Regd Medical Practitioners(RMPS) In Indian Villages

[Guest guest]

Dear Friends,

We dont have statistical information about incidence of HIV infection in Indian

villages.

However the as all of you are aware of HIV infection in villages are caused by

poverty,prostituion, ingnorance and many other causes. The Govt. alone has not

been able to provide health care to vast majority of villages. In most of the

Indian villages, Registered Medical Practioners (RMP) give IM,IV and first aid

to most of the patients. These RMPS are uneducated, and untrained to practice

medicine. However villagers have direct access to these individuals.

Therefore in the fight against spread of HIV infection in villages, training of

RMPs should be top priority. In order do that we need to understand their

attitude towards HIV disease.

Are there any studies done about attitude of paramedical towards HIV in India

and elsewhere? If anyone has such information I would be grateful to go thru

that.
