वेतन को लेकर हारट्रोन के आईटी प्रोफेशनल्स में रोष।

नगरपालिका चुनाव में सरकार को नाराजगी दिखाने का किया निश्चय

पंचकूला, 21 दिसंबर-     हारट्रोन के आईटी प्रोफेशनल का वेतन इस बढ़ती महंगाई के दौर में आज भी 13500 रुपये ही है जो की एक डीसी रेट पर लगे सफाई कर्मचारी के वेतन से भी कम है।


इस संबंध में जानकारी देते हुए हारट्रोन के आईटी प्रोफेशनल सुभाष थपलियाल शर्मा, रवि केशला व अमित सिंह रावत ने बताया कि हरियाणा मुख्यमंत्री श्री मनोहर लाल ने कहा था कि राज्य में न्यूनतम मासिक वेतन ही 15000 रुपये होगा। मुख्यमंत्री के कहने के बाद भी आज तक हारट्रोन के आईटी प्रोफेशनल को 13500 रुपये में ही काम करना पड़ रहा है। महंगाई समय समय पर बढ़ रही है और हारट्रोन आईटी प्रोफेशनल का वेतन आज भी वहीं की वहीं पर है। हरियाणा सरकार के डिजिटल हरियाणा के सपने को साकार करने वाले आईटी प्रोफेशनल आज भी 13500 में ही गुजारा करने पर मजबूर है। स्थाई कर्मचारियों की भांति उन्हें न तो मैडिकल पूरा मिलता है और न ही कोई अन्य सुविधा मिलती है। हरियाणा में आज आॅन लाईन व ई-आॅफिस जैसे सभी कार्य आईटी प्रोफेशनल के द्वारा ही किये जाते है, फिर भी आज तक न तो सरकार ने इनकी तरफ ध्यान दिया है और न ही अधिकारी इन कर्मचारियों की स्थिति की सूध लेते है। हारट्रोन के माध्यम से लगे इन कर्मचारियों ने तन-मन व धन से हर समय सरकार को पूरा सहयोग दिया, चाहे वह कोरोना काल हो या कोई अन्य स्थिति। दिन-रात कार्य करने वाले ये आईटी प्रोफेशनल किस तरह इतनी कम सैलरी में काम चला रहे है, इसके बारे में बार बार सरकार को याद भी दिला चुके है लेकिन सरकार इनकी तरफ देख भी नहीं रही।


उन्होंने बताया कि अपनी पूरी जिंदगी सरकार के कार्य में सहयोग देने वाले 20-20 सालों से काम कर रहे आईटी प्रोफेशनल को अब तक केवल 22600 रुपये की मासिक वेतन मिल रहा है। हरियाणा मुख्यमंत्री को यह बताते हुए खुशी हो रही है माननीय राष्ट्रपति द्वारा वर्ष 2020 के लिये राज्य व केंद्र शासित प्रदेश की श्रेणी में एक्सलन्स इन डिजिटल गवर्नन्स का राष्ट्रीय पुरस्कार अंत्योदय सरल हरियाणा को प्रदान किया जा रहा है, जो हमारे लिये गर्व की बात है। जब हरियाणा सरकार को इन सबका पता है तो क्या इस बारे में नहीं पता कि इस अवार्ड को दिलवाने वाले कर्मठ कर्मचारी कितनी मुश्किल से दो वक्त की रोटी खा पा रहे है। किस तरह वे अपने परिवार का पेट पाल रहे है किस तरह अपने बूढे मां-बाप का इलाज करवा रहे है और किस तरह अपनी छोटी बहन की शादी का खर्च उठा रहे है।
उन्होंने बताया कि सरकार को समय रहते इन कर्मचारियों की स्थिति के बारे में सोचना चाहिए। हर इंसान के जीवन में बहुत सारी जिम्मेदारी होती है, जिनका निवर्हन ये कर्मचारी भी करते है। इतनी तकलीफ झेलते हुए भी इन कर्मचारियों ने सरकार के डिजिटल गवर्नन्स को सफल बनाया है तो सरकार को इसका भी अंदाजा लगाना चाहिए कि अगर इन कर्मचारियों को स्थाई कर्मचारियों की तरह सुविधा दी जाये तो हमारे हरियाणा को कितना आगे ले जा सकते है। बार बार मंत्रियों से मिल चुके ये आईटी प्रोफेशनल आज भी वहीं के वहीं पर है। सभी आईटी प्रोफेशनल सरकार की ऐसी नीतियों की वजह से नाराज है और नगर पालिका चुनाव में सरकार का विरोध करते है।

Don’t Let Pandemic Deter You From Seeking IVF Treatment: Dr. Pooja Mehta

·         Have safe IVF treatment during Covid, follow guidelines

·         No sufficient evidence to prove that Covid positive pregnant mother can pass on infection to child

·         Fortis Bloom IVF centre, Fortis Hospital, Mohali share tips to have safe pregnancy through IVF during Covid times

Shimla, December 21, 2020: The current pandemic should not be a deterrent in making couples seeking parenthood opt for IVF treatment. In times when almost 1 in every 6 couples in-country is looking for an infertility solution, corona spread comes as a testing time. Fertility problems and IVF are already stressful. Now, throw a pandemic like COVID-19 in this scenario, and the mind may go into an all-out tailspin.

For Detailed News-

Dr. Pooja Mehta, Senior Consultant, Gynaecologist & IVF Specialist at Fortis Bloom IVF Centre, Fortis Hospital, Mohali Chandigarh said that couples now need not curtail their happiness out of scare of Covid infection.

She explained it is understandable for couples to wonder if this is the best time for embryo retrieval or transfer. She advised against delaying the IVF treatment as the majority of patients of reproductive age are generally not in the high-risk group (vis-à-vis high-risk groups of Covid). So, it is not necessary to delay the treatment cycle or IVF consultation at this time.

https://propertyliquid.com

Explaining the impact of Corona on fertility she said that currently, there was limited evidence regarding the association between fertility and coronavirus. But, we do know that infections may cause high fever, which could affect fertility treatment, she added.

A study has suggested that high fever during the IVF cycle or egg freezing may require a higher need for medications, a lower number of retrieved eggs, and a longer cycle. However, there’s no evidence suggesting that COVID-19 fever has an impact on fertility.

Similarly, she dispelled the fears that Covid may hamper pregnancy. She explained it was seen that the risk of COVID infection in the pregnant female is the same as compared to a non-pregnant female. Besides, there is no sufficient evidence that suggests that pregnant women can pass COVID infection to their babies. Also, coronavirus is not present in breast milk or amniotic fluid. Looking at these facts, it is highly unlikely that COVID-19 can affect pregnancy.

To mitigate the spread of the virus at Fortis IVF Bloom Center complete care is being taken to lessen the number of the physical visit of patients to the hospital. Hospital offers telemedicine appointments for the initial or follow-up consultations to curate a treatment plan for you. Further, to avoid transmission risk, it follows all guidelines suggested by the authorities.

Dr. Pooja explained that the central laboratory also has a HEPA filtration system, a positive pressure air handling system, and maintains quality assurance and rigorous cleaning at all times. This lowers the risk of COVID transmission to embryos, eggs, or sperm.

Changes have been made at Fortis IVF centers in Mumbai, Navi Mumbai (Girgaum & Bandra), Navi Mumbai, South Delhi, Gurugram, Faridabad & Mohali for patient safety. Video Consultation in form of digital consultation and counseling has been introduced to minimize patients’ visits and clinic footfall.

To reduce exposure, the center provides home blood collection. In males with suspected semen problems, semen collection can also be done at home & then transported to the laboratory for analysis. For repeated ultrasounds, we have started referring patients to their nearby ultrasonologist rather than calling them to the IVF clinic.  Options for home delivery of medications along with a prescription are also available.

Also, the centers’ staff is on the daily triage questionnaire for COVID-19, which are questions that determine infection risk. They are also tested with an RT PCR test if they are suspected of COVID infection. At centers, the staff greets with hands folded and no handshakes. Visitors are requested to sanitize their hands and temperature is checked.

Face masks and PPE are worn during the procedures as per guidelines along with mandatory for patients to adorn masks all the time.  Ultraviolet lights (which are used during non-working hours) have been installed and sterilization to sanitize the surfaces and air is done regularly.

Most importantly, COVID Screening of all couples is done using polymerase chain reaction (PCR) before starting the treatment and repeat them before all treatment stages, such as embryo transfer or ovum pick up. If either spouse is detected positive for Covid, the cycle is canceled. In those patients wherein a cycle is canceled, discounts are given in the next IVF attempt, to compensate for the financial loss of cycle cancellation.

Take these precautions while undergoing IVF to stay steer clear of coronavirus

ü  Wear a mask all the time when in public.

ü  Frequently wash your hands with water and soap for at least 20/30 seconds.

ü  If soap is not available, use an alcohol-based sanitizer with at least 70% alcohol.

ü  Disinfect and clean frequently touched surfaces using cleaning wipes or sprays.

ü Cover your nose and hands with elbow or tissue and not your hands
