Don't let the animals lose the fight against summer

    The recent death of a few animals in my locality  due to severe dehydration has moved me to tears, and I urge people to have a heart and respond.      The relevance of stray dogs in the food chain and our communities is a matter of never-ending debate among pro and anti-canine speakers. Keeping that argument aside, if evolution and the laws of nature have permitted the birth of puppies to a stray bitch, it is inhuman on our part to deprive the animal of its right to thrive on this earth. A recent ruling from the Delhi High Court penalizing the act of killing stray dogs is commendable. It portrays the humanitarian angle adopted by the legal system after analysing the importance of dogs in our ecosystem. You need not always have to do or commit something to kill someone.

Public Health Surveillance - a dynamic tool

Alexander Langmuir, expert in public health surveillance and intelligence     Alexander Langmuir, the man behind epidemiologic intelligence, gave a crystal clear definition of surveillance as it applies to public health.

Hardwork pays off

Years 2016 and 2017 have proved to be the turning points in my life. Chronologically, I cleared my MD exam in Nov 2016, worked in the State Institute of Health and Family Welfare, Bangalore for 6 months and then came the bumper draw. I cleared the Short Service Commission interview. This was my fifth stint at the selection but the joy of clearing the interview and physical examination is certainly long-lasting. Today, I'm a Medical Officer in the world's second largest army and ninth largest employer, the Indian Army. I got commissioned to the rank of Captain on July 12, 2017. You never know what life has in store for you. Keep believing in yourself and work hard. You deserve the best.
