‘Jeevan JyotiRashtriyaAbhiyan’ and ‘Jan Suraksha Abhiyan’ now have expanded to the Majestic Meghalaya!
Meghalaya became the latest State to join over 12 States where The INDUSEMAbhiyanshave been initiated. The need for such a program was badly felt by the doctors and the common men in this hilly state where people have to deal with a tough terrain and harsh living conditions. Disasters witnessed by people in Himachal are somewhat different from the other parts of the country which include cloudbursts and landslides during monsoons, blocked roads due to excessive snowfall and winter fires, road accidents, vehicles falling into gorges from where it is very difficult to extricate people. Most of the Himachal falls under the seismic zone and has a danger of earthquakes. The training provided under this Abhiyan enables common men to provide immediate emergency medical care and life support before the help arrives.
Under the banner of INDUSEM, the ‘Jeevan JyotiAbhiyan’ and ‘Jan Suraksha Abhiyan’ reached Himachal Hills lead by the INDUSEM Faculty Leaders from AIIMS New Delhi who trained more than 25O participants including doctors, nurses, medical and nursing students, retired army persons, Tibetan health workers from Dharamshala, volunteers from Chinmaya organization for rural development, college students & government school students.
Dr. Ahangar Director of the North Eastern Indira Gandhi Regional Institute of Health and Medical Sciences (NEIGRIHMS) inaugurated the program with a mission to reach the end user sitting in the villages.
Ms. Nirmal Thakur who leads the Abhiyans informed the gathering that Jeevan JyotiRashtriyaAbhiyan’and ‘Jan Suraksha Abhiyan’ are programs that are ‘Made in India, by the Indians and for the Indians living in any corner of the country’.
To expand this Abhiyan to the rest of the state of Meghalaya and North Eastern India multiple instructors were also trained at NEIGRIHMS under the leadership of INDUSEM Champion Dr. MD Yunus who is actively involved in expansion of emergency medicine in Meghalaya.
His Excellency The Governor of Meghalaya Shri. V. Shanmuganathan met with INDUSEM CEO Dr. SagarGalwankaralong with NEIGRIHMS Faculty and discussed various initiatives for bettering Emergency Health Care in Meghalaya and the North East. CEO Galwankar also presented the Governor with the INDUSEM Philatelic Cover issued by India Post in Commemoration of INDUSEM’s National Building Movement of over a decade.
The ‘Jeevan JyotiRashtriyaAbhiyan’ and ‘Jan Suraksha Abhiyan’ will soon be carried over as a mission to the rest of the state involving more and more of health care personnel and the other key stake holders like college students, police personnel, army personnel, NGOs and even the lay public. In the coming days, people of Himachal will gain a lot from this made in India Abhiyan……
