Andhra Pradesh launches Family Doctor Programme

[ad_1]
Amaravati: Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister Y. S. Jagan Mohan Reddy on Thursday formally launched the Family Doctor Programme aimed at taking the healthcare to the doorstep of the people.
Under the programme, qualified doctors in 10,032 Dr YSR Village Health Clinics would extend preventive healthcare to the needy across the state.
Launching the programme at Lingamguntla in Palnadu district, the Chief Minister told a public meeting that the programme would herald revolutionary changes in extending healthcare to the needy.

Just like the pensions are handed over at the households, the healthcare facilities would be extended to the people at their doorstep, he said.
Besides visiting the bed-ridden people and treating them, family doctors would extend free medical treatment to people suffering from both communicable and non-communicable diseases and to lactating mothers and anaemic school children and women, he said.
They would refer the patients in need of advanced medical treatment to Aarogyasri Network Hospitals while YSR Health Clinics would extend post-treatment health care to such patients.
He claimed that the government has brought about revolutionary changes in healthcare as it highly values the lives of people. With one Primary Health Centre (PHC) serving every 2500 people, the programme would soon turn the State into a role model for other states in preventive healthcare, he said.
Each mandal would consist of two PHCs while each PHC would comprise two doctors with one of them taking care of the out-patients and the other visiting YSR Health Clinics in assigned villages, schools and anganwadi centres twice a month, he said, adding they would identify people suffering from BP, sugar and anaemic conditions and provide them treatment in the initial stages preventing serious heart and other diseases among them.

YSR Village Health Clinics, to be manned by Community Health Officers (CHOs), ANMs (Auxiliary Nurse and Midwives) and ASHA (Accredited Social Health Assistant) workers, would be equipped with 105 kinds of medicines, lab facilities to conduct 14 kinds of diagnostic tests andA 936 Mobile Medical Units (104).
The phone numbers and other details of the doctors would be displayed at the Village Secretariats which would maintain health records and ensure that the medical services would be available round the clock, he said, appealing to the medical staff to stay in the villages where they are employed and serve the people 24×7.
Asking the people to assess the good deeds of the government, he called upon them to become the soldiers of the YSRCP and teach a fitting lesson to the political wolves who are coming together for electoral gains.
The Chief Minister asked the people to see the difference between the TDP and YSRCP rules in health, educational and other sectors.
Elaborating further that the medical procedures under the YSR Aarogyasri went up to 3,255 from 1,000 in TDP rule which avoided payment of Rs 800 crore to hospitals, he said the government has been spending over Rs 18,000 crore every year on medical and health sector against the meagre Rs 8,000 crore spent during the TDP rule.
While the number of network hospitals under YSR Aarogyasri went up to 2261 from 914 in TDP rule, 3,57,1596 people were benefitted under the scheme in the last 45 months, he said, adding that the government has so far spent Rs 9000 crores under Aarogyasri and Rs. 990 crores under Aarogya Aasara alone making it an average of Rs 3300 crore annually.
The government has so far created 48,639 jobs in medical and health field alone filling up 100 per cent vacancies of lab technicians, general physicians and staff nurses and 96.31 per cent vacancies of specialist doctors besides constructing 17 new medical colleges and keeping stocks of 562 sorts of WHO standard medicines in government hospitals.
Making it clear that he does not know the political gimmicks of TDP which followed the policy of plunder, stash and devour and which only worked for the scams, he said that people are his only strength and he is working with the blessings of people and God.
Jagan Mohan Reddy said that while the TDP chief and his foster son are forging alliances for electoral gains with the support of “friendly media”, he is only depending on his alliance with the people.
He said the government has so far distributed to the people Rs 2,05,108 crore under various welfare schemes bringing happiness at every doorstep across the state.

Telangana: Mana Nagaram programme will resume soon, says KTR

[ad_1]
Hyderabad: State minister of municipal administration and urban development KT Rama Rao (KTR) said here on Monday that Mana Nagaram, a town hall meeting programme, will soon begin in the city.
KTR stated that the meetings will be held with one of the key topics up for discussion during the meeting. The Construction and Demolition (C&D) factories put up at Fathullaguda and Jeedtimetla, each with a capacity of 500 metric tonnes, were particularly requested by the minister. Several building construction goods were being made from the trash.
According to Telangana Today, the C&D facilities’ capacity was not being used to its full potential, and at several major construction sites, garbage was being dumped along the sides of the highways. He told the builders that all it would take was one phone call to arrange for the removal of all the waste from the sites and transportation to the plants.

“In addition to these two plants, four more plants are being set up. They are being established to keep the city clean and ensure effective recycling of the waste” Rama Rao said.
“Possibilities should be explored to use tiles made out of C&D waste for a cool roof programme by adding some additional components. It could be a perfect solution,” he added.

Bill to reform H-1B and L-1 visa programme introduced in US Senate

[ad_1]
Washington: A group of influential lawmakers have introduced a bipartisan legislation in the US Senate to comprehensively overhaul the H-1B and L-1 visa programmes and usher in more transparency in the recruitment of foreign workers.
The H-1B visa is a non-immigrant visa that allows US companies to employ foreign workers in speciality occupations that require theoretical or technical expertise.
Technology companies depend on it to hire tens of thousands of employees each year from countries like India and China.
The L-1 is the other type of work visa the US issues to professionals looking to work in the country.
Unlike the H-1B, where an individual is looking to join an American company, the L-1 visa is issued to those who are already employed by the company in another country, and who are merely relocating to an American office.
Two influential Senators — Dick Durbin and Chuck Grassley — have introduced this legislation in the US Senate.
The co-sponsors include Senators Tommy Tuberville, Bernie Sanders, Sherrod Brown, and Richard Blumenthal.
The H-1B and L-1 Visa Reform Act will reduce fraud and abuse in the immigration system, provide protections for American workers and visa holders, and require more transparency in the recruitment of foreign workers, a media release said on Tuesday.
The legislation proposes to place new wage, recruitment and attestation requirements on employers looking to hire L-1 and H-1B workers, and employers seeking to hire H-1B employees to post those jobs on the Department of Labour (DOL) website, it said.

It also proposes to give DOL the authority to place a fee on labour condition applications and use it to hire an additional 200 DOL employees and make reforms to the H-1B programme by prioritising the H-1B visa issuance for workers with higher levels of education in STEM and amending the definition of a “specialty occupation” to require a bachelor’s degree or higher, according to the release.
The legislation seeks reforms to the L-1 nonimmigrant programme, including new time limits and evidentiary requirements for petitions from a “new office” and mandating cooperation from the Department of State in verifying foreign affiliates.
“For years, outsourcing companies have used legal loopholes to displace qualified American workers and replace them with foreign workers who are paid sub-par wages and put under exploitative working conditions,” Democratic Party Senator Durbin said.
“These actions hurt all workers and make our country less attractive to the world’s top talent. Our legislation would fix these broken programs, protect workers, and put an end to these abuses,” he explained.
The H-1B and L-1 visa programmes were established to fill in gaps in America’s high-skilled workforce, not supplant it, Grassley, a Republican, said.
“Unfortunately, some companies have exploited these programmes to replace American workers with cheaper labour, which ultimately harms American workers and foreign labour alike. Our bill puts American workers first and ensures that the programmes promote fairness for all workers,” he said.
Durbin and Grassley, long-time advocates for H-1B and L-1 visa reform, first introduced the legislation in 2007.
Authors of this legislation said the H-1B and L-1 Visa Reform Act would stop these abuses by closing loopholes in these programmes.
The legislation will also crackdown on companies that hire large numbers of H-1B and L-1 workers to displace American workers and facilitate the outsourcing of American jobs, the media release added.
Thousands of highly skilled foreign-born workers, including Indians, in the US, have lost their jobs due to the series of recent layoffs at companies like Google, Microsoft and Amazon.
According to The Washington Post, nearly 200,000 IT workers have been laid off since November last year.
Industry insiders say that between 30 to 40 per cent of them are Indian IT professionals, a significant number of whom are on H-1B and L1 visas.

Modi surname row: BJP to seek Rahul’s apology during OBC outreach programme

New Delhi: The BJP has decided that the party, during its new outreach programme at village chaupals across the country, will seek an apology from Congress leader Rahul Gandhi for “insulting OBCs”.
