Ep #19: India's Oxygen Supply Chain with Abhishek Tupe (Public Health Consultant) 25:32

Warning: This content might trigger some people The 2nd wave has brought into wide public attention the inadequate supply chain of various essential drugs and equipment, most notably Oxygen. Visuals of desperate families and friends scrambling for the gas will remain a part of our collective memory for a long long time. Though Oxygen shortage is an issue that came into the fore recently, as a public health consultant, Abhishek Tupe has been engaging with it for years now. In this short and crisp episode, Abhishek breaks down India's Oxygen supply chain for us. Tune in to hear about the three basic ways in which Oxygen is produced. We speak about Oxygen PSA Plants, industrially produced Medical Oxygen (INOX and Linde), and the now ubiquitous Oxygen Concentrators. These three options provide drastically different solutions for what Covid-19 made an almost household problem. They differ in costs, method and point of production and capacity. (Abhishek Tupe is a Public Health Consultant who has worked with leading Non Profit Organisations across India and Africa. He holds an MA in Economics from Gokhale Institute of Politics and Economics, Pune) --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/publichealthconversations/message…

Ep #18: Rural India and Covid with Sweta Dash (Independent Journalist and Researcher) 42:59

That India's inadequately funded public health system would be able to bear the burden of a pandemic was nobody's expectation. The colossal failure though, has taken almost everybody by surprise. The private sector was unable to keep up with a demand that almost no one forecasted, and the lack of basic drugs and supplies compounded the problem to a point where this tragedy will be remembered as the darkest days in Independent India's history. With many examples from rural India and her native Orissa, Sweta Dash explains to us what is unfolding in India's hinterland. As Covid 19 makes inroads in previously unchartered territories, we must contend that most of these stories will never reach us. In this insightful discussion, Sweta tells us about the structure of public health facilities in rural India, the state of healthcare workers, the surprising lack of data in a regime where data collection is a huge part of a healthcare worker's daily routine, and why the public needs to be taken into confidence to turn the tide against this pandemic.

Air Pollution statistics from India are grim. And while there is no denying that, we must also make a conscientious effort to understand its causes, and more clearly, it's direct and indirect consequences. In this insightful talk, Jyoti gives us the hard cold facts about the state of the air we breathe, how it impacts us, why we have normalised it, and how at its very core, this is a social equity problem. Like she states, this wicked problem needs to be solved using our "ballots and wallets" We conclude with a short reading from Jyoti's book , Breathing Here is Injurious to your Health, published in 2020 by Hachette India. (Jyoti Pande Lavakare is a columnist, financial journalist and writer who has lived and worked in Britain, the United States and India. Jyoti has written for and worked with publications such as The Wall Steet Journal, Dow Jones Newswires, The Financial Times and Mint.

Aptly called the Emperor of All Maladies, Cancer has confounded humans for at least a millennia. In India, the situation is dire. The one million cases diagnosed is only the tip of the iceberg, as many Indians die undiagnosed, misdiagnosed, in the course of outdated treatment protocols, and or simply in pain due to a woeful lack of palliative care. Many of these deaths are preventable. The government foots a large part of medical bills but the demand is simply too much for the inadequately funded public healthcare system to bear. And that is where Non Profit Organisations, manned by dedicated medicos like Dr Venkatraman Radhakrishnan step in. Join us as Dr Radhakrishnan expertly demystifies the cancer story in India. We discuss a plethora of subjects ranging from regulations, the state of research, social stigma, diagnosis, vaccines, the role of government, and pharma patents for critical oncology drugs to the policy changes it will require for India to script a much needed plot twist. Dr Venkatraman Radhakrishnan MD DM is a Professor of Medical Oncology and Paediatric Oncology at Cancer Institute, Chennai, India. He takes a keen interest in clinical trials, global health and cancer policy. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/publichealthconversations/message…

Introducing The Lassa Fever- a disease most of us haven't heard of. Afflicting more than half a million people in the West Africa region, this disease was first studied in 1969, and discovered in the town of Lassa, Nigeria. It is fatal in over 1% of all cases. This unique virus spreads to humans from the African rat and despite its extremely infectious nature has gotten very little attention. In fact, few outside West Africa have even heard of it. In this episode, we get Infectious Diseases Expert, Dr Solomon Chollom to talk to us about the disease. Dr Chollom is among the very few experts on the Lassa Fever. We also discuss the future of Infectious Disease prevention, vaccine development, the brain drain in Africa, how to prevent future pandemics and how different governments will think differently about healthcare post Covid-19. Dr Solomon Chollom is a Medical Virologist who has been at the forefront in Covid-19 Management in Nigeria and Africa. He is an African Doctoral Dissertation Research Fellow 2016-2018, an AITRP Fogarty Fellow 2014-2015, and an avid Liverpool fan. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/publichealthconversations/message…

This is the second episode in a 4 part series that delves deeper into Mental Health issues faced by Millennials, often called the Therapy Generation. Here we tackle, Toxic Workplaces. Nearly half of all Millennials don't intend to stay at workplaces for more than two years. While fluidity in the job market may have a huge role to play, their preference for a conducive and healthy work culture definitely has been an enabling factor. Mental Health issues because of toxic workplaces are a leading cause of job dissatisfaction and sickness. Vishwa Modi tells us why that does not need to be the case. And how, with clarity of thought and some confidence, we can tackle these issues head on. Vishwa is a psychotherapist at The Mood Space. Using a neuropsychotherapeutic lens, her therapeutic process is guided by techniques and strategies from evidence based therapies using an eclectic approach.

This is the first episode in a 4 part series that delves deeper into Mental Health issues faced by Millennials, often called the Therapy Generation. Here we tackle, Love. A slew of socio-political, economic and technological factors has ensured that millennials go on far fewer dates, marry later and have lesser kids. In this episode, we talk about dating apps, arranged marriages, equitable relationships, privacy, Snapchat dysmorphia and much more. While we can only guess how this impacts future society, the current impact on millennials is clear- loneliness, anxiety and a crippling fear of the future. Riddhika Bhandari tells us why that does not need to be the case. And how, with therapy, and a clear focus on balance, we can gain a lot more than we lose. Riddhika is a Bangalore based counsellor. She holds an M Sc in Work Psychology and brings a unique understanding of culture to her practice, using both holistic and alternative techniques of psychotherapy. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/publichealthconversations/message…

Our conversation today explores the intersections of culture, generational trauma, mental health and millennials- often touted as the "therapy generation". The influence of culture and society on mental health is immense. Culture is a strong, and sometimes invisible underlying thread in most of our daily interactions. But more importantly, it is a major determinant of our relationship with ourselves. It gives us the vocabulary that can both limit and promote our self awareness, and how we choose to deal with the mental strains of cohabiting an increasingly globalised, interconnected world. Riddhika Bhandari is a Bangalore based counsellor. She holds an M Sc in Work Psychology and brings a unique understanding of culture to her practice, using both holistic and alternative techniques of psychotherapy. Tune in to hear about: How culture impacts mental health What kind of stigma exists around mental health The issues that millennials usually employ mental health services for How culture contributes to mental health issues that millennials face Generational and Intergenerational trauma --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/publichealthconversations/message…

One of the greatest challenges of any Public Health project is taking information effectively to vulnerable populations. More often than not, the target demographic is uneducated, unconvinced or simply doesn't have the time to hear what the government has to say through its educational posters, pamphlets or radio content. This is where video content comes in. As a medium that is conducive to engaging, memorable and convincing content, it holds immense promise. Ananya Roy is a Bangalore based documentary film maker who's work has found viewership on various platforms including Netflix, Youtube and various Film Festivals throughout the world. In the course of this insightful 30 minute conversation, we discuss: Why Video over other forms of content? How does one go about the process of creating engaging content? Why is research a crucial first part of any kind of content creation? How do you touch sensitive topics while speaking to subjects? Is funding really all that important? Are government ads at a disadvantage because they are perceived to be boring? What potential does cinema hold as a medium of behaviour change? As a medium of information, how important is initiative within community?
