Managing a Crisis: Communication in Outbreaks and pandemics Dr. Supriya Bezbaruah

On the 4^th of February, 2015, a lecture in Managing a crisis in Health emergences and communication in such times was held for the MBA-HHM and B.Sc B.M.T students of SIHS at Ambedkar Bhavan.

This session was conducted by Dr. Supriya Bezbaruah who is a Project Manager, South-East Asia Region, Pandemic Influenza Preparedness (PIP) Framework Partnership and Communications Officer, Communicable Diseases Department at the World Health Organization Regional Office For South-East Asia (WHO-SEARO).

Madam started the lecture with a game of Chinese whispers to demonstrate how warped a message can get when not communicated correctly. As a health provider you may think your message is perfectly clear but there is a high possibility of it getting distorted due to people’s listening skills, perception &  interpretation, hence it is important to know your audience, especially when it involves risk communication in outbreak of a disease for prevention and control. Sustainability in risk communication is something that should be done.

Madam also touched upon the current scenario of outbreaks, the latest in the news being the Zika virus. Prior to this it was H1N1, SARS in South Africa and, closer to home, dengue. She shared her experience saying that the first step in any outbreak is ensuring the healthy stay healthy and the sick do not get any sicker. An example of an Ebola survivor was stated, about when he had no trace of the virus in his blood he was taken to Delhi for further testing and traces were found in his urine. Seeing this and not being sure about the course of action he was quarantined.

She continued her session talking about the “sensitive side” of an epidemic. As educated people familiar with the sciences of the situation we accept precautionary measures. But for people who do not know the gravity of the situation, it can be a very confusing and frightening experience. Political sensitivity is also of utmost importance when dealing with politicians and the media. During a scare, people often react without thinking and that escalates matters.

This is where communication comes in. For example, in an immunization schedule, if it is properly communicated to people, the acceptance rate will be higher.

Madam continued to talk about some of the proactive communication being used today, about how with the world being a global village, communication channels have changed and the major economic impact most epidemics have on a community, citing examples of SARS and Ebola.    

Madam concluded her lecture citing “Lessons learnt from the past”. These included points she found from dealing with various outbreaks and how she learnt to look at situations differently.

Madam concluded saying – humans are emotional, hence, when dealing with such situations it in important to not only think with your head but also with your heart. We need to hear less and listen more.

All in all, it was a very insightful lecture and the students of both faculties went back with a new ideas of importance of correct communication system during an out-break of a disease. 

Interdisciplinary Seminar on Health Economics

On the 28^th of February, an Interdisciplinary Seminar on Health Economics was scheduled for the MBA-HHM 2015-17 batch at the SIHS Auditorium.

This was followed by our 5 guest speakers for the day:

NO.	GUEST SPEAKER	TOPIC
1	Dr. Jyoti Chandiramani	Introduction to Health Care Economics

Introduction to Health Care Economics, an Overview – Dr. Jyoti Chandiramani

The session started with Dr. Jyoti Chandiramani talking about the basics   of Economics and its relation to the healthcare sector. Ma’am is the Director of Symbiosis School of Economics and the Dean of the faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences in SIU.

Madam’s lecture focussed on the fact that the demand for healthcare greatly outweighs the current supply. This is due to the ever increasing birth rate and reducing death rate not only in India as a country but worldwide. Health care economics is a social system that studies the supply and demand of health care resources and the effect of health care services on a population and helps us change the systems according to this evolving trend.

Some of the other points covered during the lecture were the difference between Microeconomics and Macroeconomics, the social sectors involvement in the same and how the Human Development Index (HDI) – which was first put forward by Nobel Laureate Prof Dr. Amartya Sen and Mr. Mahboob Ul Haq, an economist – has drastically shifted its trend.

\She ended by talking about the Millennium Development Goals and their targets and how with a 1.54% p.a rise in the sector achieving these goals may soon be possible. The session was then open for questions from the students. Madam’s lecture gave us a bird’s eye view of what the economic scenario is currently and where we feature in the same.

Session 2:

Private Equity in Health Care – Dr. Abhijit Deshpande

The second speaker was Dr. Abhijeet Deshpande who holds a Ph.D in Management and Diploma in Marketing from the UK. Prior to being the Director of the Board of University Development, sir headed the MBA-HHM department at SIHS.

Sir’s lecture was very relevant to our current programme and he included points about marketing as well. In brief, he discussed the BCG matrix, Product mix and the importance of considering the Length, Breadth and Depth of any product before it is launched. He also shed light on terms like Cash cow, market decline, etc.

Sir then moved on to talk about private equity being a part ownership of any sector and how capitalization has a huge impact on the same. He discussed various business models and spoke about Mutual fund investors and venture capitalists. An example of the same was given – EYEQ, which is an ophthalmic care facility providing quality eye care at affordable prices to patients in small towns across India.

The lecture was concluded with sir taking in brief about the capital market and the shares available. “Due to the significant growth in subsectors and the volume decline between the years 2012 and 2013 the future looks promising” was Dr. Deshpande’s expert opinion.

As a final note, sir encouraged us to focus heavily on finance during these 2 years as according to him it is the crux of any industry. His advice and pointers gave us all the resolve to do more than just what is expected of us.

Session 3:

Pattern of Morbidities & Cost of Healthcare of Urban Elderly – Dr. Anjali Radkar

Dr. Anjali Radkar from Gokhale Institute was able to deliver a lecture very relevant to our course as she herself had done the study on Morbidity patterns and healthcare expenditure for the same in the Urban Elderly. She holds a Ph.D in Population Studies from the International Institute of Population Sciences and is the Associate Professor at the Gokhale Institute of Politics and Economics.

Ma’am spoke very passionately about the study she had conducted and gave us all inputs regarding how to go about conducting similar programs. Ma’am spoke in detail about the steps involved in conducting a study of this magnitude and shared her experiences with us – both the positives and the issues she faced during the course of the study. She explained the importance of which sample population is to be taken and how to go about comparing results.

Ma’am also spoke about the ICPD in Cairo, 1994 and how expenditure is allotted to the healthcare sector. She spoke at length about the Maternal Mortality Rates, Perinatal Mortality Rates and the impact of the same on the community. She shed light upon how of migration of younger worker population from the rural areas to the urban areas and their subsequent stay in urban slums changes the dynamic of the respective cities and hence affects the country as a whole.

On the whole, Madam’s lecture was a first person’s view on what to expect when conducting a study and it was very insightful for all of us planning to take up similar projects in the near future.

Session 4:

Effects of Health Insurance on Health Economics – Dr. B. S. Powdwal

Dr. B.S. Podwal is the Vice President and Head of Enterprise Fraud Prevention Unit at Bajaj Allianz Life Insurance. Additionally and very impressively sir is also an IASSC Certified Lean Six Sigma Black Belt.

Sir provided a look into the insurance scenario globally and in India. He provided a comparative look between the methods used in developed nations, undeveloped nations and currently developing nations. Sir spoke in length about the Medicare and Medicaid Health Services. He shared his opinion on the same.

According to sir, the NHS had a huge role to play in the declining economy of the USA as it not only has to pay the 401K on retirement but also takes responsibility for paying unemployment welfare. In a country like the US it manages to stay afloat but a similar plan wouldn’t work in a country like India which has a huge population and limited funds.  However, sir did stress on the importance of Health insurance and stated that it should be mandatory for every citizen. In a position such as ours, the best bet would be to look at group insurance.

The global economic scenario is completely interlinked and hence any change in the economy of any country will impact the others in some way or another. An example would be the recent recession in the USA which, although far away, still led to a drop in the value of the Indian Rupee.

Sir ended on a positive note, giving examples of Telemedicine and robotic surgery and said that this would probably be instrumental in providing the required care to needy sectors and fill in the gap of required professionals in various areas.

Session 5:

Health Care Economics, Indian Scenario – Mr. Vishal Amolik

The final speaker for the day was Mr. Vishal Amolik. He was very keen to share his experience and present his views on the Indian Public sectors role in Healthcare Economics. Sir has an M.A in Economics and is an assistant Professor at MU College of Commerce. He is currently pursuing his Ph.D in Business Economics.

The lecture started with sir talking about the importance of the “3 A’s” of Healthcare – Availability, Accessibility and Affordability. He shared the current government initiatives being undertaken to provide the same. He explained in detail the government’s current role in the industry and their progress.

Sir then moved on to a topic of great controversy – “Public v/s Private Debate in the Health care Sector”. He stated the importance of health for all and shared his views on why healthcare is the industry to look at for the maximum growth within the next few years.

He ended by saying that it is time that the ever growing need for healthcare should be met. He then provided solutions and ideas for a Public – Private partnership in healthcare provision.

The final vote of thanks was delivered by Brig. Dr. Anil Pandit which was short and sweet and the perfect conclusion to this insightful session.

GUEST LECTURE ON UNIVERSAL HEALTH COVERAGE

Mr.Keshav Desairaju, through his years of experience was able to deliver an impactful lecture on “UNIVERSAL HEALTH CARE”.

Sir brought to light some of the significant challenges that our healthcare system is facing which includes an active immunization rate of 61% and the declining number of healthcare professionals in the rural parts of India. Although Ayurveda has its roots in India, it is still considered inferior to allopathy. He stated that maternal and childcare are indicators of a civilized society. Some of the Indian states, including Kerela, Tamil Nadu and Maharashtra, have attained the sustainable development goal.

Healthcare providers, although generated in large volumes of data in India, have not been able to extend their skills and knowledge to the rural parts of the nation. This is mainly because most providers do not find rendering their services to the underprivileged rural India would be profitable to them in any way. Public Healthcare is a function of the state, however public funding is not enough to provide adequate facilities which are why a public - private partnership is encouraged. On the other hand if private funding is to be brought to the public sector, how is it going to make any profit. Healthcare cannot be addressed solely as a hospital or a public health issue but a holistic approach to universal healthcare is the need of the hour. But first issues in regards to unequal incomes and lack of accessibility need to be dealt with. The Indian Government has started public insurance schemes like the “Rashtriya Swasthya Bima Yojna” and developed the concept of ASHA in the rural areas, both of which have been contributing tremendously to improving healthcare opportunities in India.

The session was then open for questions where issues concerning the health of women were further discussed.

All in all it was a very insightful session that opened our eyes to the current prevailing conditions in the country.

GENDER SENSITIZATION LECTURE by Ms. Renuka Mukadam

Ms Renuka Mukadam, an avid speaker on Gender  related issues began with sharing the importance of the session on Gender Sensitization. The Sexual Harassment at Workplace Act passed in December, 2013 includes conduction of such sensitization and awareness sessions.

The UGC decided to look at how the colleges were dealing with various struggles related to gender such as gender bias, etc. The report ‘Saksham’ was developed and it depicted that approximately 42% of students were females in every college and that is why such sessions are important. These are for both females and males, hence, are not gender restricted.

Next we discussed the difference between equality and equity. Equality pertains to equal rights in equal circumstances whereas, equity is equal rights posing special conditions.

This followed by an interesting film about standard stereotypes in our day to day lives like boys should not cry or girls should dress in feminine ways only, etc.

Then she explained the difference between sex and gender. Sex is biological identity of a person while Gender is socio-cultural identity. Gender is constructed by a process called ‘socialisation’. It is the conditioning of a person defined as a process of different upbringing of boys and girls. Efforts are being put to change these stereotypes. One such example is - women cab drivers, although it does not ensure safety of female passengers, it is bringing changes and is a step towards discrimination against women with regards to profession.

She then emphasized on the wrong notions portrayed by the media such as when a girl says ‘no’ to romance it means ‘yes’. This is one of the reasons for bad acceptance of rejection by boys, leading to stalking, acid attacks, etc.

Another video was shown enacting what girls and boys are made to realise since the day they are born such as the colours they should dress in, responsibilities, attitude, etc.

This was followed by a discussion on patriarchal and matriarchal society. India is predominantly a patriarchal society implying that power and its dynamics are given to men. She talked about sexuality which is not just sexual behaviour but also includes thoughts and attitude.

She explained the meaning of sexual harassment. An overview of Sexual Harassment Act, 2013 was explained and the case of Bhavri Devi was discussed which lead to the ‘Vishakha Guidelines’. It applies to harassment of women at workplaces, it also includes educational institutes.

It involves ‘quid pro quo’ which means demanding favours in return of something else, physical contact, showing pornography, making sexually coloured remarks. It is different from flirting in many aspects like touch, stare, etc. This followed by another video regarding sexual harassment and the varying opinions of boys and girls about eve teasing. It was an informative video urging females to take stand and complain. The helpline no. 103 was shown as well.

She further explained as to what should be done to lodge a case to the Internal Complaints Committee (ICC). A written complaint is lodged within 3 months. During the period of enquiry, certain reliefs are given to the victim such as leave during the period. She stressed that ICC information should be displayed in the campus.

The session was followed by a question-answer session. Ms. Renuka finished with a beautiful quote

“Men of Quality respect Women’s Equality”

“Leadership Development Series” 2015 - GUEST LECTURE BY MR ASEEM GARG

The much awaited and inspiring “Leadership Development Series 2015 ” had begun in Symbiosis Institute of Health Sciences. Our    esteemed   guest of the day , Mr Aseem  Garg ,marked the beginning of this series. Mr Aseem Garg, CEO and founder of DCDC is an alumni of IIM , Bangalore. He is a successful entrepreneur   , a visionary and a dynamic leader.

                                                                      

The venue of the lecture was at Vishwabhawan   Auditoruim.  A hall was filled with enthusiastic, ambitious students   waiting   for the inspiring sessions. The programme   began with our HOD , Col Dr Vijay Deshpande giving his thoughts on vision driven leadership. He defined vision in as simple words as “the answer   to  where  do you see yourself in future”. He emphasized on the fact that it is very important to know where   we want to reach. His short talk was very powerful and gave us an insight on what the further session would be on.

                                         

Next we had our placement head Ms    Devika   Shetty   introducing our esteemed guest and inviting him to the Dias. The much humble and smiling   , Mr   Aseem   Garg  addressed us on entrepreneurship. In simple words it refers to taking up an idea, developing a concept around it and starting a business. It is the journey to unknown. Inspite of belonging to a business background, Mr Aseem resisted all the pressure to join the family business. His zeal to do something different landed him in engineering and then an MBA in IIM  , Bangalore. The passion in him prevented him from taking up a high paying bank job which most of his peers would have preferred. He had already developed a business plan. Though he was not very sure of the journey, his destination was decided. He wanted to start a chain of dialysis centers   which was by then a very new concept   in India. In spite of all the discouragement he received from his peers, he still believed in his idea. As   rightly said   “where    there is a will, there is a way”. He managed to get a job at National Kidney Foundation, which was by then nurturing a chain of dialysis centers. After that there was no looking back for him. Hard work, determination and the zeal to achieve has made him reach the position he rightly and proudly holds now. His brainchild DCDC , now successful 68 centers and is venturing with pace to its 100^th one.    

                                                    

The lesson of life that Mr   Aseem   Garg   shared had so much to learn from. He made us realize that   not everything in the universe can be controlled by us. Life is not only to those who are gifted.  He explained it beautifully by giving example of Karana and Arjun from Mahabharata. As rightly explained by him “life is a race, some ahead of us and some behind us .All we need to do is catching up with the guy ahead of us and making sure that we are ahead of the people behind us. He made us realize how important it is to have a vision .If we have a vision and the passion to fulfill it, no one can stop us from achieving it. The session ended with Ms Devika Shetty’s   quote “Be the change you wish to see in the world”.

On the whole it was a very enriching and inspiring session. At the end of the session we were all motivated to realize our passion in life . We never know what we are capable of as long as we try. Success only comes to those who dared   to dream. The future is uncertain, but it is full of hopes and opportunities. As Paulo Coelho rightly said “When you really want something in life  , the entire universe will help you in conspiring it”

And this indeed was true for Mr Aseem Garg

LEADERSHIP DEVELOPMENT SERIES 2015

THE VALUE OF VACCINATION

                                     

Mary Oliver once said, “What is it that you plan on doing with your wild and precious life?” Dr. Mathuram Santhosham is  the most appropriate person to answer this question since his long list of credentials spoke volumes about his dedication to immunization and child health. 

Sir started off with a brief introduction about the importance of vaccination and its power to prevent the suffering of a child. He suggested the use of vaccines over antibiotics since vaccines have the potential to not only save lives but also the family at large.

Dr. Santosham kept the enthusiastic minds captivated by describing the journey of vaccinology, right from variolation during the Ming Dynasty to the discovery of the smallpox vaccine by Edward Jenner and the progress that immunization has made over the years. 

While various social benefits – which included herd protection, strengthening of the health system and reduction of health inequalities – were further discussed by him in detail, the risks it could possibly pose to health were also described. Sir also shared some insights on the negative hype over the effects of vaccinations which led to their discontinuation.

Dr. Santosham believes that healthy children of today will lead to healthy adults tomorrow and this will ensure a healthy future for our country. He explained that vaccinations, however, are a double edged sword. There are 3 sides to them, the GOOD – Disease prevention, the BAD – Adverse reactions and the UGLY –Controversies arising from it. These controversies need to be dealt with in a rational manner as the benefits of vaccination greatly outweigh the risks. 

In spite of the humungous advances in the field of medicines and the development vaccinations, today, 1.5 million children die every year from vaccine preventable diseases. This number is almost equivalent to 8 jumbo jets crashing per day. He left the audience with this thought urging them to think of the future of the same in our country and encouraging them to make a sincere effort to work for equal immunization privileges for children all over the country.

 Ms. Patham gave an overview on how to build up the professional Excellence as a tool in today’s contemporary society. She spoke about the Human Response Development as a tool for enhancing the potential.

She conducted an activity wherein she made all the delegates realize that all have the same anatomy but all are different because of their skill sets and the quality in them. The best paradigm that she quoted was of Dr. S.B.Mujumdar who is a successful professional in academics as he started this University from a scratch by valuing his Visions.

Basically, professionalism depends on attitude; believe in oneself and converting the belief in reality. The professional excellence and the personal excellence is an excellent amalgamation of the two as they both help in establishing a human in the society. One thing to ponder and remember is that the personal excellence will transform into professional excellence.

 Mr. Venkatesh Iyer is the MD & CEO of GOLI VADA PAV Pvt. Ltd. with an 18 year of work experience in Corporate Finance. He introduced the audience to the notion of “Dream to destiny”. He explained that the word enthusiasm is made from two words i.e. ‘enthu’ meaning you and ‘siasm’ meaning God. It means invoke and inspire the god in you and the success is yours. He inspired the audience and told them that if you don’t use your potential it will evaporate. He went on to explain how universe conspires to help each and every one of us to achieve our dream and that the same has been evident through all the great books and the great sayings. He told that the story of the world is written in one language and i.e. Courage.

He further went on explaining how the idea of Goli Vada Pav Pvt. Ltd was incorporated and how he moved ahead with lots of challenges to face. The idea which came as a passion was that ‘Indian people will have Indian food’ but the opportunities and economics are to be handled with the brain. It was the thought and conception that Burger and Vada Pav are just twin brothers and just as the burger being handy and convenient the vada pav will also sell with same level of convenience in regards to the changing lifestyle of growing India. He told that entrepreneurs never vote for the form of the product they go for the content and which here was just what every Indian would like potatoes, wheat and besan

Dr. B. V. Krishnamurthy introduced his topic by raising various questions concerning quality in health care organizations (HCOs), such as “Are Quality Management Services (QMS) important for HCOs?”, “What is accreditation?” and “Is there a role for hospital administrators in health care accreditation?”

Dr. Krishnamurthy ended the session with a positive message about quality measures leading to patient satisfaction and sustainable organizational growth by teamwork and a supportive work culture in implementing QMS in health care organizations.
