Cervical Cancer Prevention Awareness Meet at Medica

Cervical Cancer Prevention Awareness Meet at Medica

16 Jan, 2016
Cervical Cancer is one of the most common cancers in women, yet, unfortunately, awareness about this disease has remained abysmally low, particularly in India. Statistics show that India records a very high percentage of deaths in women diagnosed with cervical cancer, in spite of the fact that it is the only form of cancer that can be prevented with some precautions and regular cervical screening. Lack of awareness, not enough importance given to sexual education and a general disregard for women’s health that is still very much rampant in our society are some of the reasons that has led to this status. In the developed countries, a growing awareness and thrust towards regular screening programmes has greatly decreased mortality caused by cervical cancer.

Marking the National Cervical Health Awareness month, Medica organised a special programme with the intent of generating awareness on the importance regular Cervical Screening and HPV (Human Papiloma Virus) vaccination on 16th January, 2016. The highlight of the programme was a lively panel discussion by ladies from different walks of life who put forward their views on the subject.

Opening the session, our Gynaecologist Dr. Jayasish Chakrabarti, stressed on regular screenings for all women above 25. He also explained that abnormal results of the tests (pre-cancerous changes) were not uncommon but, it was important to note that this does not mean cancer. In majority of such cases the abnormality did not lead to cancer and rectified itself with time, but a small percentage needed treatment to prevent cancer in future.

Following Dr. Chakraborty’s presentation, our Gynaecologist Dr. Chandrima Dasgupta took the stage along with the august panel for the evening, which included Ms. Sonal Kundalia Mondal, Chairperson, State Chapter, All Ladies League, Social Activist Ms. Urmi Basu, Founder, New Light, well-known Singer Ms. Jayati Chakraborty, and renowned Dancer Ms. Debmitra Sengupta. Moderating the discussion, Dr. Dasgupta raised issues like – ‘Are we talking enough about women’s health?’, and ‘How aware is a woman about her own health?’ The panel also discussed other extremely relevant issues like sexual education, various taboos associated with a woman’s sexual health, importance of screening & vaccination and Government initiatives to promote awareness. The most touching moments were the very personal experiences shared by some of the members of the panel, that highlighted the great need for more awareness on this subject.

Latest Technical Advancements at MEDICA

Latest Technical Advancements at Medica

02 Dec, 2015

“Curing the sick and saving lives are the kind of inter–people activities that cannot be matched or measured by money or anything in kind” – Known for revolutionising healthcare services, Medica Superspecialty Hospital (MSH) has further strengthened its Cardiology and Cardiac Surgery services by acquiring the latest technological innovations from Medistim Devices.

Transmit Time Flow Measurement by Medistim is the latest and the most advanced technique in the field of cardiac surgery. It helps in determining the blood flow through the conduit – bypass channels (Artery/Vein) – used for Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting and is much more reliable than traditional methods like ECG, BP, etc.

Other technical innovations introduced at Medica that are set to revolutionise Cardiac treatment in the region:
• Endoscopic Vessel Harvesting (EVH): One of the latest and most advanced procedures for conduit harvesting in CABG. It requires a very small incision, and apart from the cosmetic benefits, the pain is much less as compared to the open technique. MSH is the only centre in Eastern India that performs EVH.
• Extra Corporeal Membrane Oxygenator (ECMO): A technique that provides cardiac and respiratory support to patients whose heart and lungs are unable to provide an adequate amount of gas exchange to sustain life. ECMO works by removing blood from the patient’s body and artificially removing the carbon dioxide and oxygenating red blood cells. Medica is the only center in Eastern India to have a dedicated ECMO machine with 24 hours support.
• Fractional Flow Reserve (FFR): a procedure that helps in accurate diagnosis of a heart block. It significantly reduces unnecessary stenting/revascularization and helps in optimizing the therapy for heart patients.

This information was shared with the media recently by the Cardiac team atMedica. Present during the occasion were Dr. Kunal Sarkar, Senior Vice Chairman and Head of Cardiac Surgery, Medica, Dr. Dilip Kumar, renowned Cardiologist &Sr Consultant at Medica, along with Mr. Prashant Narshima, Managing Director of RND International AG, India – the German brand behind Medistim. Also present were Mr. Roger Morberg and Ms. Anne Waaler from the Medistim Executive team.

Speaking on the occasion Dr. Sarkar said, “We keep upgrading our infrastructure, keeping in mind the needs of our patients. We always aim to provide high quality specialized treatment facilities and excellent clinical services at an affordable price. At Medica, we offer a one-stop solution for all healthcare needs. Our hospital is one of the very few healthcare providers in our country to use the highly advanced technological innovations developed by Medistim. Cardiac care at Medica has reached a new peak with the introduction of these devices that will enhance the treatment provided and its outcome.”

Medica Health Talk 2015

21 Nov, 2015
Health is an issue that touches all. All of us have heard the adage ‘Prevention is better than cure’, but how many of us are aware of our role in keeping ourselves healthy? Keeping this in mind Medica has started the series ‘Medica Health Talk’ where our Doctors/specialists address interested audiences on various issues related to health. The participants also get a chance to interact with the Doctors and put forth their queries. The first such session was held at the Hospital premises on 1st October and was dedicated to our Senior Citizens. Our Senior Doctors gave presentations to a packed house, on topics including ‘Know your heart’, ‘How to prevent stroke’, ‘Lifestyle & diabetes’, ‘Health of Kidneys’, ‘Urinary Incontinence’ and ‘Arthritis and other bone problems’.

The second session was held 21st November and included discourses by our Breast Specialist, Rheumatologist, Internal Medical Specialist, Emergency care and Physical Therapy. We plan to hold such interactive sessions at regular intervals to generate health awareness.

Senior Citizens’ Day at Medica

Senior Citizens’ Day at Medica

1st October was the ‘International Day for the Elderly’ and we at Medica had planned to make this day very special for them with a bouquet of activities and offers. Senior Citizens’ Day celebrations were held with grand success in our Conference Room last Thursday. We had organized a day full of interactive sessions with our Doctors. An hour each had been earmarked for the sessions, but the Doctors had to stretch their sessions much beyond the allotted time, unable to stem the flow of questions from our senior guests!

A health check-up package comprising ECG, Echo, Chest x-ray, Fasting Blood Sugar and Cholesterol was offered free, along with 3 OPD consultations (with 6-month validity period) to all the attendees. Free membership to our Senior Citizens’ Club was also offered. The response to the communication sent out through ads and sms was heart-warming, with more than 500 callers inquiring about the day’s activities.

293 Senior Citizens attended the sessions. We had placed the Senior Citizens’ Counselling Desk along with a table explaining our new initiative ‘Swasthya Mitra’ outside the conference room for the benefit of the new visitors.

Heartened with this overwhelming response to our initiative, we now plan to hold more such sessions, not just for the senior citizens but for people of all ages, at regular intervals, to connect better with the society and generate awareness.
