Pune: The COVID-19 pandemic has not only forced many professionals to work from home, but also pushed people suffering from various ailments to opt for home healthcare services instead of going to hospitals for treatment. This is just a beginning and the home health care system has a lot to offer in future, say experts. Patients who have to undergo dialysis, physiotherapy and chemotherapy are preferring health care services at home and many are also taking telemedicine consultations, they say.

Talking to PTI, Dr Avinash Ignatius, a nephrologist and transplant physician at a well-known Pune-based hospital, said those suffering from kidney-related problems now have an option of “peritoneal dialysis” which can be done at home.
In this case, a haemodialysis machine along with all support systems is installed at home. A dialysis technician goes there and does the patient’s dialysis, he said.
He said tele-consultation with doctors is also picking up among those suffering from chronic kidney ailments.
Medical instruments like automated blood pressure monitors, weighing scales, pulse oximeter are now available at home. Those who have recently undergone kidney transplants need not come to visit a hospital for frequent follow-ups. By using these instruments at home, they can inform about their health condition to the doctor, he said.

City resident Sudha Shrivastava, 68, has recently started taking dialysis at home and she finds it more comfortable than going to hospital every time. “In the last six months, I have visited hospital only once. I have got the entire set up of home dialysis. I inform my doctor about health condition via tele-consultation,” she said.
Taking dialysis at home has been comfortable and less risky in recent times when hospitals were seeing an influx COVID-19 patients, she added.
Oncologist Minish Jain, who offers consultation at various hospitals in Pune, said taking chemotherapy at home is still not popular in India. But, in certain kind of cancers, treatments and chemotherapy can be given at home, he said.
In this pandemic time, people are afraid to visit hospitals and those who can afford, have started taking chemotherapy at home, he said.
But hospital stay is still cheaper in India compared to taking the treatment at home. So, home health care is being preferred only by those who can afford it, he added. Dr Ajay Kothari, a consultant orthopaedic surgeon at a private hospital here, said patients are now preferring robotic and non-invasive surgeries as these require less hospital stay, hence chances of contracting COVID-19 infection (due to frequent visits outside) are also less. “During the lockdown, when people suffering from chronic orthopaedic issues were not able to visit hospital, home-based physiotherapy services helped them a lot,” said Rupal Sancheti, the director of a home-based physio therapy start-up.

NDTV – Dettol Banega Swasth India campaign is an extension of the five-year-old Banega Swachh India initiative helmed by Campaign Ambassador Amitabh Bachchan. It aims to spread awareness about critical health issues facing the country. In wake of the current COVID-19 pandemic, the need for WASH (Water, Sanitation and Hygiene) is reaffirmed as handwashing is one of the ways to prevent Coronavirus infection and other diseases. The campaign highlights the importance of nutrition and healthcare for women and children to prevent maternal and child mortality, fight malnutrition, stunting, wasting, anaemia and disease prevention through vaccines. Importance of programmes like Public Distribution System (PDS), Mid-day Meal Scheme, POSHAN Abhiyan and the role of Aganwadis and ASHA workers are also covered. Only a Swachh or clean India where toilets are used and open defecation free (ODF) status achieved as part of the Swachh Bharat Abhiyan launched by Prime Minister Narendra Modi in 2014, can eradicate diseases like diahorrea and become a Swasth or healthy India. The campaign will continue to cover issues like air pollution, waste management, plastic ban, manual scavenging and sanitation workers and menstrual hygiene.
