IPH Seminar: Understanding Surrogacy

IPH Seminar: Understanding Surrogacy

Lopamudra Goswami, doctoral candidate at Griffith University, Gold Coast, Australia, will be presenting her work on surrogacy in India in a seminar titled “Understanding Surrogacy.” 

Over the last 6 years, Lopamudra’s research work has focused on Indian surrogate mothers in Gujarat and currently her focus is in the state of Karnataka. India used to be the surrogacy capital of the world. Yet, in general, people often find themselves trying to come up with a rather unique explanation of what it could potentially mean in the event they encounter the word. Often, people are also left surprised to learn the related statistics. For this lecture, Lopamudra will explain some of the nuances of surrogacy as a process.

IPH Seminar: A multi-level governance framework to guide the implementation of patient rights related policies in health facilities

IPH Seminar: A multi-level governance framework to guide the implementation of patient rights related policies in health facilities

On January 23rd, Meena Putturaj, PhD fellow at ITM, Antwerp & TDU, Bengaluru will present the scoping review protocol that she has developed as part of the first phase of her PhD on the implementation of patients rights’ related policies. 

Patient rights are embedded within the broader perspective of human rights and are the application of human rights principles in a health care setting. Patients rights’ are important because they have implications for the quality of health care. There is extensive literature available on the patient rights’ policies, structures, and enforcement mechanisms in high income contexts (especially Europe) but less so for LMICs. The aim of Meena’s proposed scoping review is to come up with a theoretical framework from a multi-level governance perspective to guide the implementation of patient rights related policies in health facilities.

Film Screening: Health in All and the Tribal Population in South India

The IPH Knowledge Management Committee invites you to attend the screening of “Health in All and the Tribal Population in South India.” directed by professional filmmaker Lode Desmet. The film was made along with public health researchers at IPH, Bangalore and ITM, Antwerp and was officially released at the Bringing Evidence into Public Health Policy (EPHP) conference in Bangalore in July 2016.

Collaborative research with tribal populations in South India confirmed and unraveled social exclusion as a major obstacle to health and well-being. The documentary makes a case for a ‘Health in All’ approach, starting from the realities and needs, voiced by members of tribal communities.

The screening will be followed by a discussion. You are invited to join the film screening in person or over Zoom, using the link below: https://zoom.us/j/701662546

Adhip Amin, Research Officer in the Chronic Health Conditions and Public Policies cluster at IPH, will be presenting a seminar titled, “Introduction to Qualitative Comparative Analysis.” This seminar will be on methods in the social science, specifically a basic introduction to Comparative Social Science Research, specifically Qualitative Comparative Analysis (QCA). It will also discuss causal complexity in the social sciences and how QCA, rather than seeking to reduce the complexity — instead, works with it. QCA is a method that Dr. Upendra Bhojani and the project team aim to employ in the DEEP project. This seminar will be conceptual in nature.

World Day of Remembrance for road traffic victims

World Day of Remembrance for road traffic victims

Every year, about 1.5 lakh Indians die from road injuries while about 5 lakhs sustain serious injuries. Karnataka, with a population of over 6.1 crores, accounts for the third-largest number of road injuries and the fourth-highest number of road traffic deaths in India.

To remember the many millions killed and injured on the world’s roads, together with their families, friends and many others who are also affected, people around the world observe the World Day of Remembrance for Road Traffic Victims (WDR) in the month of November every year.

Institute of Public Health, Bengaluru in association with Maharani Cluster University, Bengaluru, along with Padmasree school of public health — under the banner of Safer Roads Bengaluru initiative organized an awareness program where the students formed a human chain on Saturday, 16th November 2019 to commemorate this Year’s World Day of Remembrance for Road Traffic Victims (WDR).

Shri. P C Mohan, Member of Parliament inaugurated the program. Addressing the students, he said, “Karnataka alone witnesses around ten thousand deaths and more than 50000 injuries every year due to road crashes. Adhering to traffic rules is the only way to reduce this. Youth should stop showing negligence towards traffic rules. By following traffic rules, one can, not only save his own life but also contribute to safeguarding other’s life as well.”

 Dr. Asha Abikar, Deputy Director of State Road Safety Authority said “Bangalore city alone witnesses around 650 road traffic deaths every year. To safeguard the lives of road users, the Government has recently amended the Motor Vehicle Act and increased the fine amount.  People especially Youth should follow traffic rules and become an asset for the nation.”

Dr. Upendra Bhojani, Director of the Institute of Public Health explained the safer roads Bengaluru initiative and stressed the need for the people’s commitment towards road safety.

The event was presided by Prof. Dr. M.S. Reddy, Special Officer, Maharani Cluster University.

Mr. Kumaraswamy who lost his 20-year-old daughter in a recent road crash, narrated the painful loss of his daughter. He encouraged students to be mindful of traffic rules and road safety.
