SatyamevJayate

Satyameva Jayathe in Telugu : "Most people dream of a lavish wedding but the reality in India is that expensive wedding celebrations and heavy dowry demands end up making brides' lives miserable and ruining their families. The very concept of marriage has been turned into a transaction, with no value placed on the people or the relationship. But this can change, and it is up to girls and their families tosay NO to dowry, to insist on
simple ceremonies and restore the sanctity of the wedding bond. The SMS Question which Aamir Khan asks in this episode is - " "Do you think marriages have become a business transaction in our country today?""

Satyameva Jayathe : People with disabilities have the same zeal and appreciation for life as the rest of us do. But they often get shunned, doubted, mocked and insulted. Access to public places and buildings is restricted and doors are closed for schooling and employment. India does not appear to be mature enough and understanding enough to recognise people with disabilities for what they are- people.

Satyameva Jayathe in Telugu : The simple act offalling in love opens up a world of emotions and reactions which sometimesculminate in crime, the death of the couple. Even if they escape death, lovers who go against religious and community barriers still have to face harassment and censure from society and, due to this pressure, rejection from their families

Satyameva Jayathe in Telugu - For countless women, entering married life often means the beginning of a stressful, violent existence. Beating one's wife seems to be ingrained in many men's mindsets as the appropriate behaviour for a strong male, but the consequences are misery for the wife and children, and often a broken, unhappy home. The concept of domestic violence is based on the notion of patriarchy, which needs to be converted into equality.

New Delhi: With medical students as audience members, fourth episode of Aamir Khan’s television show 'Satyamev Jayate' focused on health care services in our country. Aamir’s guests on the show included doctors, victims and families who lost their loved ones due to negligence of doctors.

The show started with the story of VS Venkatesh who had to go thorough four surgeries because of an infection in his leg. He later got to know that the entire process that has cost him Rs 2 lakh was unnecessary and his infection could have been treated with medicines. Arvind Kumar from Hyderabad was kept in ICU for three days and was advised a surgery when all he needed was an ORS packet.
Is this mere negligence or we should call it a fraud? In a country where doctors are considered equivalent to God, the list of such cases is unending. Major Pankaj Rai’s wife Seema was suffering from a kidney ailment. Without her family’s permission, doctors took her to the operation theatre for kidney and pancreas transplant. Rai had to pay Rs 8.25 lakh for the surgery and Seema lost her life too. Doctors didn’t even inform the family about her demise and the switched off their mobile phones.

Dr Anil Pichad from Mumbai who owns a pathology lab revealed that he used to overcharge patients for tests as he had to pay commission to the doctors. After he went through a personal tragedy, he realized his mistake. He has stopped bribing the doctors now and takes nominal charges from patients.

It was surprising to know that many women in Kowdipally village of Andhra Pradesh were asked to get their uterus removed. The operation is expensive and the farmers had to sell their land or take loans for it. In most of the cases, the surgery wasn’t needed.

Major General (Retd) Som Jhingon, former Medical Council of India chief revealed that for medical colleges it’s only about making money. He tried to run MCI in a disciplined way, but when he failed to do so, he resigned after a year. Dr KK Talwar, Chairman, Board of Governors, Medical Council of India revealed that since 2008 there is not even one case where the license of a doctor have been cancelled. Dr Talwar had no satisfying reply to Aamir’s questions.

Dr CM Gulhati, Editor, Monthly Index of Medical Specialties says that health services aren’t a priority in India. He said the government should spend at least six percent of the GDP on the health services.

At the same time there are doctors who are trying to help poor people in getting better medical services. Dr Devi Prasad Shetty, founder and chairman, Narayan Hrudayalaya group of hospitals, Bengaluru revealed that under their Yashswani scheme every farmer pays Rs 10 per month and government adds Rs 30 to it annually. Dr Shetty explained how his group of hospitals has brought medical services in the reach of poor people.

Dr Samit Sharma, IAS, Managing Director, Rajasthan Medical Services Corporation was Aamir’s next guest. He revealed that the actual cost of medicines is pretty low, but they are sold on much higher prices. According to WHO, 65 percent of Indian population still doesn’t have access to basic medicines. Dr Sharma says that they have started generic medical stores in Rajasthan, which provide medicines on actual cost. A packet of blood cancer medicine costs Rs 1.25 lakh usually. Same generic medicines can be bought in less than Rs 10,000.

The previous episodes of the show focused on social issues like female foeticide, child sexual abuse and dowry system. Unlike the previous episodes of ‘Satyamev Jayate’, this episode wasn’t high on emotional drama. Aamir raised a very important topic this time and the show was packaged well. Let’s wait and watch how the show scores on the TRP scale this time.

Satyamev Jayate Episode 4 : The intelligent actor casts light on a slew of scandalous exercises ailing our healthcare system
 
Low on tears but high on shocking value, Satyamev Jayate’s fourth episode dealt with horrendous medical practices forthrightly. Right from the deceitful ‘Basin’ blood test to the ‘cut percentage’ offered by pharmaceutical companies, and from astronomical fees students have to pay to pursue medicine to drug mafias casting a wicked web of incentives to pocket more profits-Aamir Khan daringly portrayed a vicious cycle that is deteriorating our basic healthcare system without pointing an accusing finger at anyone. Not once did he condemn the government or any medical body and yet he made the required impact without being preachy.

Aamir started the show on an interactive note. The 47-year-old asked the young medicine professionals and students from the audience their real intent behind perusing medicines. “Be healers rather than being just profit seeking experts,” urgeed Khan.

Satyamev Jayate brought to light the shocking cases of a number of people who have suffered at the hands of fraud doctors. It also showed how a paltry 1.4 % of our total GDP is utilised by the government to look after the health of our massive population. On the positive side, Dr Shetty introduced the low cost insurance policy, an innovative scheme which can avail any treatment or any medical facility to the commonest denominator of our society.

Aamir also introduced and promoted the unique concept of generic drugs. The show, in totality, focused on how our healthcare system can gear up, take initiatives to bring about some positive changes in its functioning and provide the required medical treatments or facilities to everyone without discrimination. After all, medicine is a profession and even a doctor can err, but if one does one’s job with integrity and with a clear conscience, he can earn equally good money without disrupting the social and moral fabric of society. Satyamev Jayate’s fourth episode managed to drive that message home with gusto!

The fourth episode of Satyamev Jayate dealt with medical malpractice. Aamir Khan’s show had earlier dealt with burning issues like female foeticide and child sex abuse which had actually seen a somnolent government pass the child sex abuse bill and take various measures to curb female infanticide.

The fourth episode highlighted the various issues that ails patients in India and the unscrupulous practises of doctors. India is a nation where almost 60% of all medical expenses are out-of-pocket, highlighting the need for a better healthcare system. The show shed light on various issues dealing with medical malpractice; a family who lost their loved one due to a forced surgery and medical cases where patients were misled about their ailment. To understand how the Medical Council of India dealt with such issues, Aamir spoke to Dr Talwar. He also highlighted the fact there are no stringent measures to deal with miscreant doctors and an RTI filed by the Satyamev Jayate team showed that not a single doctor’s licence to practice – had been cancelled since 2008 – clear proof that there are no consequences for medical malpractice.

Retired Major General Jhingon shared the tales of blatant corruption in the MCI and reckoned it was all about the money.  The show also highlighted the trauma of women in Andhra Pradesh who were forced to undergo uterus operations without any reason.  He also discussed at length the availability of generic medicines (something which the health minister Ghulam Nabi Azad had actually promised would be available at all public health facilities free of cost) with Dr Shamit Sharma from Rajasthan who said that these medicines were no different from the branded medicines produced by big pharmas. The show also talked to Dr Devi Shetty, whose Yeshasvini healthcare scheme looks to provide affordable healthcare to the poor and Dr Gulati who urged the government to prioritise health schemes so that even the poor could lead a healthy life. Although this year’s budget claimed that it had allocated more on healthcare spending (Rs.26,897 cr to Rs. 30,702 cr an increase of 14%), there’s evidence that the  full amount allocated during the previous budget wasn’t even spent!

In all there were various other health related issues which perhaps would lie outside the scope of this episode but which we as a health site have covered in the past and would like to bring to your attention:

    The high number of infant deaths in J & K and West Bengal hospitals.
    The fact that AIIMS, the country’s premier medical institution is severely understaffed!
    The irregularities in the running of the CDSCO (drug control agency) be it the lack of quality or quantity of   drug inspectors.
    The fact that drugs are being approved without clinical trials.
    The alleged nexus between big pharmas, doctors and drug control agencies.
    Like the National Rural Health Mission which aims to provide healthcare to the rural poor, the government had planned to launch a National Urban Health Mission which looked to provide healthcare services to the urban poor but it still hasn’t been launched.

So health.india.com readers do share with us any other instances of medical malpractice that you’ve encountered or if you’ve any solutions that could improve healthcare services.

People trust medical practitioners, believing that they are equipped with the knowledge and skills to safeguard their health. But when this knowledge is misused to exploit this trust, medical care becomes a nightmare. The profession is riddled with unscrupulous doctors and hospitals out to make big bucks at the cost of patients, but there are still medical practitioners who stand up for the Hippocratic Oath, and those who want to clean up the profession.

90 million people watched episode one of Aamir Khan's Satyamev Jayate making it the highest rated show with a 4.1 television rating (TVR), according to Television Audience Measurement (TAM) data.

The first episode, which talked about female foeticide, reached out to 2.67 crore viewers, reported TAM. This, extrapolated to an all India (including urban and rural viewers) reach with Indian Readership Survey (IRS), means that over 90 million viewers tuned in to watch the episode.

Satyamev Jayate recorded a 4.1 TVR (TAM, All India that includes viewers over four years old) debuting ahead of Kaun Banega Crorepati 5, which registered a 3.5 TVR in 2011. The data covered the entire Indian market, including cable and terrestrial homes, where only DD is beamed.

The first episode of Satyamev Jayate was broadcast on May 6 in eight languages on nine channels, including seven STAR TV network channels, ETV Telugu and national broadcaster DD1.
The numbers just add to the overwhelming positive sentiment from ordinary viewers and testimonials from celebrities. It has generated much buzz on the internet with Satyamev Jayate becoming more popular than host Aamir on search engine Google India. It also trended on Twitter, occupying the top five slots out of 10.

The first episode also prompted a reaction from the Rajasthan government, with chief minister Ashok Gehlot promising to set up a fast track court which would resolve pending cases of female foeticide and illegal sex determination tests in the state.

Aamir’s Khan’s debut on television Satyamev Jayate has managed to hit the right chord with the viewers. The fact that its official website crashed immediately after the first episode on female foeticide owing to the large number of hits proves that.

The actor not only ensured that the audience remained glued to television for more than an hour on Sunday mornings but also received instant response.

The issues of female foeticide and child sexual abuse – are not new to the country and Aamir is the right choice because he has time and again raised his voice for issues concerning the common man.

For his television debut too, he chose to come with a show based on hard-hitting reality. The two episodes have undoubtedly been a hit but is it because of Aamir’s presence or the issues that he has touched? Known for giving more than 100 per cent, how does Aamir fare as an anchor? Metrolife spoke to some people to get their views.

Kamya Bhagat, a school teacher, finds Aamir a ‘super-duper hit’ as a host largely because of picking up the issues that every common man can relate to. “Aamir is very versatile. Till now whatever he has done is up to the mark. He is equally good and natural in his television show also. Had any other actor been doing anchoring in the same emotional manner, I am not sure if it would have been liked. But it suits Aamir because he has always been vocal on issues through films too,” she says.

Irrespective of age and gender bar, people are supporting the causes and appreciating Aamir, for unlike other Hindi film stars, he has chosen to associate himself with not just any entertainment-based reality show even though the concept is not that novel. Shekhar Tandon, sales manager in JVC says his performance as an anchor is not great as one would have expected from Aamir Khan but that doesn’t matter because the concept is good and for a cause. “We have had such shows before also but it certainly makes a difference when Aamir speaks on the same subjects. Everybody wants to see it and actually saw it because of Aamir.
“As an anchor he is good but not brilliant. I had much higher expectations from him,” he adds.

Citing examples of the kind of off and on screen roles of Aamir lately, people are also unanimous that this kind of show would not have suited any other actor except him, not even Amitabh Bachchan.

It would not be wrong to say that the USP of the show is Aamir more than the content and that is the way it was promoted before it went on air. “Anchoring KBC would not suit him. In fact, among the big stars, Aamir is the best person to anchor a show like this. He has done issue-based films which have logic and the show follows the thought progression,” says Nitin Bhojwani, a realtor.

Sachin Oberoi, a governm­e­nt employee, seconds Nitin, “It suits his reel and real personality. It’s not easy for people to come and speak publicly about their plight and it’s not easy either to interact gracefully with victims. But Aamir is doing it well as he genuinely feels for issues and victims.”

Aamir Khan’s Satyamev Jayate more popular than Kaun Banega crorepati

Aamir Khan’s Satyamev Jayate’s first episode which dealt with female foeticide  attracted 90 million viewers countrywide. According to Television Audience Measurement (TAM)  just after the fist episode  Satyamev jayate  has become the highest rated show with the 4.1 television rating (TVR).  The reports are that Satyamev jayate has become more popular than it’s host Aamir Khan among both rural and urban audience. The pilot  episode reached out to 2.67 crore viewers in India which is far more than the reach of any other Indian television show. For its debut show Satyamev Jayate recorded a 4.1 TVR as compared to 3.5 TVR of  Kaun Banega Crorepati 5 in 2011.

The host of the show Aamir Khan had made it point that the show should reach maximum people in India. For these reasons the first episode was launched in eight languages  on nine channels, including seven STAR TV network channels, ETV Telugu and national broadcaster DD1.

Three days after the show was aired, the Madhya Pradesh Health Department suspended the licences of 65 Medical Termination of Pregnancy centres for not submitting their reports on the prescribed form. Meanwhile, Rajasthan”s Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot  has also promised to set fast track courts to resolve the pending female foeticide cases.

Receiving  a positive feedback after the pilot episode that tackled the sensitive  subject of female foeticide both in rural and urban India, the second episode which aired on May 13  dealt with even more explosive  subject of child abuse.  The way ” Satyamev Jayate ‘ is going we hope to see  Aamir Khan bringing more and more such issue to the fore which have been plaguing the Indian society for long.
