It strongly makes out a case that the best patient is a well-informed one. Even from a doctor s point of view. Each day, it draws both general and specialised visitors.
People often feel that medical issues are too esoteric.
We re trying to overcome that. The idea is to educate them so they don t get misled or misguided. In order to encourage the rational use of drugs, rather than focus only on medical practitioners, I feel we need to concentrate on patients as well, adds HELP founder Dr Aniruddha Malpani. This, notes Malpani, makes sense. Patients themselves have the most to lose if drugs are taken unwisely by them.
