Bridging the Diabetic Divide
The Madras Diabetic Research Foundation,
Chennai conducted an intensive interactive training programme on “Clinical
Research Methods” and associated 11th International Seminar on
“Prevention and Control of Non-communicable Diseases” which was supported by
National Institute of Health (NIH), USA. The programme extended from 13th
to 17th February, 2013. It was jointly organized by Florida
International University and University of Alabama
Its been an impressive effort to
bridge the gap between Internal Medicine and Public Health and see how
discussions could be taken ahead. It also formed as a platform for future
public health and internal medicine doctors to learn from and wonder.
It must be noted that Dr Mohan’s
Diabetic Speciality Center has been leading the efforts to cure and prevent
diabetes and it stands out head and shoulder above rest of the institutes. The
effort acts as a model for entrepreneurial altruism and it encourages more
private players to join in this Industry Institution Interactions and Public
Private Partnerships.
Madras Diabetic Research
Foundation is a component of Padmashri Dr Mohan’s magnanimity and curiosity to
provide and promote research and development in the sector of Diabetes. In my
understanding of what i saw , i have come to believe that Dr Mohan and his team
of doctors and research associates are silently working through their deeds and
not only through words. It is called upon well meaning people to take note of
this and support the cause for the betterment of mankind.
Melanie Pinto,
Sahana Rao and Andrea Fernandes and myself from Father Muller Medical College,
Mangalore were awarded a Scholarship for
the program under the guidance of Dr Sudhir Prabhu, Dept of Community Medicine.
