough and cold and even strong infections and disease-causing germs. It makes the body strong enough to fight various illnesses as well. Other than this, the product also enhances the process of digestion. It also provides energy to the body and strengthens the weak nerves and muscles. The regulation of new blood and metals like mass, fat, bone marrow, and semen is also enhanced by the Chyawanprash. Eating this in an adequate amount also provides natural vitamins and minerals to the body. Owing to contemporary times, this product can be consumed regularly as a habit as the body needs to be really fit right now and have a strong immune system to fight the virus.

    The tangy taste also makes it a go-to for people who love unique flavours. Asveda Chyawanprash is 100% Vegetarian, No artificial sweetener, No Artificial flavour, No Artificial Sugar, No starch, 100% Organic, and absolutely Gluten Free. Other competing products in markets are made of 60% sugar which is acidic, where Asveda uses only Jaggery & mishri (Khadi Sakar) which are antacids and are alkaline in nature. Hence, it is one of the best solutions for acidity because the high Zinc and magnesium content helps to boost intestinal strength. It aids digestion which results in reducing acidity or loose motions. Asveda is a true choice to keep the body warm and healthy through tough times.

  • Drugs Manufacturer from Hyderabad on overdrive

    Optimus Pharma gets DCGI nod for conducting Phase III Clinical Trials for Molnupiravir on patients with mild and moderate COVID-19 infection

    Hyderabad (Telangana) [India], May 19: Optimus Pharma on Tuesday received DCGI nod for conducting Phase III Clinical Trials for orally administered Molnupiravir capsules on patients with Mild and Moderate Covid-19 symptoms. With a severe shortage of antiviral drugs in the market against the SARS-CoV-2 infection, it is imperative that more drugs with potent antiviral activity against SARS-CoV-2 be introduced.

    Optimus pharma said having internally developed the active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) and the formulations for the product, it had filed for clinical trials with the DCGI. The regulator gave a nod for conducting the trial on mild and moderate patients on May 18 2021.

    As per the clinical trial, protocols approved, a total of 2500 subjects in both mild and moderate COVID-19 will be randomised in the study in a 1:1 ratio to Molnupiravir with standard supportive care or standalone standard supportive care. The treatment duration is a maximum of 05 days and the total study duration will be a maximum for 29 days from randomisation, the release said.

    “Optimus is all geared to immediately begin clinical trials on Molnupiravir on COVID-19 patients in India. The clinical trial will let us know the efficacy of this molecule on COVID-19 patients,” Chairman & Managing Director – Dr. D Srinivas Reddy said.

    In the previous press release, the company stated that Molnupiravir demonstrated highly promising results in reducing viral load to 0.0% in merely 5 days of treatment duration. Based on completed phase 2 part clinical studies, the proposed dosage is 800mg twice daily which significantly reduces viral culture in infected patients not progressing into ARDS.

    Optimus Pharma is one of the largest manufacturers of the highly successful SARS-CoV-2 antiviral drug without compromising on quality as is the case with Favipiravir (sold under the brand – FAVICOVID).  The company aims to do the same with Molnupiravir to cater to the rising demand for Anti-Viral drugs against SARS-CoV-2 in the Indian market.

    With the cooperation of the government and our stakeholders, and a special thanks to the Subject Expert Committee of the CDSCO for their valuable contribution and their recommendations to the project, we hope to deliver the product in India by leveraging our solid distribution strength across the country.

  • PIL filed by Divyanshu Mishra Anshu & Katni Blood Donors Welfare Society for installation of Plasma Apheresis machine in Katni (MP)

    Katni (Madhya Pradesh) [India], May 14: After taking relief to millions of people of 9 districts including Katni by installing a CT Scan machine through a PIL in the High Court, Divyanshu Mishra Anshu has pledged to install a blood component separator plasma apheresis machine in Katni Madhya Pradesh. Demand was being sought through a memorandum to which no concrete reply was received, NSUI National Coordinator Divyanshu Mishra Anshu filed a PIL regarding the installation of plasma apheresis blood component separator machine in MP High Court, Jabalpur through advocate Yogesh Soni. The co-petitioner in the said case is Chairman Lokesh Sachdeva from Katni Blood Donors Welfare Society and Shreha Raunak Khandelwal, Women Wing President.

    It is known that the population of the Katni district is more than 10 lakhs. People come to the district hospital for treatment from many small districts nearby. Plasma machine which is also used in many other illnesses is constantly seen saving patients by plasma penetration in Covid-19. In such a situation, not having this facility in the harvest is itself a matter of sorrow. The public has to go to Jabalpur, about 100 km from Katni, to donate the plasma. Sometimes the pregnant women have to go to Jabalpur in case the platelets are low, sometimes the patient dies on the way. Given the increasing outbreak of Covid-19 infection, all the health departments of MP are being asked to install the plasma apheresis machine from April 18 through a letter; no effective steps are being taken in the public interest, forcing the High Court the petition had to be filed in the asylum. The petitioner Divyanshu Mishra, co-petitioner Lokesh Sachdeva, and Shreha Raunak Khandelwal expressed confidence in the High Court that soon the court will pronounce a proper judgment in the public interest which will give relief to the public, the petition number of the case is WP / 9324 / 2021.

    Extended isolation and social distancing bring with it depression, anxiety, touch starvation, and several other small and big traumas. Post-pandemic, these issues are not likely to just go away. So what happens next is that you allow yourself to process in order to heal, and if needed, get professional help, advises Aanchal Narang who is experiencing additional caseloads at her clinic due to the pandemic situation.

    Dealing with grief, loss, isolation, abusive households, loss of a job, and loss of a regular life so to say, will inevitably mean that you have a whirlwind of emotions to deal with says, Aanchal Narang, Psychologist, and Another Light Counselling. You are also going through the loss of a “regular” life, where you’re unable to do your favorite activities, socialize normally, or basically experience any human contact. After life reverts to “normal,” you will have to deal with a completely new set of emotions. You won’t be the same person you were before. The pandemic takes its toll and you will inevitably feel weak and overwhelmed. In times like those, show yourself some self-compassion. Allow yourself to feel your pain, and address how you can work on these emotions to make yourself feel better.

    According to Aanchal Narang, COVID is not just a here-and-now phenomenon. It will have a lasting impact on how the world functions and how you personally function as well, even when it no longer exists. With the overwhelming emotions, there are a few things that you should do to help yourself.

    • Work-from-home might become the new norm. Find ways to make this a bearable, if not fun, experience for yourself.
    • Look for new experiences that you can truly enjoy for yourself. Solo activities were essential pre-pandemic, but they are all the more important now to keep your mind busy and uncluttered.
    • While social distancing and self-isolation mean a lack of physical human contact, find new people to interact with online. Hold game nights with your friends, join a community, find people with who you can spend time and who make you happy.

    The journey to self-compassion does not start later. COVID is a difficult situation where you need to be able to deal with your mental health in a non-detrimental manner. Give yourself time to feel bad about things, process those feelings, and then work on your healing, connect to things that motivate you, and indulge in hobbies to beat the depression says, Aanchal Narang.

    The consequence of not doing so could be burnout. You might be unable to find the motivation to keep living the way you do. Finding things that make you happy and healthy are essential to prevent the feeling of despair from taking over. Feeling overwhelmed is normal, how you deal with that feeling is a skill you need to hone.

    Dealing with Grief

    Mid-pandemic, a big emotion that a lot of us have to deal with is grief. Grief is a natural response to loss and it can be overwhelming because you’ve just had someone or something you dearly loved taken away from you.

    According to Anchal Narang, Psychologist, Another light Counselling, the process of grieving and coping with the sense of loss is complex, and you should look for professional help when dealing with these emotions.

    What are the stages of grief?

    We’ve all heard about the stages of grief (first enumerated by Elisabeth Kübler-Ross) wherein people dealing with loss tend to go through five major stages. Not everyone goes through all of these stages nor does it happen sequentially for everyone.

    1. Denial: When you can’t acknowledge the event at all and therefore, cannot acknowledge your pain.
    2. Anger: You start to question the cause for the event and look for someone to blame; whether it be yourself or someone else.
    3. Bargaining: You tend to bargain with the universe itself, offering anything in return for reversal of the event.
    4. Depression: Here, the grief incapacitates you to the point you don’t want to do anything but wallow in unprocessed emotions.
    5. Acceptance: You acknowledge the event as well as the subsequent pain that came with it.

    How do I deal with grief?

    The inevitable pain that comes with grief is something that you have to come to terms with on your own and everyone has a different coping process says Aanchal Narang, Psychologist. A few ways to do so are:

    1. Acknowledge your pain. Unresolved grief can also lead to complications such as depression, anxiety, substance abuse, and health problems. Add a global pandemic to the mix, finding healthy ways to process your pain is difficult- but even more necessary.
    2. Accept that grief can trigger many different and unexpected emotions.
    3. Understand that your grieving process will be unique to you. While the pandemic affects everyone, your loss is personal to you. There is no wrong or right way to process these emotions- find a way that helps you.
    4. Seek out face-to-face support from people who care about you. Family and friends in similar situations mean that you have a community for your grief. Reaching out can help you deal with a lot of the emotions you feel.
    5. Support yourself emotionally by taking care of yourself physically.
    6. Recognize the difference between grief and depression.

    At this point, you need to look for professional help. Depression needs help that is different from the process of grieving. The faster you get help, the less likely you are to fall into a spiral of unresolved emotions. With professional help, you can equip yourself with a set of tools that are unique to your pain and how you want to work through it.
