Indian Family Doctors at the Forefront of Planetary Health Advocacy on World Family Doctor Day 2024

World Family Doctor Day 2024 3

New Delhi, India, May 21, 2024: As the world grapples with the interwoven challenges of climate change, pollution, and health disparities, Indian family doctors are stepping up as champions of planetary health. On World Family Doctor Day 2024, celebrated under the theme ‘Healthy Planet, Healthy People,‘ the spotlight is on the critical role of family doctors in addressing the health impacts of environmental changes. Organized by the Academy of Family Physicians of India (AFPI) Delhi Chapter in association with Maharaja Agrasen Hospital, Punjabi Bagh, Delhi, the event highlighted the pivotal role of family doctors as the cornerstone of primary healthcare.

Dr. Raman Kumar, President of AFPI, highlights, “Family doctors are on the frontline, witnessing the health effects of environmental changes firsthand. Their role goes beyond treating illnesses; they are advocates for sustainable living and environmental stewardship. According to recent statistics, the Earth’s natural systems are under immense strain, with climate change alone contributing to a rise in communicable and non-communicable diseases.”

During the inauguration of the event, Dr. Subhash Gupta, Chairman of Maharaja Agrasen Hospital Trust, during the event’s inauguration, said, “In an era where super specialization dominates healthcare, we must recognize the invaluable role of family doctors. Your family doctor provides trusted guidance, ensuring you receive the right care at the right time. This sentiment aligns with a growing national trend.”

Dr. Sunil Massand, a leading family doctor, emphasizes, “The healthcare sector is a significant contributor to carbon emissions. Family doctors, through preventive care and lifestyle interventions, play a pivotal role in reducing the need for resource-intensive medical treatments, thereby lowering emissions.”

The conference featured interactive workshops and panel sessions focusing on the latest trends in family medicine and primary care. Family doctors are at the forefront, witnessing the health consequences of climate change firsthand. From the surge in respiratory illnesses due to pollution to the spread of vector-borne diseases with changing climates, their observations are vital in understanding and combating these environmental health threats.

Dr. Vandana Boobna, the event organizer, expressed, “World Family Doctor Day is not just a celebration; it’s a reaffirmation of our commitment to providing holistic and sustainable healthcare. As we navigate the complexities of modern healthcare, family doctors remain the bedrock of our health systems.”

As the world commemorates World Family Doctor Day 2024, it is a reminder of the invaluable contributions of family doctors in promoting health, preventing diseases, and fostering healthy communities. Their dedication to patient care, combined with their advocacy for planetary health, embodies the spirit of this year’s theme, ‘Healthy Planet, Healthy People.’

The AFPI Delhi Chapter’s World Family Doctor Day conference served as a timely reminder that family doctors are the backbone of a healthy nation. As India grapples with a rising burden of chronic diseases and the challenges of climate change, a robust primary care system with family doctors at its core is more crucial than ever.

Closing the Rural Education Gap: Empowering Children for a Brighter Future

In a fast-changing world, education is lacking in rural areas. The condition of the education system of rural areas of India has been concerned since Independence. It serves as the foundation for economic development, social advancement, and personal growth. Education equips people with the information, skills, and capacity for critical thinking they need to overcome challenges and make significant contributions to society. As a fundamental right, everyone deserves an education, the world is going towards digitalization, and more advanced technologies are coming, so it becomes important for the upcoming generation to get educated. It will help them get their future bright, and it will also help the nation in their development.

 However, the rural education system sometimes fails to fulfill the expectations. Children are unable to access basic educational materials such as teachers, books, and notebooks. Short attendance is caused by insufficient educational resources and transportation concerns. A shortage of qualified teachers leads to overcrowding in classrooms. Schools in remote regions require sufficient facilities, including classrooms, restrooms, and safe drinking water for staff and students. Financial challenges may cause families to drop their children from school due to poor status. This creates a cycle of poverty for future generations.

 Research says that 37% of students cannot attend school due to a lack of resources. Fortunately, several strategies are being implemented to improve the education system in rural India. Government campaigns like “Padhega India Tabhi To Badhega India” (A developed India is when India learns), “Beti Bachao Beti Padhao” (Save the girl child, educate the girl child), and “Viksit Bharat” (Developed India) aim to promote education for rural children. These initiatives include providing educational materials, scholarships, and mid-day meals to attract and retain students. As well, the government distributes bicycles to students to facilitate transportation and offers tablets and laptops to high-performing students as part of the Digital India program. Prize money and scholarships are also awarded to top performers in board exams. These efforts hold promise for improving the quality of education in rural areas and creating a brighter future for children.

 According to Dr. Subhash Gupta, Chairman of Red Cross Society, Ghaziabad-

 I highly appreciate the work that is done by the government and the campaigns that are started by them. It will help the children of places where education is not accessible to get educated, and to make themselves a great person in the future. The children of my locality were not getting a better education because of financial issues, fewer accessories, and no guidance. I want every child to get a better education by every source of education whether by books, teachers, or workshops to study and make themselves an educated and a good person who is going to have a bright future. I am keen to help the children in every possible aspect so they should not face any problems with their studies and should not be affected due to financial issues.
