The applicants selected included a group of 35 medical and paramedical professionals and interested candidates, who wholehearted and keenly participated in the programme. The reason that Sri Aurobindo Society chose for this programme is that the NADA Protocol “can easily be used in any location where a group of people can sit together. It is most commonly used for addiction, behavioral health, disasters and emotional trauma. It is versatile, effective and economical.” Also, this therapy is growing and thriving because its members are committed to using acu-detox for wellness, healing pain and suffering of people living with addicti...

OPINION  :  Hooch Victims: Not Just Numbers! Prof. T K Thomas  12 Feb, 2019 at 13:59 PM Picture courtesy  Hooch tragedy death toll seems to have become just numbers! The coverage of the tragedy last week, that struck mourners from Saharanpur in Uttar Pradesh returning after a funeral in Uttarakhand was perfunctory and the death toll had risen to almost 100 when reports last came in. What is unusual about it? Don’t we have statistics of major death tolls in hooch tragedies? In the last decade it is reported that at least a thousand people perished drinking illicit liquor. It is as if such large number of deaths is a routine affair and these human lives seems to have no value and are considered just numbers. The loss of human life, one or hundred in rail, road or air accident; building collapse or fire; medical negligence or an epidemic, stampede or terror attack has to be viewed as loss of precious human lives. It does not matter whether the victims are mal...

With India having the largest number of   Tuberculosis  patients in the world, we definitely encounter high proportion of alcohol and drug users with TB (approx. 2 in 10 alcohol and drug users are diagnosed with TB). At present India does'nt have any screening mechanisms in place to identify asymptomatic TB patients at the drug and alcohol rehabilitation centres but data is collected on the basis of self reporting and screening of symptomatic patients. Any patient at the drug /alcohol rehabilitation centre showing symptoms of TB is referred for TB testing and if identified as TB positive these patients are sent for TB treatment but are never usually followed up or retained for alcohol de-addiction treatment. The patients are sent back home and don't continue their stay at the center potentially due to lack of infection control facilities at the rehabilitation centre. Even recently at the community conversation for NCD voices on Our Views, Our Voices" conducted by Nada ...
