Re: Urgent Action Needed on Community Care Centres

[Guest guest]

Dear members,

Re: /message/7990

This is in continuation of the email exchanges and the issues raised by Ashok

Rau and Sanghamitra. I fully agree that the issues raised are very pertinent and

needs to be reexamined without any bias. As organizations implementing C & S in

Karnataka, we have the right to know the background of the evaluators and their

competence.

We also need to be fully involved in this process of evaluation and it should

not have been the one-sided process that it was. In fact, many of us were not

even aware that we were evaluated. Irrespective of what category that our

centers have been placed at, NACO and SACS have a responsiblity to the patients

and should clarify all the issues raised.

Thanks,

Dear Forum Members,

This is a response to all the mails what I have been going through past 3 years.

I feel unnescarily individuals and organizations are trying to brand

HIV/AIDS as one and only the major issue in our country which will result more

stigma for HIV infected and affected.

It is high time that we should be willing to accept that HIV as equal as any

other terminal illness,kindly remember all other terminal illness

had same or even impact during its begining. Humble request to all of u once

again to stop branding HIV which will result reduction productivity in all the

aspect.

Thanks & Regards

Dear FORUM,

I absolutely agree with Joshy Basil as to why are we unnecessarily

both individuals and organizations trying to brand HIV/AIDS as one

and only the major issue in our country which will result more

stigma for HIV infected and affected.

I have served for about 7years in the field or HIV/AIDS as

Scientist and infact beginned my career with HIV/AIDS as a field

and always felt that HIV/AIDS is a major issue but now when I look

back after working in other fields that there are many other equally

important issues which are affecting our growth.

Crore's of Rupees are spent on the HIV/AIDS and on ARV treatment to prolong

their lives…

I am not saying that we should not help but at the same time

want to put light on the other issues which are equally important

and need attention for the betterment of the society and country in

general.

I just want to ask everyone as what are we doing about other equally serious

issues like unemployment, poverty, drop out students, child labor and street

children, harassment etc. NGOs are in every field and working for the cause but

it that enough?

Government is trying but is that enough. I guess government should

work much harder towards this…specially vigilance over the

corruption which is another aspect of hampered growth and finally

what are we as a citizen? Are we aware of the rights and

responsibilities?

I think if every month if we visit one nearest NGO and ask for information, we

will one the ways t we will know the about the other issues and rights and

responsibilities.

Thank you
