Re: Supreme Court Notice: Denial of ART by JJ Hospita lfor Non Maharashtrians

Dear Forum members,

Re: /message/9411

I think the ART centre nodal officer at JJH is trying to behave abnormally.

Many of my patients have denied 2nd line ART on the similar ground that those

patients were not her first line ART patients.

Overall my interview with several HIV patients attending ART centers in Bombay

have bitter experience and statement that the staff including medical doctor

are not at all patient friendly.

This is anticipated by me as I do not expect any courteous attitudes by public

sector staff.

I think NACO officials really need to, contact AIDS Society of India the

official body and take their help advise which may not be according to their

tune.

The shortage of testing kits and some time ARV drug component is invariably

seen. Is NACO committed to provide currently attending patients life long ARV ?

Invariably presence of opportunistic infections amongst patients attending ART

centers are missed with disastrous consequences

Sincerely,

Dr. J.K.Maniar, MD

Consultant in HIV Medicine,

Bombay.

Dear Forum,

Greetings from Sudha !

This ref. to Dr.J.K.Maniar's posting on Supreme Court Notice: Denial of ART by

JJ Hospita lfor Non Maharashtrians.

In every ART Centre across the country only some Medical officers and staff are

friendly with the patients. Most of the Doctors are not willing to be friendly

with the patients.

Because I dont know why they are treating like that, evern when they all are

aware about HIV/AIDS.

NACO,APSACS give trainings for Doctors those who are working on HIV/AIDS. But

till now they behave like same onld manner. Every Doctor should leave self

stigma.

Most of the patients suffer unfriendly Doctors and the environment they create

in the ART Centers than HIV.
