Centre writes to states and UTs over Covid preparedness; here's what it has asked

The health ministry asked them to ensure Pressure Swing Adsorption (PSA) oxygen generating plants are kept fully functional and regular mock drills are conducted to check them.

With some countries witnessing a surge in Covid cases, the Centre on Saturday urged states and union territories to ensure the availability of Liquid Medical Oxygen, adequate inventory of cylinders and functional life support equipment such as ventilators at hospitals to face any challenge.
The health ministry asked them to ensure Pressure Swing Adsorption (PSA) oxygen generating plants are kept fully functional and regular mock drills are conducted to check them.
In a letter to all states and UTs, Health Ministry Additional Secretary Manohar Agnani said the operationalisation and maintenance of these medical infrastructure is of utmost importance to meet any eventuality even though the number of cases in the country is low now.
He said medical oxygen is an important and vital resource in all clinical settings, particularly during pandemic management and that reliable oxygen supply is critical for saving lives during patient care and COVID-19 management.&nbsp;

SC directs Centre, states to file responses on plea seeking directions for uniform healthcare standard

Plea on uniform healthcare standard: SC directs Centre, states to file responses

The plea also sought directions from the top court for a uniform standard of healthcare for citizens in line with the Clinical Establishments Act, 2010

&nbsp;The Supreme Court Friday directed the Centre and the states to file their responses on a plea seeking directions for a uniform standard of healthcare for citizens in line with the Constitution by adopting provisions of the Clinical Establishments Act, 2010.
A bench of Justices B R Gavai and Vikram Nath granted four weeks to the Union of India and the state governments to file their replies.
The top court was hearing a plea filed by Jan Swasthya Abhiyan, Patients' Rights Campaign and K M Gopakumar which had also sought directions for operationalising all the provisions of the Act, as well as Clinical Establishment Rules, 2012 in order to ensure affordable and quality healthcare.

The plea had sought directions for notification and implementation of the conditions for registration of clinical establishments such as observance of minimum standards, display of rates for procedures and services, compliance with the standard treatment protocol, as provided in Sections 11 and 12 of the CEA read with Rule 9 of the Rules, 2012.
The petition had also sought directions that a grievance redressal mechanism be created for the patients at the district, state and national level national level till the lacunae in the CEA are filled by a suitable legislation.
The PIL said the duty to provide healthcare to citizens was put on the government under Article 47 of the Constitution; however, the public healthcare system did not proceed as conceived and treats only 30 per cent of the patients, while the rest are treated by the private sector.
The petition contended that the public healthcare system suffers from a lack of public health infrastructure and human resources, non-availability of medicines, lack of public investment and forced dependency on the private sector.
The plea had submitted that there is an urgent need to develop the public healthcare system in India by providing proper infrastructure and sufficient budget to ensure that the maximum facilities exist in the public domain, not only in normal times but also at the time of emergencies such as Covid-19.

Covid cases are doubling in India, when compared to data being reported a week ago. A comparison of new cases reported last week and this week shows a clear spike, raising fears of a fourth wave of infections.
On April 10, India reported 1,054 new Covid cases, recorded over a span of 24 hours. On April 18, the number stood at 2,183 - an increase of 107%.
At the provincial level, cases are rising steadily in the national capital of Delhi, and neighbouring states of Uttar Pradesh and Haryana.
Between April 4 and 10, Delhi recorded 943 new infections. In the following week, i.e. 11 to 17 April, Delhi saw 2,307 new cases - an increase of 144%. This is as per a Times Of India analysis.

Many places, including Delhi, removed penalty on not wearing face masks. However, with cases rising once again, it might be time to impose curbs before the spike turns into another wave.

India is among the few countries in the world which is charging its citizens for the Covid jab, not just that, reports indicate the cost of vaccines being administered by private hospitals in India, is the most expensive when compared globally.
According to a Times of India report, the cost of vaccines in the private sector has increased six-fold. Private hospitals are now charging between ₹1,250-1,500 for Covaxin and ₹700-900 for Covishield. As per the CoWIN website, the major share of inoculation in the private sector is being done by four big corporates:&nbsp;Apollo, Max, Fortis and Manipal.
Initially, the Centre was procuring both jabs at ₹150 each and distributing them to states and private hospitals. The new vaccine policy opening up jabs to free market pricing, is creating an inequity, as sale of vaccines to private players at a higher cost is more beneficial for the vaccine makers.
BharatBiotech is charging ₹1,200 per dose of Covaxin for private hospitals while Serum Insititue of India has capped the price at ₹600. Both the figures are double the amount quoted for the state governments.
States and smaller hospitals are now struggling with procurement of the jabs. Experts say that even within the private sector, it is just a small section of&nbsp;corporate hospitals which are being favoured, and the new vaccine policy is going to make universal vaccination more difficult.

China amassed 60,000 troops on India border: Pompeo

China has amassed 60,000 troops on India's northern border, US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo has said, slamming&nbsp;Beijing for its "bad behaviour"

China has amassed 60,000 troops on India's northern border, US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo has said. Pompeo also hit out at Beijing for its "bad behaviour" and the threats it poses to the Quad countries. "The Indians are seeing 60,000 Chinese soldiers on their northern border,&rdquo; Pompeo told The Guy Benson Show in an interview on Friday after his return from Tokyo wherein he attended the second Quad ministerial with his counterparts from India, Japan and Australia.

Washington, PTI: China has amassed 60,000 troops on India's northern border, US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo has said as he hit out at Beijing for its "bad behaviour" and the threats it poses to the Quad countries.
The foreign ministers from the Indo-Pacific nations known as the Quad group - the US, Japan, India and Australia - met in Tokyo on Tuesday in what was their first in-person talks since the coronavirus pandemic began.
The meeting took place in the backdrop of China's aggressive military behaviour in the Indo-Pacific, South China Sea and along the Line of Actual Control (LAC) in eastern Ladakh.
"The Indians are seeing 60,000 Chinese soldiers on their northern border,&rdquo; Pompeo told The Guy Benson Show in an interview on Friday after his return from Tokyo wherein he attended the second Quad ministerial with his counterparts from India, Japan and Australia.
"I was with my foreign minister counterparts from India, Australia, and Japan &ndash; a format that we call the Quad, four big democracies, four powerful economies, four nations, each of whom has real risk associated with the threats imposed &ndash; attempting to be imposed by the Chinese Communist Party. And they see it in their home countries too," he said.
Pompeo met External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar in Tokyo on Tuesday and they underscored the need to work together to advance, peace, prosperity and security in the Indo-Pacific and around the globe. He described his meeting with Jaishankar as "productive." "They see, the people of their (Quad) nations understanding that we all slept on this for too long. For decades, the West allowed the Chinese Communist Party to walk all over us. The previous administration bent a knee, too often allowed China to steal our intellectual properties and the millions of jobs that came along with it. They see that in their country too," he said in the interview.
In another interview with Larry O&rsquo;Connor, Pompeo said in his meetings with his counterparts from Japan, India and Australia, they began to develop a set of understandings and policies that can jointly take these countries to work to present a true resistance to the threats that the Chinese Communist Party poses to each of these nations.
"They absolutely need the United States to be their ally and partner in this fight," he said.
"But they&rsquo;ve all seen it, whether it&rsquo;s the Indians, who are actually having a physical confrontation with the Chinese up in the Himalayas in the northeastern part of India, the Chinese have now begun to amass huge forces against India in the north," he said.
India and China are locked in a bitter border standoff in eastern Ladakh since early May that has significantly strained the bilateral ties.

PM condemns tractor burning at India Gate over farm bills

A day after Punjab Youth Congress workers set a tractor on fire near India Gate in the heart of Delhi during protests against the farm bills, PM Modi on Tuesday said, those opposing farm laws are insulting farmers.
