#Burns related death is one of the leading cause of #injury deaths, disability, deformity & social stigma. The absence of preventive measures in leading tertiary care #hospital in #Delhi reiterates casual approach & low prioritization of this issue. @jjagnoor80 @GeorgeInstIN

IMP #publichealth thread. Anti-rabies vaccines unavailable in a country that has the largest manufacturer in the world. ARVs get higher prices on export over being sold in India. Delhi has stock only for 2 months. Why is no one talking about this? #vaccines #rabies @MoHFW_INDIA

Everyone is worried whether or not Indian infants would get better 4-in-1 HIV drugs. Infants with HIV are less in number so ignored by big pharma companies. @Cipla_Global and Mylan making those drugs don’t reveal their plans. My story for @bsindia @DNDi @MSF

This seems to be driven by some politically ambitious IMA leaders, they have time to time, issued such Fatwas . There have been PHCs befor HWCs, which were not supported for years by them, rather created problems in rural posting of doctors. 1/n @AnantBhan
