  • Vijay Dhawangale roots for preventive healthcare on the eve of World Health Day

    Vijay Dhawangale roots for preventive healthcare on the eve of World Health Day

    Vijay Dhawangale stresses on the importance of preventive healthcare

    Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], April 6: On the eve of World Health Day, global healthcare consultant Vijay Dhawangale proposes a revolutionary Public-Private Partnership (PPP) model, which aims at easing the burden of disease on citizens, by offering them free-of-cost diagnostic services through public health facilities in their respective countries.

    Mounting expenses due to increasing costs of diagnostic services further compounded by limited availability, especially in remote regions, puts a tremendous burden on patients especially those belonging to lower socio-economic sections.

    “In the absence of accurate diagnostic reports, physicians in many parts of the world are unable to offer effective prognosis and care. Patients often have to shell out additional money to access diagnostic services which may be even more expensive than the cost of medicines themselves,” says Vijay Dhawangale, referring to the dearth of qualitative diagnostic facilities.

    Dhawangale proposes a PPP model – Healthcare Diagnostics Programs, involving nuanced strategies for local and state level implementation, overseen by a central agency designated by governments.

    The initiative envisions providing a package of essential diagnostic services free-of-cost across all public health facilities, using innovative, low-cost technology. As per the proposed model, the government’s role can be limited to enabling these diagnostic laboratories to be set up, while the responsibility of providing quality diagnostics would lie with the relevant laboratory partners.

    Dhawangale has also piloted a PPP healthcare project by setting up more than 200 diagnostic laboratories across five states in India, spanning both private and public sectors.

    Over 10 million citizens in remote locations across India are supposed to have availed free diagnostic services from these labs, which are attached to over 3,000 government hospitals. He believes that this model has the potential for being scaled and implemented as nationwide programs in various countries all over the world.

    “Various studies have demonstrated that over 10 percent of annual income in Indian households is spent on privately provided healthcare. Whether it is due to lack of public facilities or access to them, this amount is significant especially for households already on the brink of poverty. The Healthcare Diagnostic Programs can be aimed at making quality diagnostic healthcare facilities available to all, to improve quality of life and provide timely facilities,” remarks Dhawangale.

    In India, specifically, the burden of non-communicable diseases (NCDs) is increasing. While in many developed countries, NCDs are typically seen in individuals aged 55 years or older, they occur in India at least a decade earlier. Further, due to lack of awareness and limited access to healthcare facilities, the majority of these chronic conditions remain undiagnosed.

    Availability and access to quality diagnostic facilities, as proposed by the Healthcare Diagnostic Programs, can enable detection of risks and diseases at early stages, and positively impact disease management while reducing associated costs.

    Apart from reducing the burden on citizens, the model can also ensure that governments can focus on providing the right financial support and environment for the implementation of such a scheme, without having to set up and maintain infrastructure, human resources and consumables, which can be managed by the laboratory partners with efficiency.

    This World Health Day let us vow to focus on preventing diseases and managing them well, by providing access to quality healthcare for all.

    Who is Vijay Dhawangale?

    Vijay Dhawangale is a venture capitalist and a global healthcare consultant, having dabbled in various entrepreneurial ventures across domains and industries. As a champion of quality healthcare for all, Dhawangale passionately voices his perspectives on how it can be made accessible to all.

    He has piloted a PPP healthcare project by setting up over 200 diagnostic laboratories across five states in India, spanning both private and public sectors. Over 10 million citizens in remote locations across India are supposed to have availed free diagnostic services from these labs, which are attached to over 3,000 government hospitals.

    Dhawangale was also instrumental in setting up more than 15 COVID testing labs in key locations across the country, during the peak of the pandemic, to aid accurate and accelerated testing.

  • Gujarat emerges as a Medical Tourism Destination – Primex News Network

    Gujarat emerges as a Medical Tourism Destination – Primex News Network

    Gujarat (India), April 4: India is at par with other western and European countries because of its state-of-the-art facilities, excellent infrastructure, expert healthcare professionals, conventional healthcare therapies, and quality nursing facilities. Cost is one vital factor that makes India lucrative for medical tourism. Apart from modern medical procedures, India is known for ancient health and wellness methods such as Ayurveda, Yoga, and Naturopathy. A broad spectrum of hospitals in India caters to medical tourism. Addressing the 2022 post-budget webinar of the Union Health Ministry and Family Welfare, our Prime Minister emphasized facilitating universal access to India’s quality and the cost-effective healthcare system. It will boost medical tourism and provide more income opportunities for citizens in Gujarat.

    Because of medical tourism people prefer to treat their illnesses closer to home, but obstacles, such as long waiting periods, high treatment costs, and other factors, would force them to cross borders for the best and most efficient medical care. Medical tourists are those people who travel to a foreign country to receive quality healthcare services. There is a significant growth in the globalization of health that has led to the rise of medical tourism. Medical Tourism, in recent years, has become a growing sector in our country. Medical Tourism in India, in mid-2020, was estimated to be worth around USD 9 billion.

    Medical Tourism in Gujarat

    Gujarat has a competitive edge over other states in terms of medical tourism. This is due to the state’s world-class facilities, super-specialty hospitals, excellent doctors, zero waiting time, reasonable prices, and cutting-edge infrastructure. Previously, the private sector had a minimal role in Gujarat’s healthcare sector. However, it has now evolved into a booming industry. The local government support is also essential to sustain the market.

    Vibrant Gujarat Initiative

    Vibrant Gujarat, a successful initiative that improves the state’s economic relations, also benefits the healthcare industry in Gujarat. This project brought about a radical change in the state hospitals, which got further accelerated by the arrival of international healthcare providers. Many hospitals in the state have substantial experience providing healthcare to NRGs. Most of them have national and global accreditations like JCI and NABH certifications.

    Government of India and Medical Tourism

    Consecutively, the Indian government has also implemented comprehensive strategies to enhance medical tourism in India. One of the most critical developments is to provide simple, quick, and special visas to any foreign traveler visiting India on medical grounds. Amongst the other states of India – Gujarat is emerging as the leading state for medical tourism. Ahmedabad, the most influential city in Gujarat – has acquired the distinction of being the country’s most renowned destination; for medical treatments.

    Top Medical Treatments in Gujarat

    A handful of the top medical treatments in Gujarat are

    –         Cardiology,

    –        In Vitro Fertilization,

    –        Dental Care,

    –         Spine Treatment,

    –        Cancer Treatment,

    –        Plastic Surgery,

    –        Wellness, and

    –        Holistic Care through Indian Systems of Medicine.

    The advancement in digitalization has enhanced the visibility of prominent doctors, surgeons, and hospitals. Medical professionals and hospitals can now display their specialties, skills, healthcare packages, and other relevant details online. Prospective patients across the world have easy access to this type of information.

    Medical Tourism consultants in Gujarat

    In this industry, many companies work as collaborators and service providers. MediFlam Pvt Ltd is one such example. MediFlam is the most effective and robust digital healthcare provider in the country. MediFlam assists and guides international patients to avail the best quality treatment facilities and medical services. They are renowned as the best Medical Tourism consultant in Gujarat. They not only facilitate top medical treatments to international patients but also handle all of their travel arrangements.

Plus, Ahmedabad has excellent air connectivity with several international destinations.

  • A Leading Pulmonologist’s Experimentation with Gandhi Marg – Primex News Network

    A Leading Pulmonologist’s Experimentation with Gandhi Marg – Primex News Network

    Rajasthan (India), April 5: The 21st century has tested materialism, bringing many scientific revolutions, which have proven a boon for humanity. However, in the face of materialism, the principles of Gandhiji are still relevant, whether it is the mantra of satyagraha (non-violence) or cleanliness, which Gandhiji considered the most important for physical well-being and a healthy environment. The core of the Gandhian legacy is that the TRUTH is greater than that of all worldly possessions and that slavery, violence, injustice, and disparities are inconsistent with the truth. Health4All Online, a weekly health shows run by HEAL Foundation every Sunday from 8 am to 11 am in its 24th episode, deliberated on “The Importance of Gandhi Marg in Healthcare system”.

    The author of ‘My experiments with Gandhi Marg’ Dr Virendra Singh, President, Rajasthan Hospital, Director, Asthma Bhawan, said, “We can solve day-to-day problems by applying Gandhi Marg without enmity. Success in anything is bound to come if you follow the Gandhi Marg persistently and patiently with honesty. The foundation of Gandhi Marg (ideology) is truth. According to Gandhiji, the harmony of thought, speech, and action can be said as true. Besides delivering their duties, if the healthcare workers follow the truth, the face of Indian healthcare will change automatically.”

    Deliberating on how he got inspired by Gandhian philosophy and experimented on himself, which worked wonders in transforming his life and fortifying his belief in the Gandhian philosophy of truth and prodded him to write the book, Dr Singh said, “The THREE-Points that I picked from Gandhian Philosophy regarding the rectification of ‘Mistake’ not only transformed my life but also the lives of others with whom I have interacted. These three points were: Accepting mistakes with guilt; determining not to repeat the mistakes; Atoning for mistakes committed.”

    Sharing his personal experiences with Gandhi Marg during the Health4All Online show, Dr Singh added, “I have experimented and found that the change of hearts can only be done through Gandhi Marg. If we do some planning in advance, we can resist many undesirable consequences of violence, agitation and crime. I have applied the Gandhian principle of Satyagraha (non-violence) that helped me end the strike of the contract workers of the hospital I was superintending in Rajasthan. I asked the people to volunteer their services as the contract workers were on strike, and people joined hands. Then the workers on strike came back to me and agreed to re-join and end the strike. This was perhaps the first case study in Independent India wherein satyagraha helped end strike. Gandhigiri also helps solve your problems. Gandhi Marg is always with truth. To follow Gandhi Marg, we need to have two things – TRUTH & BRAVERY. I have observed that helping others gives a different kind of happiness and satisfaction, which I have learnt from Gandhi Marg.”

    While moderating the session of Health Counter during the Health4All show, Dr Swadeep Srivastava, Founder of HEAL Health & HEAL Foundation, said, “Of course, Gandhian principles are always relevant irrespective of age provided if we follow them wholeheartedly with truthfulness as the central message of Gandhian philosophy is the TRUTH. Also, the Gandhian legacy of simple living in conformity with the basic rhythm of life typifies the age-old wisdom of humanity. We need to educate the people about the basic principles of Gandhigiri.”

    “We are one in God,” says Chairman Lee Man-hee of Shincheonji church – Primex News Network

    Chairman Man-Hee Lee of Shincheonji Church of Jesus

    The pastors from various countries in the world who established MOUs with Shincheonji church invited to a press conference on the 2ndof April

    “We can learn the revealed word because God dwells in Shincheonji church,”says the pastors

    April 5: Shincheonji Church of Jesus, the Temple of the Tabernacle of the Testimony (Shincheonji Church of Jesus, under the leadership of Chairman Lee Man-hee) hosted a press conference with pastors from various countries in the world who established MOUs with Shincheonji at 5:00 PM(KST), on the 2ndof April. It was well attended by 1,500 pastors from all over the world along with reporters and journalists on ZOOM.

    Shincheonji Church of Jesus hosted this event to share the progress in the online seminars that began from last year, MOUs established thus far, along with some case examples. Kim Shin-chang, the Head of the Department of International Missions stated, “Many participants from Africa in the Bible Seminar from August last year reached out to establish MOUs with us which led to the first MOU in September with the Worship in the Presence of God Church in Uganda,” explaining how Shincheonji first started to establish MOUs with other churches.

    Some case examples and testimonials from pastors who established MOUs with Shincheonji were shared during the press conference.

    Dongsu Kim, the head pastor of Peace Church confessed, “In the past all I preached was that everyone must believe in Jesus and by sharing grace in this way would lead to salvation. Without fulfillment, I thought heaven was somewhere one went to after death. I thought there was resurrection after death,” expressing his incorrect beliefs about salvation.

    Pastor Kim is presently teaching Shincheonji’s Revealed Word to his own congregation. He also stated, “The time has come for all the pastors to come and learn so that they may live a life of faith in the correct truth. I want to share Shincheonji’s Revealed Word to my fellow pastors. I want them to learn the Word and realize that their ideas of salvation is incorrect.”

    Pastor WillifredEndohu, a pastor who has been leading his church for 11 years in Cote d’Ivoire, introduced himself stating, “I studied theology in a seminary and was trained to be a pastor through prayer meetings and began ministering a church in a very small room. Thankfully enough, 11 years later my congregation has grown to be about 500 members. I am also a lecturer at a seminary institute as well.”

    Chairman Lee spoke about how he has come to share the Word and the role of pastors today.

    “Revelation is about re-creation. If you look at Revelation 21, the first heaven and the first earth pass away and a new heaven and a new earth are created. It is about creating people and all creation again,” Chairman Lee stated, explaining that those who are born of God’s seed are harvested and sealed to create God’s new kingdom and new people at the time of Revelation.

    He also added, “Writing the word of all the chapters of Revelation in people’s hearts is harvesting, sealing, and nurturing those who have been born of God’s seed and making them into the citizens of God’s kingdom. [This is why] Jesus showed me the events of all the chapters of Revelation and commanded me to testify to all the churches,” as he explained the role of the promised pastor today.

    In his concluding remarks, Chairman Lee stated, “We must become freedom fighters of God’s kingdom that restore what God lost. Let’s fight and overcome the devil with the blood of Jesus and the word of testimony and create the people of God’s kingdom so that God may finally come and reign over the world after 6000 years. This is what God has made known to us through the Bible. I hope that everyone engraves the words of all the chapters of Revelation—which is the law of heaven—in their hearts. There is only one God, one Bible and one hope. We, as those who believe in God, are also one. We are one!”

    Some case examples of what happens after establishing MOUs were also shared. A church named, The Early Church of the New Era in the United States of America, has invited an instructor from Shincheonji, where some 100 members of the church is learning the teachings of Shincheonji Church of Jesus. A Filipino pastor is teaching his congregation after completing the Bible courses from Shincheonji Church of Jesus. A seminary school in Pakistan has opened up courses in the institution after its dean established an MOU with Shincheonji.

    According to Shincheonji Church of Jesus, 2155 pastors, 22 seminary schools, 958 churches in 67 countries have established MOUs with Shincheonji Church of Jesus. Shincheonji Church of Jesus is providing theology materials and instructors for the churches and seminary schools that have made MOUs with them to educate people of the Bible as mutually decided upon in the agreement.

    Deliberating on how he got inspired by Gandhian philosophy and experimented on himself, which worked wonders in transforming his life and fortifying his belief in the Gandhian philosophy of truth and prodded him to write the book, Dr Singh said, “The THREE-Points that I picked from Gandhian Philosophy regarding the rectification of ‘Mistake’ not only transformed my life but also the lives of others with whom I have interacted. These three points were: Accepting mistakes with guilt; determining not to repeat the mistakes; Atoning for mistakes committed.”

    Sharing his personal experiences with Gandhi Marg during the Health4All Online show, Dr Singh added, “I have experimented and found that the change of hearts can only be done through Gandhi Marg. If we do some planning in advance, we can resist many undesirable consequences of violence, agitation and crime. I have applied the Gandhian principle of Satyagraha (non-violence) that helped me end the strike of the contract workers of the hospital I was superintending in Rajasthan. I asked the people to volunteer their services as the contract workers were on strike, and people joined hands. Then the workers on strike came back to me and agreed to re-join and end the strike. This was perhaps the first case study in Independent India wherein satyagraha helped end strike. Gandhigiri also helps solve your problems. Gandhi Marg is always with truth. To follow Gandhi Marg, we need to have two things – TRUTH & BRAVERY. I have observed that helping others gives a different kind of happiness and satisfaction, which I have learnt from Gandhi Marg.”

    While moderating the session of Health Counter during the Health4All show, Dr Swadeep Srivastava, Founder of HEAL Health & HEAL Foundation, said, “Of course, Gandhian principles are always relevant irrespective of age provided if we follow them wholeheartedly with truthfulness as the central message of Gandhian philosophy is the TRUTH. Also, the Gandhian legacy of simple living in conformity with the basic rhythm of life typifies the age-old wisdom of humanity. We need to educate the people about the basic principles of Gandhigiri.”

    Gujarat (India), April 4: India is at par with other western and European countries because of its state-of-the-art facilities, excellent infrastructure, expert healthcare professionals, conventional healthcare therapies, and quality nursing facilities. Cost is one vital factor that makes India lucrative for medical tourism. Apart from modern medical procedures, India is known for ancient health and wellness methods such as Ayurveda, Yoga, and Naturopathy. A broad spectrum of hospitals in India caters to medical tourism.
