#WATCH | Ahmedabad, Gujarat | National President of the Indian Medical Association (IMA), Dr Anilkumar J. Nayak says, "Yesterday, the Gujarat State branch of the IMA wrote a letter to Chief Minister Bhupendra Patel regarding the bond system for undergraduate and postgraduate medical students in Gujarat, a system requiring bonds worth Rs 20 lakh and Rs 40 lakh, respectively. This system has been in place for many years, dating back to a time when there were only five medical colleges and fewer than 1,000 medical admissions in the state. Today, Gujarat has more than 42 medical colleges and over 7,000 medical seats. There are not enough Primary Health Centres (PHCs) or Community Health Centres (CHCs) to accommodate all the students. Recently, 3,500 students applied to fulfil their rural service bond obligations, but only 1,400 could be provided jobs. This has created a problem for students, as the number of doctors has increased significantly. Since the government is already recruiting Medical Officers for PHCs through the GPSC and providing full-time government service opportunities, the bond requirement is no longer necessary. Students often have to wait six months or more for a single job opportunity to fulfil their bond obligations, effectively remaining unemployed for nearly a year after completing their MBBS. We have requested a change in this policy, noting that the Maharashtra government recently abolished its bond system due to similar circumstances. The government acknowledged that since it was unable to provide jobs to all bond candidates, the policy was no longer viable...Abolishing this policy is essential because the bond system creates a very difficult situation for students from middle-class and lower-middle-class backgrounds. To secure a bond worth Rs 20 lakh, one must declare property valued at Rs 50 lakh to obtain the certificate. Similarly, for a Rs 40 lakh bond, one must show assets worth Rs 1 crore—a requirement that is not feasible for everyone..."

#WATCH | Delhi: Ministry of Health and Family Welfare observes World Hepatitis Day. Union MoS Anupriya Patel releases IEC materials under the National Viral Hepatitis Control Programme.

She says, “This day alerts us to the dangers of this serious liver disease and reminds us that, in line with the Sustainable Development Goals, we must eradicate hepatitis from India by 2030. 8 years ago, the Government of India strengthened the fight against hepatitis by launching a national program. Today, every government health centre offers comprehensive facilities. Furthermore, the cost of medication has dropped significantly, falling below $1. While hepatitis exists in various forms, Hepatitis B and C are particularly known as silent killers…regarding Hepatitis B, I appeal to all healthcare workers and families to ensure we move towards 100% Hepatitis B screening for every pregnant mother in the country. Currently, we are screening only 65% ​​of pregnant mothers for Hepatitis B…unsafe injection practices are the primary cause of the spread of Hepatitis C. Hence, the Government of India advocates the ‘One Needle, One Time’ principle…facilities for both Hepatitis B screening and treatment are available at every government health centre. By taking just one tablet daily for a period of 12 weeks, you can be permanently cured of Hepatitis B…”

Excessive screen time and digital addiction are quietly affecting children's mental health, attention and overall wellbeing. Evidence shows that increased digital exposure is linked to anxiety, depression, poor sleep, aggression, loneliness, gaming disorders and in severe cases, suicidal behaviour.

To prevent this, let us encourage healthy screen habits and open conversations to help our young ones grow up balanced and resilient.
