"Hospital on wheels for pets arrives"

Saturday November 1 2003 12:54 IST KOCHI:

Now your cute poodle would no longer have to stand trembling for hours close to ferocious Rottweilers and snarling Dobermans while awaiting its turn at the only veterinary hospital in a city locality. From on Saturday onwards, the hospital will come to the side of your pet. Offering a wide range of services from immunisation to emergency surgeries, ‘Ananthapuri Mobile Pet Animal Hospital’, Kochi’s first hospital on wheels for pets, will start operations on Saturday. The hospital, second of its kind in the State, is set in a Maruti van and all pets — cats, dogs and birds of all breeds — will be taken care of, said Dr P R Vinod Kumar, chief surgeon and consultant of the hospital. ‘‘All the owner of the animal has to do is to call us, give us the details and the way to his residence. He won’t even have to go out for buying the necessary medicines. We keep a well-stocked hospital,’’ says Dr Vinod, who is a former veterinary doctor in the government service."

The Hindu : Pak. doctors unhappy with India's gesture:

"Pak. doctors unhappy with India's gesture

By B. Muralidhar Reddy ISLAMABAD Oct 25 . Doctors in Pakistan are clearly not happy with India's gesture of extending the scheme for free medical treatment of Pakistani children. 'Reciprocating' the Indian gesture to provide free medical treatment to 20 Pakistani children, the National Institute of Cardio-Vascular Diseases (NICVD), Karachi, has offered to undertake coronary angiography and bypass surgery for 20 poor Indian patients without any charge. The NICVD said the procedures would be performed within the next 12 months. 'Pakistani cardiologists wish to share the benefits of their long experience in this field with deserving Indian heart patients who may not be able to afford such treatment in India.' The publicity generated by the Noor case and the trigger reaction in the Pakistani society had caused a lot of heartburn, particularly among doctors. Several of them criticised the 'mindless' publicity by the media and said that similar, if not better facilities, were available in Pakistan."
