preventive health network
live longer by treating when healthy
PREPARE A NETWORK FOR PREVENTION AND TREATING A HEALTHY PERSON KEEP THE DISEASES AWAY AND LIVE LONGER
A CONCEPT
For a very long time we have been knowing that PREVENTION IS BETTER THAN CURE but we all know that how many of us really take it seriously. The result is that A good network exists for CURE but very little for PREVENTION. Incidents do occur everynow and then when a person complains about something wrong in his body and he is rushed to the hospital where he is treated as an emergency case may be resulting in death. Fault(physical or mental) does not develop in a body instantly as it is a cumulative effect of something wrong happening within the body unknowingly during a course of time. The person concerned does not know about it because frequent check ups and medical tests of his healthy body is not part of his life system. He gets it done to the extent of the complaint only when one part of the body complains and that is the end of the matter. Full check up at a regular frequency is a far cry. Lack of awareness , inertia and non- availability of vital testing facility at his door or under one roof at a place come on his way. However, these factors donot come on his way for his car or a tractor which he gets serviced and checked up thoroughly at regular intervals to keep it in order and well maintained. Had he consider his body also like a similar machine and treated it in the same way, he would have kept away from diseases and emergencies and lived healthy and longer.Is it not a very irresponsible act which gives pain, loss of time and money and trouble to all around ?Should it not be our aim to “live healthy and die healthy”.This machine designed by ALMIGHTY has medicinal system inside which keeps the body healthy most of the time automatically. It is something like------DUKH ME SUMIRAN SAB KARE SUKH ME KARE NA KOY JE SUKH ME SUMIRAN KARE TO DUKH KAHE KO HOY. Ironically, we like to worship dead statues of God but not this live human body which is His best creation. Human bodies, growing with age, can also be well maintained, in the same way as a well maintained VINTAGE CAR, which shines at the exhibitions and wins car races.
PREVENTION
Following actions in general prevent the body from diseases:-
-achieve best natural body immunization,gifted by Almighty, who designed this body machine, and save sickness naturally by increasing body resistence -regular check ups and vital tests once in six months or a year as per medical advice. -vaccination - hygein -daily walking and exercise -intaking of oxygen by breathing exercise or pranayam -selective and pollution free breathing, eating and drinking -intake of prescribed vitamins -intake of prescribed preventive medicines -yoga and naturopathy - counseling (special for mental health ) -etc. etc.
REQUIRED NETWORK
At present testing facilities are adequately available at least in urban areas for CURE. But these are not existent in urban areas under one roof as a PREVENTIVE facility and are almost non existent in small towns and villages. Same is the situation of other preventive measures stated above.
Therefore, it is necessary to create a network of preventive measures for all the citizens who, under the CONSTITUTION, have a fundamental right TO LIVE, and it is the duty of the Governments to protect lives.Unfortunately neither the citizens are aware of their rights nor the Governments are serious to protect these rights.How can one live or survive when he does not know what wrong is happening inside his body continuously which can take away his life any day at any moment without sufficient prior notice and how Govts. Can protect when they never cared to develop a network of protection/prevention. Everyone cared for CURE and not for PREVENTION
It is high time now that we take notice of this great deficiency existing in our system and see that either publically or privately or as a joint venture we get a strong network of PREVENTION by :-
-Establishing minimum one central place fully equipped with all preventive facilities in all major cities. -These places will also have fully equipped mobile units with back up systems to go to each ward in the cities and to go to each village in districts. -computerised files of regular tests etc. shall be maintainted by these units with one copy to each citizen by updating each time. -Full guidance shall be provided after the testing for next steps to be taken. -Annual maintenance contract(AMC) of each human body similar to AMC of many other machines. - education and training to all citizens on Preventive systems of health
As people are not aware and serious and have inertia, lot of effort are required to be made by running awareness programmes through media publicity prior to develop such a network.Manufactureres of testing equipments and Pathologists, who will also be benefited, should also be associated.Doctors will also be benefited by adding a large number of healthy patients to their list. This can also be an attractive proposition for those who want to run SERVICE INDUSTRY, which can be known as SWASTHYA AAPKE DWAR.
WE SHOULD REMEMBER THAT HEALTHY CITIZENS CAN ONLY MEET THE FUTURE CHALLENGES FOR THE NATION
PREVENTIVE HEALTH INSTITUTE
As per books and theory, “prevention is better than cure” but as per practice, cure is dominating everywhere in the world. This is because most of the institutes in the world are educating and training doctors for cure and they are doing there job to the best of their knowledge and we are accepting blindly what they say. Due to domination of allopathic Doctors in health services, all the efforts/policies made in this direction have produced strong network of cure with uncountable number of doctors, hospitals, medicines and clinics which have not been able to reduce the number of diseases and the patients. Suerly, if prevention was given its due place in the institutes, policy making, this situation would have resulted in minimizing the diseases and the patients. However, better late than never. A good number of high class institutes, like IIM’s, can be started now , which may produce Managers of Preventive Health, in such a way that in next few years their number is larger than the doctors to make prevention dominate and as such prove that “prevention is better than cure”. As Human Body is a machine, this course can also be called as “Human Body Engineering” or “Human Health Engineering” The subjects/faculties in these institutes could be---natural body resistence and immunization,vaccination,hygein, food and dieting,yoga and exercises,medical testing,vitamins and neutritive/preventive medicines, health counselling etc. etc. This proposition will help the humanity and those connected with health in a big way.
PREVENTIVE HEALTH ASSOCIATION
Health is a very important subject for everyone because with not so good mental and physical health, achievements in life shall also not be good as well. The fact of life is that for such an important subject most of us including the governments are not so careful. Knowing fully well that “prevention of health is better than its cure”, we hardly do anything about prevention. No doubt that there are some like Swami Ramdev who are contributing significantly to remove this deficiency but the required effort is too large and therefore more such efforts are required to be done, such that each citizen becomes fully aware and serious about it and does all what is required to be done to protect/prevent himself from diseases. One such Indo-French Association has recently been registered in France for taking up works on preventive health and have chosen Jaipur District for this work to start with. The core concept of this association is to take “health at your door” or “ swasthya aapke dwar “.
PREVENTIVE HEALTH MEDICINE
There are certain medicines which also maintain the body in healthy conditions.One such medicine is being made by SPIRULINA ( algae on water ) which has highest Protein(61%), iron and calcium content as well as other minerals etc., which improves immunization system of human body.It is a complete food for malnourished children and anaemic mothers and is used in treatment of various diseases including prevention of cancer, and is much in use in Europe and USA. It improves haemoglobin,TRBC and HDL-C while reducing triglycerides total cholesterol, LDL-C VLDL-C and blood glucose level and thus cures a number of diseases found in rural areas. One such SPIRULINA project (a social work) is being run in a village BURTHAL, near Bassi, in Jaipur District, which is at a very small scale and needs to be converted into a mega project, with a chain(network) of this domestic industry, which can be a great source of rural employment also, specially for women. . Media and Marketing experts can make it possible and do a great service to humanity.
LIVE EXAMPLE OF PREVENTIVE HEALTH CENTRE
Very close to Jaipur city, at Jagatpura, KHEJARI SARVODAYA TRUST AND HEALTH CENTRE is actually taking care of the health of villagers of about 35 villages, free of cost, which includes, free out door consultation at the centre, free medicine, consultation at your door by mobile van, and educating and training the villagers on all aspects of preventive health. Such centres should be there in large number as a network for prevention. This will be a great service to humanity and will protect the fundamental right of Indian citizen TO LIVE.
