#BBMP updates: People working at ground level should be given an opportunity to speak up during meetings about the “real” problems they are facing. Encouraging field staff to speak up will help. Not just problems, they also have solutions. It is time for reason & bold steps. 1/n
While more manpower is taken on board to help out in handling the data, there is hardly any skilled manpower to cross check data.
Data entry operators will not be adequate without having field workers verifying case investigation forms & help in tracing. Involve health staff 2/n
Mass hiring for filling positions doctors & other allied staff. Half of them don’t turn up or continue. This can be resolved by a term insurance (2 crores), medical insurance and assurance of beds in case they are infected with #COVID19. Career progression & salary matter too 3/n
Pooling revenue department for contact tracing isn’t helping & resulting in several problems. Immediate repatriation of link workers to health department, hiring ANMs, additional medical officers and strengthening public health wing with complete autonomy can resolve this. 4/n
We either face the truth to take bold actions or succumb to let the virus run it’s course mercilessly.
It’s now or never.
