Doctor’s argument that children are already safe from COVID-19 and go towards the court for opening schools as soon as possible to save this generation.
Covid is declining its impact, and the world is opening again. In most parts of the world, the situation is getting back to normal, and the same is going in India. Everything is opening slowly, and In July, even metros in Delhi have been allowed to run at full capacity. In Nagpur, a group of paediatricians of India have appealed to the state government to start classes without more delay.
Doctor’s Argument :
Dinesh Tomar, National Neonatology General Secretary of the National Neonatology Forum (NNF) India, said – “Not going to school for such a long period has already done major damage to the social, psychological and mental growth of this generation, which will take years to recover,”. Very accurate we have seen this and experienced that if children are away from school for a long time their growth stopped and they became dual in educational life
He also informed that Haryana had already taken the step and discontinued online school, which should be applied in Maharashtra. Dr said, “Online school is not even an option in Haryana. The state government has started schools for all classes, and all kids are doing well.”
President of NNf(National Neonatology Forum), a Delhi based hospital and acclaimed paediatrician Dr Ranjan Kumar Pejaver said Karnataka had reopened primary schools from Monday. Dr said,” There is no risk in opening schools as far as teachers and staff are fully vaccinated. Children have learned to follow social distancing and are accustomed to wearing masks. Parents and caretakers should also get vaccinated, and all will be well.” this is very practical as long as there are venerable people around students are safe, and all the educational organizations made mandatory for their staff to be vaccinated then in a way this will if also help in vaccine drive in speeding the process
From October 23, Nagpur is hosting a conference of paediatricians ‘Neocon-2021’, The first major medical event in physical format after covid 19. “As Paediatricians, we have made it to a point to have this conference in physical format instead of going virtual, just to instil confidence in people that the time to move towards normalcy is her,” said Dr Vijay Dhote, president of Nagpur Academy of Paediatricians(AOP).
Veteran Paediatricians Dr Satish Deopujari, who delivered Dr DG Gan oration, reasserts that there is no risk in sending kids to schools.“ We have come all this way in the pandemic. Now we understand this virus very well. Children are mainly safe, and most of them have already been infected and recovered without even showing symptoms. Parents should send their wards to school without any hesitation.” said Dr Deipujari.
The Paediatricians are discussing mainly neonatal intensive care in this conference. “We aim to bring down the neonatal death rate in India from 20 per 1000 to less than 10 per 1000 live births by 2030,” said Dr Uday Bodhankar, patron of Nagpur AOP. For this. Doctors have suggested simple educative measures like at least four hospital visits for an expecting mother during nine months of pregnancy, encouraging intuitional deliveries, and creating awareness about factors like Kangaroo mother care in common people
What Paediatricians think?
children are primarily safe from covid 19
Schools and physical interaction must compensate for social, mental and psychological growth
There is no harm in starting schools right away for even primary classes
Parents should allow wards to join schools without any hesitation
No need to wait for children’s Covid-19 vaccine as it will be launched in a phase-wise manner.
