“More number of students should take up research: Health and Medical Education Minister Dr.K.Sudhakar”
Every Government Hospital should provide quality health care service like Jayadeva Institute
A nation can move forward only through Innovation and Research.Universities should prioritise and encourage research activities,said Health and Medical Education Minister, Dr.K.Sudhakar.
Speaking after the inauguration of the newly installed Digital Learning Management System at Jayadeva Institute of Cardiovascular sciences and research,Minister said that there are many medical colleges,but we must focus on improving the quality of teaching and learning.
Oxford discovered vaccine for Covid-19.Our universities should also focus on research and development.
There are many students who wish to become doctors but there are only few who want to take up research.There is a need to change this situation,said Dr.K.Sudhakar.
PM Narendra Modi has taken initiative to set up AIIMS in every state.Our state government is committed to provide quality healthcare at district level across the state.
So we are establishing four new medical colleges.We have also started the Atal Bihari Medical College recently,he said.
Every district must have quality cardiac care facility.Jayadeva Institute has grown on par with any other corporate hospital.
Patients are getting excellent quality healthcare here.We must think why all government hospitals cannot provide same quality healthcare to people.
Every government hospital,every govt doctor must consider Jayadeva as a model and improve quality of service in the similarly, said the minister.
“Children’s vaccine”
DCGI has approved cov
axin for kids in the age group 2-18 years.This is a big relief to parents who are eagerly waiting to get the children vaccinated against Covid-19.
I will discuss with Union Health Minister and senior officials about its production and supply. It is a matter of pride that Indian company Zydus is developing world’s first DNA based vaccine.
I had the opportunity to meet Krishna Ella of Bharat Biotech last week who was also in Delhi to receive the India Today Award.
I was happy to know that Bharat Biotech’s nasal vaccine is in its final stage of development and nasal vaccine can further accelerate our vaccination drive as it doesn’t need trained healthcare personnel to administer vaccine.
It is estimated that there are about 1.5 crore kids in the age group 2-18 years.So we need about 3 crore doses to vaccinate kids in our state, Sudhakar said.
