World Hemophilia Day 2021

[et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ admin_label=”section” _builder_version=”3.22″][et_pb_row admin_label=”row” _builder_version=”3.25″ background_size=”initial” background_position=”top_left” background_repeat=”repeat”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”3.25″ custom_padding=”|||” custom_padding__hover=”|||”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.9.4″ _module_preset=”default”] What is Hemophilia? Hemophilia is a rare condition in which the blood fails to clot properly due to a lack of blood-clotting proteins (clotting factors). If you have haemophilia, you can bleed for a longer period of time after an injury than if your blood clotted normally. Small cuts are typically not a big deal. World Hemophilia Day World Hemophilia Day is an international day to raise awareness of haemophilia and other bleeding disorders. It is held each year on April 17, the birthday of Frank Schnabel, the founder of the World Federation of Hemophilia. Since 1989, World Hemophilia Day has brought together the whole bleeding disorders community to celebrate the ongoing developments in treatment while also raising awareness and bringing understanding and attention to problems related to proper care to the general public. Managing Treatment in a New World: Adapting to Change The aim of World Hemophilia Day is to bring the global bleeding disorders community together. With the COVID-19 pandemic wreaking havoc on people with bleeding disorders, the goal has never been more critical. The world has changed dramatically in the last year, but one thing has remained constant: we are all in this together. Join us on April 17, 2021, and tell us how you’ve adapted to change during this extraordinary period, and how you’re working hard to help sustain treatment in a new world!

He warmly greeted Dr. SM Balaji who was also an invitee at the Conclave. They discussed many issues that were related to the healthcare system of the Republic of Maldives. High Praise for Dr. SM Balaji’s contributions to the Island Nation During their interaction, the Hon’ble Abdulla Shahid recalled Dr. SM Balaji’s contribution through his free surgical missions to the island nation’s hospitals, including IGMH and Hulhumale Hospital in Male, Gan Regional Hospital in Gan and other regional hospitals at Kulhudhuffushi, Addu and various other atolls. He spoke about the transformation of the lives of children and young adults with craniofacial birth deformities at these government hospitals after corrective surgery by Dr. SM Balaji. He also emphasized Dr. SM Balaji’s contribution to the Maldivian Healthcare System, which included writing an oral healthcare book entirely in Dhivehi, the Maldivian language. Dr. SM Balaji interacts with various Dignitaries at the India Today Conclave Dr. SM Balaji also met with Mr. Shashi Tharoor, Congress MP & Former Minister of State for Human Resource Development, Mr. Ram Madhav, Former National General Secretary, Bharatiya Janata Party and Mr. Rahul Kanwal of India Today who moderated the discussions at the conclave. Minister visits Dr. SM Balaji at Balaji Dental and Craniofacial Hospital, Chennai During the course of his visit to Chennai, Hon’ble Abdulla Shahid paid a visit to Balaji Dental and Craniofacial Hospital, which is a leading, Chennai-based surgical centre for Craniofacial Surgery. He visited a recuperating Maldivian child who had undergone surgery with Dr. SM Balaji. The young child, as an infant, had a rare, rapidly enlarging tumor called Cemento-ossifying fibroma of both the upper and lower jaws. Use of Cutting Edge Technological Advances for the Treatment of the Child Many international medical facilities had turned away the parents due to the complexity of the child’s clinical presentation. Dr. SM Balaji took him under his care, removed the tumour and successfully rehabilitated him. To create a new jaw, he used novel tissue growth guiding proteins – rhBMP2. The lower jaw was successfully completed some time ago and the upper jaw was revised to accommodate the child’s growth. The Hon’ble minister expressed his heartfelt admiration for the child and congratulated him on his recovery from the ordeal. He also conveyed his sincere appreciation to Dr. SM Balaji for readily providing help to the young Maldivian child, assisting him in conquering the disease and enabling him to lead a normal life.

COVID-19 Prevention Vaccination

[et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ admin_label=”section” _builder_version=”3.22″][et_pb_row admin_label=”row” _builder_version=”3.25″ background_size=”initial” background_position=”top_left” background_repeat=”repeat”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”3.25″ custom_padding=”|||” custom_padding__hover=”|||”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.9.0″ _module_preset=”default”] Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) is an infectious disease caused by a newly discovered coronavirus virus. Most people infected with the COVID-19 virus will develop mild to moderate respiratory disease and recover without needing special care. Older people and those with underlying medical conditions such as cardiovascular disease, diabetes, chronic respiratory disease and cancer are more likely to develop severe illnesses. The best way to avoid and delay transmission is to be well informed about the COVID-19 virus, the disease it causes and how it spreads. Protect yourself and others from contamination by washing your hands or using alcohol-based rubbing regularly and not touching your skin. COVID-19 Vaccination Happy to share that just now have been vaccinated as a part of the COVID19 prevention vaccination drive, initiated today. On the auspicious inaugural edition of COVISHIELD inoculation across India today, Prof. Dr. SM Balaji was one of the very few doctors to be given the first dose of the vaccine on the morning of 16 January 2021. The vaccine is the most reliable, safest, and efficient product and the crowning part is it is part of the Made in India. Also, very happy to note that the vaccine will be delivered to frontline workers across the nation soon. We hope that the COVID-19 pandemic ends soon and Indian vaccines would be a tool against the virus [/et_pb_text][/et_pb_column][/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.7.4″ _module_preset=”default”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.7.4″ _module_preset=”default”][et_pb_image src=”https://www.smbalaji.com//wp-content/uploads/2021/01/Covid-19-Vaccination-dr-sm-balaji.jpg” alt=”COVID-19 Prevention Vaccination Drive” title_text=”Covid-19-Vaccination-dr-sm-balaji” _builder_version=”4.7.4″ _module_preset=”default”][/et_pb_image][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.9.0″ _module_preset=”default”] Covishield Oxford-AstraZeneca vaccine is developed locally by the Serum Institute of India, the world’s largest manufacturer of vaccines. It is said to generate more than 50 million doses a month. The vaccine, known as Covishield, is made from a weakened strain of the common cold virus (known as adenovirus) from chimpanzees. It has been tweaked to look more like coronavirus-though it can’t cause illness. When the vaccine is administered into a patient, the immune system is activated to start producing antibodies and to start fighting any coronavirus infection. Jab is administered in two doses between four and 12 weeks apart. It can be kept safely at temperatures between 2 degrees celsius and 8 degrees celcius, roughly the same as a domestic refrigerator, and can be delivered in current healthcare settings such as medical surgeries. This makes it easier to distribute than any other vaccines. Jab developed by Pfizer-BioNTech, which is currently administered in many countries, must be stored at-70 degrees celsius and can only be transferred a limited number of times-a specific challenge in India, where summer temperatures can exceed 50 degrees celsius.
