RIMS belies trust
Imphal, February 18 : The tall claims of those in authority to make RIMS at par with AIMS sounds hollow if one takes cognizance of the non-functional ultrasound machine and absence of separate Gynae Operation Theatre in Obstetrics and Gynaecology Ward have been causing severe inconvenience to patients.
Speaking at a discussion programme on child health held in the complex of Women and Child Development ashram at Changangei Uchekon today, Associate Professor of RIMS Dr S Randhoni disclosed that ultrasound machine of the Obstetrics and Gynaecology Department has not been functioning for the last 5/6 years.
Observing that non-functional ultrasound machine has been causing immense inconvenience to patients admitted in RIMS, Dr Randhoni said that patients are compelled to go outside the institute to take ultrasound which is essential in most cases of child delivery and related medical examinations.
Besides the financial burden faced by poor patients, taking ultrasound outside RIMS causes great hardships at times of emergency, she noted.
Another major problem faced by patients is the absence of a separate OT for the Obstetrics and Gynaecology Department.
With the general OT occupied most of the time for emergency cases like bullet/bomb injuries, the OT was not available when situation demands surgical operation for child delivery, she said.
Unavailability of OT in such situations put both the mother and child at great risks.
To redress these problems, the department has repeatedly approached the RIMS authority to make the ultrasound machine functional and also to open a separate OT for the department, Dr Randhoni said.
Informing that around 1000 children are born in the hospital in a month on the average, she said that 30 percent of these child delivery cases need operation.
The discussion programme held under the aegis of the Manipur State Commission for Women was also participated by MSCW Chairperson Dr Ch Jamini, former Director of Family Welfare Dr Th Biren, Additional Director dr H Ibemhal, Joint Director Dr Y Ibechoubi and Imphal East District Welfare officer Dr Momota Mukherjee.
Dr Y Ibechoubi said that only 60 percent of children can be immunised in Manipur.
She noted the importance of giving health awareness to the people so that women and children can enjoy all health care facilities.
Dr Jamini said that necessary recommendations would be forwarded to the relevant authority to redress the problems plaguing Obstetrics and Gynaecology department of RIMS.

Meet focuses on care for new born
Imphal, Jan 11 : If your new born child is to be protected from any possible infection, don't bathe the baby soon after it was born but allow to be breast-fed by the mother.
This is the advice that president of Indian Academy of Paediatrics (IAP), Manipur State Branch Dr H Ibemhal Devi has given to all the mothers.
Interacting with The Sangai Express on the occasion of the 12th Manipur Paediatrics' Conference held at the mini auditorium of RIMS here today, Dr Ibemhal disclosed that normally in Manipur when a child is not delivered at home with the help of a Maibi instead of in health institutions, the new born baby is given bath soon after it was born and allow to be suckled by another lactating mother.
Such practices may expose the child to various infections in life.
The annual conference of the Paediatricians, titled XII MANIPEDICON was held under the theme of 'Community Newborn Care: A Priority'.
In connection with the theme, Dr Ibemhal explained that soon after a child was born, it should be wiped clean with the help of a dry cloth and then allow it to lie in close skin-contact with the mother so as the maintained the body temperature of the newly born child.
Only a trained personnel should be allowed to assist in the delivery and in case of premature birth at home, the child should be immediately taken to a hospital.
According to report, out of 26 million children born in India every year, around 1.2 million died within first month of birth and in Manipur out of every 1000 children born, 30 of them died before completing one year.
The main reason for this child mortality has been attributed to low rate of admission for child deliver cases in the health institutions and lack of knowledge on care for new born babies at the community level.
The situation is all the more alarming in case of Manipur where only 46 percent of child delivery cases in health institutions including regional hospitals, State hospitals, district hospitals, community health centres, primary health centres and primary health sub-centres have been recorded in accordance to National Family Health Survey-III.
Dr Ibemhal further disclosed that the mortality rate of new born babies from Hypothermia, Hypoglycemia, hyperbilirubinaemia, infection, etc in rural areas of Manipur is very high due to delivery of the child by untrained personnel.
It is to spread the knowledge among th community on the necessary health care measures to be taken up during child delivery that this year's conference as chosen the theme of 'Community Newborn Care: A Priority', she added.
The inaugural function of the conference had been attended by Director of Health Services Dr W Motilal Singh as chief guest, Dr Ibemhal as president and Director of Family Welfare Dr Sh Raghumani Sharma and president of IAP East Zone Dr Th Nabachandra as guests of honour.
Apart from talks delivered by many resource persons, a souvenir and a newsletter have been released at the occasion.
