Rajana Sisila: On Saturday, Municipal and Urban Development Minister KT Ramarao surprised everyone, revealing that he was diagnosed with diabetes about 16 years ago when he took a diagnostic test for an insurance contract. With his early diagnosis, he took precautions to develop healthy habits, including less food consumption, and improve his health.
He revealed his health status during the launch of a pilot project for health profile research in a program held in Bemurawada on Saturday, emphasizing the need for health and early diagnosis of illness. As a treatment for a healthy life. Initially, pilot projects for health profile surveys began in the Murgue and Rajanasirsila districts. After a successful 60-day implementation, the project will begin in all districts.
In doing so, the minister said Telangana is ready to become a national role model by building a healthy nation by providing better medical services to its people. An electronic health card system has been introduced in the state to record complete health data for each person undergoing a health profile survey.
As part of the investigation, a team in the medical and health department visited all families to collect details. Every day, the team covers 10 to 15 families and records details on electronic tabs. In addition to collecting blood samples for various tests, eye tests and oral screening are done on the spot. All details of people’s health are recorded on electronic health cards, helping to save lives by providing treatment in an emergency. Through fingerprint scans and iris scans, we were able to learn more about people’s health.
If people lose consciousness in a car accident, eHealth cards will help provide treatment without wasting golden time in an emergency, the minister said. A total of 260 research teams consisting of ANM and two ASHA workers were formed to carry out the district health survey. People’s health profile data is kept confidential and used in emergencies. Everyone, regardless of political party, needs to work with the government to make the program a success.
Through the health profile survey, I was able to know in advance about people’s health problems. “Recent studies have shown that there are more cancer patients in the Sirsila area and more heart disease in other areas. People in Nargonda and Udanam while Beedy workers are suffering from cancer. Suffering from fluorinosis and kidney disease, respectively, “said the minister. If necessary, he assured him of establishing a cancer treatment center in Sirsila and a heart center in other areas, depending on his health survey data.
Meanwhile, some steps have been taken to strengthen the health sector. Rama Rao’s giving birth to a pregnant woman who was positive for Covid at Vemurawada Hospital was a great achievement. During the Covid-19 pandemic, many people died due to lack of oxygen facilities in other states. However, he said no patient died from oxygen deficiency in Telangana due to the large number of oxygen plants established in the state. Three CT scan units have been installed at the district headquarters hospital. Nationwide, palliative care facilities were only available in Kerala. The facility has also been set up at Sirsila Hospital, and the minister added that a pediatric ward was also established.
The minister admitted to opposition leaders for his criticism of the state government for mispredicting certain problems, despite the many facilities provided to public hospitals in Sirsila and Bemurawada. He also announced sanctions of 300 million rupees to build Dr. C Narayana Ledybavan in Sirsila and 25 rupees to build a vocalist in Tipapour, Bemurawada.
