The most loved TV Talk Show, “Ek Mulaqat Shilpa Bhawana Ke Saath” started with an amazing first episode with Dr. Aashish Chaudhry, MD & Head of Orthopedics and Joint Replacement, Aakash Healthcare Super Specialty Hospital. The show webcasted live on official YouTube channel of BKT Media. As mentioned in earlier post, the program will continue to webcast live every Saturday at 5 pm.

The Program Host Shilpa Bhawana confirmed in her introduction that online season of the show started after the Producer got requests in huge numbers from the viewers. The show is supported by the NGO Ek Hi Rasta, which works with the motto of Awareness, Preservation and Motivation in the society.  

Citing the current health scenario, the episode one of the show focused on the “Preventive Healthcare during Pandemic”. During the interaction, Dr. Chaudhry discussed the various aspects of health negligence by the people. He also described how people have adapted the basic preventive habit of washing hands regularly due to Covid 19 which they kept ignoring for a long time. Dr. Chaudhry also suggested regular health checkups for a healthy life. He said, “According to me, person less than 50 years of age should undergo health checkup for at least once a year, and those above 50yrs should do twice a year. At least a basic check up in a year ensures that you are safe for the year. In case any irregularity appears, it must be immediately addressed.”

Mentioning the growing health problems in youth, Dr. Chaudhry said, ”Nowadays people even in their 30s have body of 60s. People are aging very fast because of no physical activities. A major shakeup was required and due to Covid19 people have realized the importance of their health.” On being asked about the expenses of these regular checkups, Dr. Chaudhry said, now a days people have car insurance but not health insurance. Spending Rs.1000 once a year for basic checkup is better than spending more money for treatment of preventive diseases.”

Being a responsible healthcare institute, Aakash Healthcare has always focused on helping the community at large. It started special vaccination programs for Covid 19. According to Dr. Chaudhry, following are the immunization steps taken by Aakash Healthcare:

1.         On site program – 800-900 vaccination in a day on an average

2.         Drive through program – Vaccination to people while sitting in their vehicles

3.         Organized camps in different societies, RWAs and offices having 500-600 employees.

In the discussion, Dr. Chaudhry also listed the following preventive measures for Covid 19 for both unaffected and affected people.

For unaffected people at home:

1. Everything has to be sanitized first before usage.
2. Health workers going back to their homes must have separate clothing and eating
3. People travelling or working must sanitize themselves by bathing before mingling with their family.
4. Special attention must be given to kids

People affected:

1. Isolation for at least 2-3 weeks
2. Continuous monitoring of their symptoms like oxygen level, fever and other symptoms like loss of smell and taste, burning eyes, Loose motions, diarrhea.
3. Consultation of doctor at least once.

Covid 19 has also given rise to Mucormycosis (Black Fungus). According to a report, around 12000 cases of black fungus has been reported in India. Talking about this disease, Dr Chaudhry said, ”Mucormycosis exists inside the body of everyone in any part of body. It doesn’t affect unless the immunity of person is weak. During Covid 19, all the factors together came up and this helped the fungus to grow.” When asked about the preventive measures for Black Fungus, he said, “Consult a doctor to control factors like sugar levels and other things which got affected due to Covid19 treatment so that there is a barrier to control the spread of fungus.”

Apart from the discussion, the concept of the show also includes a separate segment namely, Shilpa Bhawana Special.
