All India Institute of Medical Sciences, New Delhi

And it's very painful if those who are attached to the body, because the Upanishad describes, there's another very interesting story I'll tell you about, all real life story, none of them is...

So one of my friend, he was head of department in physiology in All India Institute of Medical Sciences.

So I am saying something very authentic, not just...

So he was telling me a story that one day his father was dying.

One in Mumbai, which was published in 2021, said that, uh, even in a tuberculosis endemic country, LDCT can actually pick up, uh, the malignant, uh, nodules.

And another study that was done by some AIIMS doctors and others also said that, uh, you know, the proportion of people who are screened positive with the LDCT, the lung cancer detection rate, and the proportion of false positive cases are comparable to Western countries, even in a country like India that has a lot of TB cases.

So all of these are arguments for implementing a lung cancer screening program.

However, it would take time and money to do so.

Mm-hmm.

Many people in India today, those who are able to, uh, go to All India Institute, uh, Medical Science, the AIIMS, New Delhi, are able to get good quality care at a very low cost.

It's not completely free, at a very low cost because AIIMS has everything under one roof.

We need more such, uh-

I, I'm a little bit of a AIIMS, uh, skeptic, Indranil.

Yes, it...

AIIMS is fantastic, but when I found it impossible to get any [chuckles] appointment to meet any doctor unless, you know, it's, it's...

Basically, you need to know somebody within the AIIMS, uh, system, and then that person will put in a word, and then you can go and meet the doctor.

So what in your mind, and again, maybe this is where I, I'm gonna ask you to wear your other hat, which is of running a large human resources company, and all the research and everything that goes into it, has slowed us down or stops us despite these red lights or red flags being waved over decades?

Well, I mean, the question is that, uh, the formation of IIMs, IITs, AIIMS was genius just after independence.

Mm.

But the neglect of primary education in the K12 system is obviously going to bite you in the long run, right?

And other than that, of course, cannabis use, alcohol, inhalant use, these are common among children.

This is based on a study done by AIIMS in 2019, which was essentially one of the most comprehensive studies to look at, uh, the estimation of substance abuse in India.

It also said that about, uh, 2.3 crore people, and this I'm saying both children and adults, are actually opioid users in the country, of which 25 lakh are dependent on pharmaceutical opioids.

And Anona, how is CCTV surveillance expected to help regulate the sale of these prescription medicines?

My guest is Dr. Vivek Ghosh, a clinical oncologist from Nepal specializing in radiation oncology.

Vivek, welcome to On Coffee.

Hi, namaste to everyone.

And like I would say, the weather was good.

And then we had a bit of patience, but not that huge volume.

And when I landed up in India, in New Delhi, at All India Institute of Medical Sciences, like The huge volume of patients and then the OPD load, the work culture, everything was quite different.

And of course, they have a state of art facility, which we lacked a bit.

A labor contractor has been apprehended from Kasganj, Uttar Pradesh, in connection with the collapse of a five-story building housing the hostel Daze PG in Delhi's Satya Niketan, which left seven people dead.
