The most expensive part of a hospital bill may never touch the hospital at all.

A patient admitted for care has no way of knowing whether the price on a medical consumable reflects its actual cost or a markup fixed long before it ever reached the ward. That gap in information is, at its core, a public health issue.

A survey of hospital consumables in Maharashtra found an IV infusion set with a trade price of ₹11.05 carrying a printed MRP of ₹325 ; a markup of 2,841%. A syringe procured at ₹6.75 carried an MRP of ₹57.20. A catheter procured at ₹29.41 carried an MRP of ₹310.

These are not elective purchases. Patients cannot compare prices, seek alternatives, or question a number printed on a box while receiving care and the MRP itself is often fixed upstream by manufacturers and distributors, disconnected from the trade price by a wide, unexplained margin. The result is a system where the party bearing the cost has the least information to evaluate it.

The regulatory gap is structural: scheduled medicines are capped under the Drugs (Prices Control) Order, 2013. Most medical devices and consumables are not leaving both the pricing and the information around it almost entirely unmonitored.

A review of these findings and clear guidelines on the permissible gap between trade procurement price and declared MRP have been recommended to the Department of Pharmaceuticals and the NPPA ; a step toward closing not just a pricing gap, but the information gap patients are left to bear alone.

Decoding the known is science. Exploring the unknown is spirituality.

[Gurudev Sri Sri Ravi Shankar @Gurudev]

The name “Krishna” signifies absolute attraction. To overcome the illusions of the material world, one must find something far more captivating to focus on. Krishna is that ultimate attraction at every stage of life: a mischievous companion for children, a talented friend for the youth, a valiant hero for the courageous, “Yogeshwar” for seekers, a master strategist for leaders, and the source of ultimate wisdom for elders.

INDIAN ENGINEER USES AI FOR POTHOLES 🇮🇳🔥

Bengaluru Engineer Gaurav Sen Built An AI System That Detects Potholes In 4 Seconds, Finds The Exact Contractor Responsible, And Files A Legal Complaint Automatically.

A Single Test Drive Exposed 12 Potholes And Instantly Named The Guilty Officers.

This Is The Civic Tech Revolution We Need. The Government Must Adopt This Automation Immediately To Hold Corrupt Contractors Accountable. No More Excuses, Fix Our Roads.

These Things Need to be Shared Widely. Such Great Work.

When Traffic Challans can be Issued by using AI cameras, why can't Potholes be Found & Rectified Automatically? Needs to become Viral.

Share Widely.

Kudos to Gaurav !!!

A safe food is where public health begins, not in hospitals.

Prevention at the kitchen door costs far less than treatment at the hospital bed.

The outcomes of enforcement go beyond public health. A society where food businesses meet a genuine food standard is a society with fewer preventable illnesses, more consumer trust, and a stronger food economy .overall Health and economic outcomes rise together when food safety is taken seriously.

Well done, Arjun. ❤️
Proud of the way you’ve carried yourself through this season, always believing in your ability, staying patient, working hard quietly, and remaining positive despite having to wait for your opportunity till the very last match.
Cricket tests patience as much as skill, and you handled both beautifully today.

Keep your feet on the ground, and continue being in love with the game like you always have.

Love you always.👏

It is with great humility that I accepted the FAO Agricola Medal at a ceremony in the FAO Headquarters in Rome. My gratitude to the FAO.

I dedicate this honour to India’s Annadatas…our food providers. It is a recognition of the hard work of our farmers, those associated with the world of livestock and fisheries, our agriculture scientists and innovators. It is also an acknowledgement of India’s unwavering commitment to human welfare, food security and sustainable development.

This is totally false.

Not an iota of truth in this.

There is no question of putting such restrictions on foreign travel.
