CHENNAI:It is a matter of great pride that Tamil Nadu has 70% child deliveries in government hospitals as opposed to other States, like Kerala where the number is 30%,” said the Minister of Health and Family Welfare, Dr C Vijaya Baskar on Wednesday while inaugurating the 175th year celebrations of the Institute of Obstetrics & Gynaecology (IOG) at the Women and Children Hospital in Egmore.
The Minister also inaugurated the Video Colposcopy, Fertility Centre, Radio Frequency Identification and Breast Clinic at the hospital. In his speech, he emphasised the late Chief Minister, J Jayalalithaa’s ideal to make Tamil Nadu’s healthcare on par with developed nations.
He added that a sum of Rs 2.5 crore was being allotted for CT scan, I2 crore for fire safety equipment and I2.8 crore for cobalt treatment in addition to the inception of a fellowship course in urology. Further, he said the human milk banks would be extended to 15 district headquarters hospitals at the cost of I1.5 crore.
“Amma (J Jayalalithaa) would always ask us not to compare ourselves with neighbouring States but rather to compare ourselves to the developed nations and IOG is a world-class institution,” he said. “I have great respect for Obstetricians, Gynaecologists, Paediatricians and anestheticians because it is a profession that requires one to be dedicated and alert 24×7.”
A number of doctors were felicitated in addition to patients speaking of their fulfilling experience in the hospital. Further, staff nurses, admin staff, hospital workers, sanitary workers, lab technicians and a host of other people were recognised for their work. Some of those who were born at the hospital and had ‘made it big’ were also felicitated.
“I am very happy to see that there is an artificial insemination facility here,” said the Health Secretary, Dr J Radhakrishnan. “I only urge the doctors to treat patients with concern and care. Apart from this doctors must look at contributing towards research.”
