Shahid Akhter, the editor, ETHealthworld, spoke to Irfan Bashir , co-author of the book ‘ Crowdfunding : The Story of People', to know more about the booming medical crowdfunding industry in India and how it is shaping healthcare in India. Irfan’s book is the first book to explore the social impact and potential of crowdfunding in India. How has Crowdfunding influenced and impacted Healthcare in India? The greatest need for crowdfunding manifests in the lives of millions of sick people, especially in developing countries. According to a 2018 study published in the British Medical Journal in India by the Public Health Foundation of India , out-of-pocket (OOP) healthcare expenses drove 38 million Indians into poverty in 2011-2012. Countless innocent lives that could otherwise be saved are lost because people can’t afford their treatments.

Video Player Close LANZHOU, March 2 (Xinhua) -- A research team led by Lanzhou University in northwest China has developed a high-performance energy module for implants that can biodegrade and be bioabsorbed in an animal body. The new supercapacitor is thin, lightweight and mechanically flexible, and can dissolve completely, eliminating the need for surgical removal, according to the joint research team from Lanzhou University and the University of Houston. The results of the team's research were published on the journal Science Advances. In experiments, the devices were implanted under the skin of rats, and then completely degraded, thus demonstrating the potential for further medical uses, said Lan Wei, head of the research group from the School of Physical Science and Technology, Lanzhou University. The lack of a proper implantable power source has posed challenges to the development of implantable medical electronics, such as pacemakers.

Ethics, empathy and spirituality were going down in the medical profession due to increased commercialisation, said V. Mohan, chairman, Dr. Mohan’s Diabetes Specialities Centre. Speaking after the launch of his autobiography titled Making Excellence A Habit , he said that the medical profession had lost the kind of respect that it once had. He said that more than talking about diabetes, he wanted to bring out in his book how ethics, empathy and spirituality could still be combined with medicine. Mohan Kameswaran, managing director, Madras ENT Research Foundation, said the message Dr. Mohan had not spelt out but conveyed in every page of the book was to not lose one’s humanity. “The conflict between his head and heart comes through in every chapter,” he said. “When we entered the profession, we never knew that we will be entering an industry,” he said. Venu Srinivasan, chairman, TVS Motor Company, who released the book, lauded Dr. Mohan for his hard work, deep knowledge and ... » Learn More about ‘Ethics, empathy and spirituality are going down in medical profession‘

The Supreme Court's ruling on narco-analysis, brain-mapping and polygraph tests is a setback to scientific investigation, Central Bureau of Investigation Director Ashwani Kumar said on Saturday. “According to us, it is a setback to forensic science and scientific investigation. We will respond after studying the judgment. The CBI has always taken the consent of the accused before conducting narco-analysis, brain-mapping and polygraph tests. Even after obtaining such consent, we seek the court's permission,” Mr. Kumar said, after inaugurating a workshop for journalists here. The agency respected the judgment and would follow it “in letter and in spirit,” he said. Such tests were always conducted by experts. (The Supreme Court recently ruled that the use of narco-analysis, brain-mapping and polygraph tests on accused, suspects and witnesses without their consent was unconstitutional and a violation of their right to privacy.) Mr. Kumar said the government had sanctioned 71 new ... » Learn More about Ruling on narco-analysis a setback to scientific investigation: CBI chief
