Four private hospitals offer discounts for the elderly
TNN | Aug 7, 2012, 02.19AM IST


THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: A group of private hospitals, in a move to ensure better care for senior citizens, have decided to offer them discount in the treatment expenses. As per the talks the managements of four leading private hospitals had with the Senior Citizens Friends Welfare Association, it has been decided to offer 10-15% cut in treatment cost for the senior citizens of the state.

Kerala Institute of Medical Science (KIMS) in Anayara, Sree Uthradom Tirunal hospital in Pattom, Cosmopolitan Hospital in Pottakuzhi and SK Hospital in Pangode are the four hospitals which have signed an agreement with the association. "This will be a big solace for the senior citizens, especially for those who are finding it hard to meet the expenses. The agreement is that the senior citizens coming with the identity card of the association will be given the discount," said state secretary of the association Amaravila Ramakrishnan Nair.

The association is now engaged in talks with the private hospital managements in Ernakulam and Kozhikode also. "We had one round of talk with the hospitals there. The initial responses are positive and we hope that we can sign an agreement with them soon," said senior vice president of the association R Rajan.

Apart from this the association also held talks with some self-financing medical college managements to implement the system there too.

The association has also submitted a memorandum to the state government seeking special geriatric wards in all government hospitals in the state. "We have demanded wards for the senior citizens in those hospitals where there is an inpatient facility. At present the government has committed to set up geriatric wards in all taluk hospitals, which is not sufficient," said the association leaders.

48 elderly pilgrims get free ride to Badrinath - The Times of India



48 elderly pilgrims get free ride to Badrinath

Darshan Kunwar | Sep 25, 2014, 10.39 PM IST


Dehradun: A fortnight after he announced that elderly pilgrims would get a free ride to the Char Dham shrines, chief minister Harish Rawat flagged off two buses with 48 pilgrims bound for Badrinath from the Beejapur guest house.

The free pilgrimage is being organised under the 'Mere Bujurag Mere Teerath' (My elderly, my pilgrimage) scheme of the state tourism department. The programme is also part of the state's attempts to boost religious tourism.

Rawat said his government had decided to send a total of 2,600 devotees aged above 60 years on pilgrimage this yatra season. About 200 pilgrims would be chosen for this from each of the state's 13 districts. The chief minister said that in the next season of the yatra, over 25,000 elderly devotees from different districts in Garhwal and Kumaon divisions would undertake the Char Dham yatra, which begins in May each year.

"This will aid elderly couples who want to undertake the yatra, but cannot, for lack of money," Rawat said.

"We are extremely thankful to the Harish Rawat government for making this free and sacred trip possible for us," said 75-year-old Kunwar Singh Negi from Dehradun, who had set off in the bus on Thursday with his wife.

Govt to Distribute Dentures to BPL Senior Citizens from Nov - The New Indian Express

Govt to Distribute Dentures to BPL Senior Citizens from Nov
By Shyam Sundar Vattam Published: 06th September 2014 



BANGALORE: Senior citizens belonging to Below Poverty Line (BPL) families have much reason to cheer with the state government deciding to distribute free dentures to them from this November.

The free denture initiative, adding more ambulances for 108 emergency service and opening generic medical centres are some of the promises made by the government in its budget for 2014-15.

Although no specific amount has been reserved in the budget, the Health Department claims that it has adequate funds to spend on the scheme.

"I have seen elderly people who find it difficult to eat food as they don't have teeth. They just swallow food without chewing. Hence, I came out with the idea of distributing free dentures to the poor. The government is ready to provide good quality dentures to senior citizens," said Health and Family Welfare Minister U T Khader.

 He said there are over 40 private colleges and one government dental college in the state. Special camps would be held in villages to identify people in need of dentures and then bring them to the nearest dental college/hospital to take impression of their dentures.

The government would fix a minimum rate at which dentures should be delivered and there would be no cap on beneficiaries.

The minister said the state government would come out with an Oral Health Policy within the next month to give special impetus to the much-neglected dental health. A committee, headed by Dr Ganesh Shenoy, has been constituted to work out the policy. Already, two to three rounds of meetings have been held and the policy would be finalised soon after Dasara, he added.

As many as 69 posts of dentists are vacant in government hospitals. In some hospitals, there are doctors, but no dental chairs and in some places there are denta
​​
l chairs san dentists.

The government is ready to take dentists on contract basis, but doctors are not coming forward to work in government hospitals. Despite shortage, the government is committed to posting dentists to at least district hospitals, added a senior official of the Health Department.
