Dr C P Habeeb Rahman- Chairman of Unity Hospital-Mangaluru accepted the prestigious ‘Award for Best Medical Practices’ from European Medical Association at the Arab Health Congress-Dubai on 20 January 2018, on behalf of Unity Hospital.
Mangaluru: Yes, the Doctor as the Chairman of a prestigious Hospital in town has added yet another feather to his Cap by receiving the prestigious ‘Award for Best Medical Practices’ from European Medical Association at the Arab Health Congress-Dubai. Briefing the media persons at the Mangalore Press Club on his Marvellous Achievement, Dr C P Habeeb Rahman, the Chairman of Unity Hospital, Falnir, Mangaluru said, “I am extremely proud to say that in the process, I have made a comparison between the role of the European Medical Association (EMA) and the Indian Medical Association (IMA) and arrived at certain fine points that the Government of India can change in their approach to the Indian Medical Association, for a better health delivery system in the country.”
“I am hereby presenting to you my observations for your better understanding and study. India should take its Medical Fraternity of Doctors into good Faith in addressing challenges in health care. We should consider the European model while making policy decisions pertaining to the health care delivery system.The European Parliament takes the advice of the European Medical Association (EMA) on every matter related to health care. The EMA has a strong representation in the European Parliament. In similar ways, the Indian Parliament must proactively involve the IMA and should make use of the body at various levels including National, State and District level. The IMA is a large establishment. It has made great contributions in improving health care system in India. Patient care in India has continuously improved throughout the past in India with Doctor’s involvement playing the major role in making improvements everywhere,” added Dr Rahman.
He further said, “The Medical education system is also rendering huge support towards health care of needy people. We should make sensible advancements in health care policy, taking every stakeholder into confidence. The health care system has to be supportive for those who are contributing more towards the health delivery system. For instance, Mangaluru has emerged as one of the best health care destinations in South India, taking into consideration several aspects such as quality health care, cost-effective treatments, health camps and awareness programs, nursing and medical education and many more aspects in medical care. Mangaluru has the largest number of medical colleges in a radius of 100 kilometres.”
“The number of people treated in Mangaluru is much more when compared to many other cities including Bengaluru, Hyderabad, Kannur and Chennai. The economy of Mangaluru is largely supported by education and healthcare institutions. It creates large employment opportunities in Mangaluru directly and indirectly. Governmental bodies including the City Corporation should consider these fine elements while implementing projects related to health and hygiene. All these factors are important for the progress of the society. Hence, I suggest more leniency towards Doctors, Nurses, Paramedics, Hospitals and Institutions. While concluding once again I am very much delighted to meet and share with you my delight on receiving this prestigious award in recognition of Best Health Practices at Unity Hospital for the past 4 decades,” concluded Dr CP Habeeb Rahaman.
Also speaking during the press meet Dr Ananth Mohan Pai Chief Executive & Medical Officer-Unity Hospital-Mangaluru said, “Our Chairman, Dr CP Habeeb Rahman, received the prestigious award from Prof. Dr Vincenzo Costigliola, President of The European Medical Association, Brussels, Belgium, at the Arab Health Congress held at Dubai on January 20, 2018. It is the second largest Healthcare Exhibition and Congress in the world and the largest in the Middle East. The EMA represents entire European Union. The award was given considering the excellent reputation of Unity Hospital in regional healthcare initiatives, safe and effective treatment methods, highly professional medical staff, modern equipment and long years of continuous service in a healthcare delivery system. This Award for Best Medical Practices from the prestigious European Medical Association (EMA) will result in an increased flow of patients in the medical tourism sector.
