Future Trends in Healthcare Industry in India

Today’s Google Health care News discussed a story regarding “Future Trends in Healthcare Industry in India”. The synopsis of the news item which I enjoyed while reading.

Growing population, increasing affordability, comparative cheaper treatment costs as opposed to the west and medical tourism thereof, increased health insurance penetration, increased patient awareness, out-of-the-box unconventional thinking by the healthcare players for better operations, government opening up its arms to PPP and even providing tax holidays will be the key factors to look out for which would drive the future of healthcare in India.
According to recent studies conducted, the customer's (patient) aspirations are fast changing. Customers are growing more aware of their health needs, demand quick response, less waiting times, and above all - demand nearness of the healthcare unit to them. Customers though now demand better quality care; they however now do not want to travel much as in earlier days.
India has had notable achievements within the healthcare sector since independence in 1947. Life expectancy has doubled and infant mortality and crude death rates have been greatly reduced. Some diseases, such as small pox and guinea worm, have been eradicated. Others, such as leprosy and polio, have been nearly eliminated. And India's doctors and hospitals are increasingly receiving recognition for the quality of care they provide.
Nevertheless, India faces considerable challenges. For example, the country accounts for a relatively large share of the world's disease burden. And, while India's burgeoning middle class has greater access to excellent healthcare, the vast majority of citizens still have limited access to basic care. The quality of care varies significantly, as well. Also, India represents the world's second largest populated country. Industry estimates expect around 76 million Indians to be above 65 years of age by 2012, thereby increasing the prevalence of several chronic diseases. As the Indian population ages, demand for healthcare services will only increase.

Sri Madhusudhana Krishna

ஸ்ரீ மதுசூதன கிருஷ்ணா கிரிதர ஸ்யாம முராரி
இன்று மார்கழி இருபத்து ஏழாம் நாள். 
கூடாரை வெல்லும் சீர் கோவிந்தா உந்தன்னைப்
பாடிப் பறை கொண்டு யான் பெரும் சன்மானம்

அரியக்குடி - KVN - HVஸ்ரீவத்சன் - ராம நாராயணன்

மார்கழி மாதம் என்றால், திருப்பாவை.
திருப்பாவை பாடல்களை எங்கு கேட்டாலும் அது திரு அரியக்குடி ராமானுஜ ஐயங்கார் பாணி தான் நம் செவிக்குக் கேட்கும். அரியக்குடி என்று சொன்னால் ஒரு சங்கீதக் கலை உலகின் இங்கிதமான ஸங்கீதத்திற்கு எடுத்துக்காட்டான திரு KVN அவர்கள் நம் நினைவின் முன் வருவார்கள்.
மின் வலையில் நான் படித்த செய்தி
KVN was reverence personified when speaking of Ariyakudi, whom he called “Gurnathar”. In many interviews, he has spoken in a hushed awe about his Guru. It is a bit like Swami Vivekananda's relationship with Sri Ramakrishna. Once, when Swamiji was asked to speak about his master in America, with tears in his eyes he said that he could not do justice to the topic at all.

KVN spent time in Mysore with Ariyakudi, who was the guest of the Mysore Palace. This chronicler believes that was the time when Ariyakudi would sit on a swing in a veranda and enjoy the salubrious hospitality of the princely city. He would begin to compose the music for one of the songs in Andal Thiruppavai. KVN the scribe would write it down. And it would be finally polished into shape. Everyone follows the Ariyakudi tradition for singing Thiruppavai and you hear these lovely songs not only in concerts but also during the Margazhi season on AIR.
அரியக்குடி என்றால் திரு KVN, திரு KVN என்றால் அரியக்குடி என்று சொல்லும் அளவிற்கு குரு பக்தி நிறைந்தவர்
திரு K.V.நாராயண சுவாமி  வழியில் திரு ஹெம்மிகே H.V.ஸ்ரீவத்சன் அவர்கள்
திரு ஹெம்மிகே H.V.ஸ்ரீவத்சன் அடிச் சுவட்டில் ராம நாராயணன்.
மழலை ராம நாராயணனின் மதுரமான இசை
அரியக்குடி பாணியை இங்கே ரீங்காரம் செய்கிறது.

A Common Uncommon Therapy - Zero Therapy

The Experts say “Uncommon common sense is Zero Therapy.”
If so what is “Zero Therapy?”
Zero Therapy is a life style most near the natural life style.
It is a science beyond science.
It is for the world Scientists to find out 
“what Science is this?”
The liver and the brain communicate all the time online, being chemical factories 
(This is the reason alcohol simultaneously damages liver (liquid) and brain (smell)). 
This two communicate through chemicals.
Other organs communicate like electrical connections.
The cow brought up in a traditional life style never eats garlic.
However, over a period animals have changed their bodies and in turn working of the system. Ayurveda has brought in this as a medicine and for treating the so called disease but in fact it does not do anything good for emotional or spiritual health.
Even the use of tooth paste, soap, shampoo, or medicines is completely taboo in this form of therapy.

சொல்லிய வண்ணம் செய்ய ஒரு முயற்சி - இன்றைய சிந்தனை

சொல்லுதல் யார்க்கும் எளிய அரியவாம்
சொல்லிய வண்ணம் செயல்
And the top 10 tips to help us see our resolutions through are: 

1. One Thing At A Time: any of us make the mistake of trying to achieve too much instead of deciding on what is important to us and making just one resolution. 
The chance of success is greater when we channel our energy into changing a single aspect of our behavior at a time.
 

2. Plot Your Success:  Find a way of charting your achievements. Keep a journal, or cover your fridge or notice board with graphs or pictures. 

3. Try Something New: Repeating resolutions you have failed to keep before is a recipe for disappointment. Set a new goal, or approach an old aim in a new way. For example, instead of trying to lose a set amount of weight, vow to exercise more.  For example, instead of saying that you will go running on two days each week, decide you will run on Tuesdays and Thursdays straight after work. 

5. Set S.M.A.R.T Goals: Make sure your goals are Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Realistic and Time-based (SMART). For example, instead of simply saying you want to find a new job, come up with bite-sized goals for each week, such as rewriting your CV then applying for a job each week.  Map out small steps that will slowly but surely take you to where you want to be, write them down and stick to the plan. 

6. Carrot, Not Stick: We should motivate our self by focusing on the positive side, instead of beating our self up about our failings. Think how much better life will be for us, and those around us, when we achieve our aims. 

7. Go Public: Many of us prefer to keep our New Year's resolutions to ourselves. Unfortunately, this makes it all too easy to simply forget about them. Instead, go public. Write down your resolution on a large sheet of paper, sign it, and place it somewhere prominent in your home.  Tell your friends, family and workmates and ask them to support you. For example, if you want to lose weight, ask colleagues not to offer you biscuits with your tea. 

8. Be Persistent:  New habits take time to learn, and once in a while you will slip up and revert to the old you. Most of us give in to temptation occasionally, whether it is a cream cake or a crafty cigarette. 

9. Get Image Conscious: Visualize yourself doing whatever you need to do to achieve your resolution. Focusing on this image will help you believe in your ability to succeed. 

10. Be Positive: You will get better results from thinking about the good things that will come from your new lifestyle rather than the negative aspects of your old habits.

Yug Avathar Bagwaan


இந்தப் பாடலினைக் சமீபத்தில் கேட்ட பொழுது எனது எண்ண அலைகள் நாற்பது வருடங்கள் பின்சென்றது. விவித பாரதி ரேடியோ அலைவரிசையில் நான் மிகவும் ரசித்துக் கேட்டு அதனை ஒலி நாடாவில் பதிவு செய்து ரசித்து அனுபவித்த பாடல். 
அதன் ராக சாயலில் வடிவமைத்த சாயி நாமாவளி 
மிகவும் என்னைக் கவர்ந்தது.
