Prevention is better than cure but most doctors stay in their clinic/hospital and work on just cure.
Preventive tests are way for early detection but not prevention. Confused?
Thomas Edison stated “The doctor of the future will give no medicine, but will interest her or his patients in the care of the human frame, in a proper diet, and in the cause and prevention of disease.”
Lets give a try on Corona Prevention –
Washing hands with soap is a good prevention. Still corona is happening.
Before washing hands, we open the tap with dirty hands and then after washing hands… we again touch the tap to close it.
At that time we again make our hands dirty.
If we use elbow to operate the tap and then wash our hands. Will it not be good?
Either we can do so with our existing taps or have our tap design changed.
Elbow Taps are specifically designed to operate with elbow.
You may see Elbow tap in operation theatre… where doctors use it to wash their hands.
The cost of Elbow operated Tap is less than the Doctor consultation.
The site clearly mentions this “Salon owners and hair stylists are noticing an increasing number of women are getting shorter cuts, a request, they say, that is a response to the crisis.“

This video converted from ppt showcased in Green Week at IIT Delhi held on 22nd Aug 2015. Please share.
The video talks on Malnutrition problems and its cause. It says – For the first six months, the child should feed only on mother’s milk.
Working mothers find it difficult. Maternity leaves differ between Central Govt employees and Private Company Employees.
Central Govt Employees
Private Company Employee
Entitled to Six months paid maternity leaves.
Entitled to 12 weeks paid maternity Leaves.
So, working mothers in private companies get less than six months maternity leaves. Thus, the child of working mother in private companies becomes malnutrition.
So, what may be the proposed solution for the working mothers in private companies?
Solution A : Raise Public Interest Litigationin High court/Supreme court and get amendments in existing Maternity Benefit Act, 1961. Private company employees should be entitled upto six months paid/unpaid whatever.
Solution B: A doctor can issue a letter to working mom for her employer to grant six months leaves. Most companies HR policies accepts doctor’s letter for granting leaves.
Solution C: Raise the matter in HR department in your company. Few companies HR policies have amendments to give six months maternity leaves to their employee. Refer this <Link>.
These proposed solutions are based on the best understanding. Let us know your thoughts. Your feedback may solve the malnutrition problem in India.
