Mysuru,?Jan 3: Prime Minister Narendra Modi has said that knowledge and information are the new ammunition in the new age and India’s sages had realised this thousands of years ago.

Inaugurating the centenary celebrations of the late seer of Suttur mutt Shivaratri Rajendra Swami at Maharaja’s College grounds here on Saturday, the prime minister said that one cannot run a nation with just money and military power.

“The world understands that knowledge is power and it has been accorded utmost importance in India since ages. Now, technology is so advanced that innovations are surpassing our dreams and imagination. But, can we expect miracles in the field of knowledge and information? That is why seers and pontiffs are establishing seats of higher education. The spiritual and religious institutions are actually doing what the governments should be doing. They are helping ease the government’s burden,” he said.

Recalling the unveiling of a statue of social reformer Basaveshwara in London recently, Modi said that he was happy to be associated with the legacy of the great reformer by visiting the Suttur mutt, which is a major centre for prorogating Basaveshwara’s principles. “Today, we are talking about democracy, social equality and women’s empowerment, but Basaveshwara not only preached them, he practised them some 900 years ago. Whenever society was treading a wrong path due to degeneration of values, our saints have emerged as reformers and have saved society,” he said.

Describing Mahatma Gandhi as a saint, Modi said that the saints emerged as leaders in the 20th century and stepped out to reform society through education and social movements. “Even the 1857 uprising was influenced by spiritual leaders, while it was taken to a logical end in 1947, again by a saint,” he said. Earlier, the prime minister inaugurated a new building of Sri Ganapathy Sachchidananda Hospital on the premises of Sri Avadhoota Datta Peetha.

Bengaluru, Jul 2: Karnataka government has issued a show-cause notice to 18 private hospitals for refusing to admit a 52-year-old patient with influenza-like illness (ILI) symptoms, who later died.

According to the notice dated on June 30, a 52-years patient named Bhawarlal Sujani died after he was denied admission by 18 private hospitals.

The patient was taken to these hospitals on Saturday and Sunday for admission on observing some ILI like symptoms. But none of these hospitals admitted in on the pretext of unavailability of bed/ventilators, read the notice.

This is a clear violation of providing medical assistance and admission necessitated under the agreed provision of KPME Registration. They should strictly adhere to the provisions under Sections 11 & 11 A of KPME Act 2017. Private Medical Establishments cannot deny/ refuse/ avoid treatment to patients with Covid-19 and Covid-19 like symptoms, the state Health Department said.

By denying the admission to the deceased patient, your hospitals have violated the provisions of the above-said act. You are liable for legal action in this regard, as per the notice.

The state Health department asked the hospitals to reply as to why action should not be initiated under the relevant Acts.

Bengaluru, Aug 7: Amid the rising number of COVID-19 cases in Karnataka, the state's health department issued fresh guidelines for the disposal of bodies of COVID patients.

"Although an increased risk of COVID infection from a dead body to health workers or family members who follow standard precautions while handling the body is unlikely, the lack of scientific data requires the utmost care to avoid the inadvertent spread of COVID-19 during these times," the statement from the health department's press release read, emphasising on the dignity of the dead and the religious and cultural tradition.

The 23-page press release elaborated on guidelines regarding testing, handling of dead bodies and other specificities in relation to the management of COVID-19 bodies.

"Testing should not be insisted in every case of death, but only when they have a recorded history of influenza-like symptoms. The body should be handed over to the family members/ relatives in a dignified manner immediately after swab collection and hospitals should provide handouts with a list of dos and don'ts in English and Kannada laying down relevant information," the statement said.

It added, "At the mortuary, health care workers, mortuary staff and the family of the deceased body shall not come in direct contact with the dead body and must wear full personal protective equipment (PPE). If the family or relative are for any reason unable to cremate or bury the body, the local health authority shall arrange for the dignified last rites as per the religious traditions of the family."

Regarding autopsies (post mortem) on COVID-19 bodies, the state department said that they should be avoided, except in necessary circumstances.

The statement also gave detailed guidelines regarding the appropriate recording of COVID-19 deaths in line with the Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR) guidelines.

Additionally, the health department made a statement about the admission procedure for COVID positive patients referred by other district administrations saying, "It is now mandatory for all the referrals from the BBMP admission and discharge of COVID positive patients to be done through the online COVID Hospital Bed Management System (CHBMS)."

The state's count of coronavirus cases was 1,51,449 in the past 24 hours.

So far, a total of 2,804 people have died due to COVID-19 in the state, while the average recovery rate in Karnataka is 49.3 per cent.
