Guest guest Posted May 24, 2010 Report Share Posted May 24, 2010 Dear all, PPTCT is the main programme in NACP-III, and rightly so. Unless we assure that newborns are HIV free, it is impossible to eradicate HIV from this world. ART is to control and treat HIV infection, but prevention is the only measure to handle this epidemic; particularly when the epidemic has reached the third stage. Foetus/newborn of HIV affected woman is the important victim of third stage. Keeping this in mind, Naval Prakashan of Pune has recently published a novel titled 'Sanrakshita'. This novel has very subtly tackled the issue of PPTCT. The author of the novel himself being an Obstetrician and Gynaecologist working in the field of HIV/AIDS has given full justice to the contents of this novel. It touches the issues of PLHIV mother, counselling and medical management of HIV affected pregnant woman & management of newborn of such mothers. Therefore this novel should be read widely by general public, counsellors and even medical practitioners who are not practicing HIV or PPTCT. In fact every NGO should possess this book in their library. Name of Novel: Sanrakshita Publisher: Naval Prakashan, Pune Distribution: Dilipraj Prakashan, Pune Author: Dr. Nishikant Shrotri Language: Marathi Pages: 264 MRP of book Rs.260.00/- Nishikant Shrotri e-mail: <nishparna@...> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
