ECHS Issues..Maj Gen Satbir Singh's views on STENT

ECHS Issues..Maj Gen Satbir Singh's views on STENT
 *******************************************

Dear All,
 1 yes I had spoken to the AG this morning.I wish the construction and tech details of ingeniously produced stents should have been circulated in the environments for gen acceptability beforre introduction as part of approved procedure for ECHS.

Just imagine an ESM LYING ON anOperation table and Dr asks the patient or NOK INDIAN OR FOREIGN STENT? What should be the ans is not difficult to assess.Some super speciality Hospitals may not be using the Indian stents. 

Has MD ECHS confirmed from all empeneled hospitals and also from all non empeneled hospitals in the country where in an EMERGENCY an ESM needing stenting will be taken.If that hospital does not use Indian stent, WHO WILL PAY FOR THE DIFFERENCE IN COST? WHY ARE WE MAKING THINGS DIFFICULT FOR VATERAN Soldiers?

2 For Md echs--why don't you please brief the true picture about the empeneled hospitals in the country? Over 80 Percent of the empeneled hospitals have withdrawn from theECHS for delay:/non payments of their bills and also the LOW RATES OF ECHS.Please tell me even ONE HOSPITAL IN THE COUNTRY(SUPER SPECIALITY) which is ready to be empeneled at ECHS rates.

3 These are the matters affecting the life of ESM and decisions on such matters should be arrived at after due deleberations.Vested commercial intersts of a few individuals must not be allowed to prevail.

4 Please ALLOT SUFFICIENT FUNDS FOR ECHS AND RUN IT EFFICIENTLY.
 AS IT IS POOR QUALITY OF MEDICINES/NON AVAILABILITY OF ESSENTIAL MEDICINES IS CAUSING HARDSHIPS TO THE ESM.

Regards.

 Dear General Satbir,
 I believe you had a discussion with the AG on some ECHS issues.The AG had a word with MD who explained that indigenous stunts have been approved by Indian Council of Medical Association. These are safe and meet the medical requirement / standards besides being much cheaper as compared to imported stunts. The downward revision in the approved rates is due to this reason. The MD also explained that a patient can opt for imported stunts but will have the bear the difference in the cost. As regard the issue of empaneled hospitals in Mumbai, there was only one empaneled hospital - Hira Nandani who had opted out due to approved rates as applicable in CGHS being low and delayed payments. We also did not have any Regional Centre at Mumbai which was the responsibility of the Navy. The Regional Centre is now operational and they are shortlisting hospitals for empanelment. We are hopeful that the situation will improve shortly. Best Regards.

ESM sitrep 20 May evening...from Lt Gen Raj Kadyan.

ESM sitrep 20 May evening...from Lt Gen Raj Kadyan...
 *********************************************************************

Dear Colleagues,

At a dinner gathering some days ago, I got a chance to interact with a number of politicians from different political parties. The subject of OROP being uppermost in my mind, I naturally mentioned it. Some of the comments are noted here.

Mr Pratap Singh Bajwa, President of Punjab Congress Party, had a long chat with me on the subject. He promised all help. Mr Bhupender Singh Hooda, the Haryana CM, while supporting the demand also commented, “ab to aap logon ko bahut kuchh mil gaya.” He was obviously referring to the recent pension enhancement and I gave him my view that OROP is still far off. The most notable reaction came from Mr Sachin Pilot. Himself walking up to me, he enquired whether the OROP had been given. When I replied in the negative, he appeared genuinely dismayed.

We have to keep garnering support whenever and whatever opportunity comes our way.

VOTE POWER OF VETERANS by Gp Capt VK Gandhi ..IESM.



  1. VOTE POWER OF VETERANS by Gp Capt VK Gandhi ..IESM.
     **************************************************
     Dear Veterans

    Indians including Veterans have a strong desire to have a party which will give us good governance but for veterans it is more important to have a Govt which will give us our status including OROP along with good Governance.

    It will be a big mistake to assume that only congress party is capable of providing good Governance and all other parties are incapable to provide good Governance. While some people will quote Karnataka as a failed example for BJP, we must not forget Gujrat, MP, Bihar Tamilnadu, Punjab and West Bengal which are being ruled by parties other than congress and are definitely ahead of the states which are being ruled by Congress. Large population of India is looking at Karnataka as an example that a responsible party has preferred to sacrifice a Govt but did not bow down on its principle of NO CORRUPTION AND NO COMPROMISE WITH CLEAN GOVERNANCE.

    Veterans, it is time to wake up and oppose UPA and its anti people and anti Military policies. We must vote for parties which will promise to meet our demands within one month of coming to power. These parties should also include veterans demands in their manifesto and loudly announce in all election meetings during campaigning.

    If we vote for congress, it is almost certain that this will be a vote approving all the scams and these politicians will get more deep in ruining Indian resources to fill their pockets. Well veterans vote for congress at your own peril and forget about your welfare and OROP.

    Congress and UPA is anti veterans and anti people and is only for bureaucrats and politicians. UPA Govt in past has denied us our dues given by the pay commissions, opposed tooth and nail our demands in courts, did not implement even after loosing in court and when gave it under the court order (to avoid contempt of court) they have declared as if they have given us OROP. Whereas truth is that they have given us nothing and are nowhere close to OROP but they are claiming to be messiah of Military and veterans.

    IESM is writing to all Political parties including congress to make their stand clear on the demands of veterans and confirm this through their manifesto and their election meetings. IESM will meet all parties to discuss these issues and take a firm stand. IESM will make its choice at the appropriate time just before the election time and will advise veteran community. Veterans have the right to use their vote power as they deem fit.

    ALL VETERANS MUST REMEMBER YOUR VOTE IS VERY IMPORTANT AND IS A PERFECT WEAPON TO GET YOUR DEMANDS ACCEPTED FROM THIS POLITICO BUREAUCRAT UNION. USE YOUR VOTE TO YOUR ADVANTAGE AND FOR A CLEAN AND GOOD GOVERNMENT. INDIA IS OUR MOTHERLAND VETERANS HAD SAVED HER BORDERS WITH OUR BLOOD AND LIFE AND NOW IT IS OUR DUTY TO ENSURE WE HAND OVER POWER TO RIGHT PEOPLE TO RULE INDIA
