Treating the needy patients for just Re.1, Dr. in Burla, Odisha, Shankar Ramchandani now has started giving them medicines for rupee one

 

Last weekend there was more good news for the underprivileged people of Burla, Odisha, as Dr. Shankar Ramchandani who has been running his “One Rupee” clinic since last year, launched “One Rupee” medicine service. This service was started to mark the first anniversary of his initial initiative and under this, medicines will be given for just Re.1 to needy patients who visit him for consultation.

As a doctor Ramchandani has always gone beyond his call of duty to offer medical assistance to the needy and his “one rupee” clinic proves it.

Working as assistant professor in the Veer Surendra Sai Institute of Medical Sciences and Research (VIMSAR), Burla, Odisha, 38-year-old Ramchandani, started the clinic last year in which patients pay Re.1 for treatment. He was promoted as assistant professor and this entitled him to private practice after duty hours and so Ramchandani started this clinic in a rented house.

A team of Indian scientists has developed a new technology platform for fluorometric detection of SARS-CoV-2 (Covid-19) that is more reliable than the existing techniques, according to information provided by the Ministry of Science and Technology.  The technology platform detects viruses by measuring the fluorescent light that is emitted and can also be used to detect other DNA/RNA pathogens such as HIV, influenza, HCV, Zika, Ebola, bacteria, and other mutating pathogens. Scientists from Jawaharlal Nehru Centre for Advanced Scientific Research, an autonomous institute of the government, along with scientists from IISc (India Institute of Science), have demonstrated a noncanonical nucleic acid-based G-quadruplex (GQ) topology targeted reliable conformational polymorphism (GQ-RCP) platform to diagnose Covid-19 clinical samples. This work has been published recently in the journal ‘ACS Sensors’ and the team has also filed a patent for the novel technology. Read More
