Tamil Nadu Medical field current interlink update
Medical Affair
Yesterday I got a spark after reading the newspaper. There were two news contents which were off the same field but both are contrast to each other. At second page, there is a news regarding a 12 yr boy from Tamil Nadu, has undergone a surgery for rare backbone defect. At page 4, there is a news that, Tamil Nadu has slipped 8 rows below in health index, and it definitely stated the downfall of Tamil Nadu state in medical field, who usually perform as a front runner in this medicine field.
Rare Surgery
Yesterday, a 12 yr old boy from Kancheepuram district, had underwent a surgery for Lipomyelomeningocele - a rare bone defect. Oh it might find difficult to prononunce, but this is the case and a hot news in medical field. It was held at Gleneagles Global Health City. This is a long 11 hr surgery which was done in Two stages. It is a rare defect which develops an unusual fatty mass at spinal cord. In the two stages, at first stage,the process involved the removal of mass and the second stage added the correction of deformity using instrumented fusion. This was undergone successfully.
Tamil Nadu's scenario in current health index
Yesterday, NITI Aayog has released the health index for the year 2018-19, in which Tamil Nadu has slipped 8 rows from the previous year section. This indicates that TN has been unimproved from previous years in Medical Field, But Tamil Nadu usually emerged as a top runner, in the medical field. However, Tamil Nadu had made significant improvement in reducing Neo-Natal Mortality Rate(NMR) and Under Five Mortality Rate. IT also has established atleast one cardiac care unit for every two districts and achieved 100 % registration of births.
My view and thoughts
How does a State can be slipped in Health Index, even though it has performed a rare surgery, which became a hot news in India ?? Even though it had made significant improvements and reduction in Medicine Field, why it hasn't reached much recognition ?? Why TN is facing the real crisis ??
