Anil Bamne from Mungeli district of Chhattisgarh is telling us about widow of Bir Singh Baiga who died two years ago while collecting Tendu leaf. According to Govt laws the widow should get a compensation of Rs 10,000 but she is running pillar to post from last 2 years and no one had helped her. Baiga is a primitive tribe and Govt has many special welfare programs for this tribe but this story probably tells about Govt attitude. For more Anil Ji can be reached at 09977161570

Anil bamne from Jan Swasthya Sansthan in Chhattisgarh says they held a blood donation camp in Bilaspur on 10th of February. This was preceded by an awareness campaign which addressed the common misapprehensions about loss of strength, virility in men associated with blood donation. With the result people came from as far. Anilji invites people to see that donating blood is the greatest “punya” and help that one human being can give to another one at a time of need.

Anil Bamne from Bilaspur in Chhattisgarh says the Sanjeevni ambulance did not turn up again. Last time when Anil left a similar complaint on Swara, health secretary had intervened. But again, a pregnant woman had to be taken to the hospital by private vehicle, after suffering labour pain for hours. He says it is impossible to make a proper complaint as the person who responds the 108 calls refuses to disclose his name. For more Anil Ji can be reached at 09977161570

Anil Bamne from Bilaspur in Chhattisgarh says that he is forced to raise the issue of Govt health staff asking for support from pregnant women at the time of their delivery. He says I raised this issue before but no remedy has been found. At the one end Govt says women will be given some money if they came to hospital for delivery but at this rate Govt should rethink and give that money to women at home to get delivered by qualified nurses.
