(source: www.ibnlive.com Edited to relevance by: Cliff)
Many say A. Ramadoss, the Health Minister is destroying AIIMS. He neglects key areas like HIV AIDS, preferring to spend his energies on banning of smoking and restructuring AIIMS.
Here is a health check on the Health Minister:•
The polio cases, within limits spiraled out of control in 2006. The deadline for eradication has been pushed back to 2010 forcing the Government to pump in an extra Rs 10,000 crore pumped in.
• 2005 saw a fourfold increase in Japanese Encephalitis. Cases shot up from over 2000 to over 8000 in one year. The ministry's response was inadequate.
• India's been put on the AIDS world map and how the Latest UNAIDS report say India tops the world with 5.7 million AIDS cases.
AIDS NGO director Dr C Thangsing says, “The AIDS treatment services come in little bit too late. Work is bit slow and also it could have been better by involving a lot of non-governmental organizations.”
Criticism of the union health ministry has come in from the Government itself. Parliament's Standing Committee on health says the ministry is clearly to blame for some of its decisions.
For the first time the World Bank withheld funds for six projects after a major fraud was detected forcing the ministry to seek a CBI investigation.
Critics say Ramadoss needless focused on unnecessary issues like banning smoking in films. His predecessors are extremely critical of his tenure.
Former health minister C P Thakur says, “Performance of the present health ministry is not satisfactory in all the fields. Polio cases are on increasing in UP and Bihar.”
Be it the increasing number of AIDS cases, to his stand on the reservation issue, the Health Minister hasn't really endeared himself to the medical fraternity.
Now, his latest plot has been the sacking of Dr Venugopal. Instead of attacking various diseases and eradicating them, this man is after humans, that too people of the calibre of Dr Venugopal.
Hence the title is justified – The Health Minister A. Ramadoss Has To Be Kicked Off.
