FRANCISCO COLACO Sub : This has reference to the letter dt. 18th Dec, 2014, by Dr. Francisco Colaco in one the section of Press on 'OVERCHARGING PATIENTS" jc's COMMENT: Dr. Francisco Colaco is a senior specialist physician based in Goa. He took the trouble to write a letter to the Heraldo about the exorbitant amounts allegedly charged for patient care by certain hospitals. He also made reference to a possible attempt to extract funds from a patient for a procedure the patient allegedly did not need. Unfortunately, Dr. Francisco Colaco neither named the hospital nor the doctor who attempted coercion. If he had, patients who do due diligence would have had the opportunity to review for themselves. I submit that it is the responsibility of senior physicians to follow such matters up with the Medical Association and at Conferences. The benefit of this would also be that the 'accused' hospital would / would not be able to defend itself by way of CPT (procedural) codes of what needed to be done in a case of an emergency. These can be reviewed by a select team of impartial physicians. As far as Stephen Dias' 'Open Letter to Dr. Francisco Colaco' is concerned, I will only state the following: a: What on earth are "Crack" doctors? b: Why would any one (Adv. Rui Ferreira included) seek attention at a hospital for a "minor illness"? c: I wonder if Mr. Dias knows the meaning of the term 'Offence'. In conclusion: 1: Private medical care is expensive 2: Private hospital care is even more expensive 3: It is incumbent upon the patient to check the costs before he/she checks into a hospital 4: Do NOT use hospitals for minor illnesses - unless you can afford the costs. Remember, it is NOT the duration of time one spends in the hospital BUT what has to be done and is done while one is there. 5: Please ask the genius who moved the hospital from Panjim to Bambolim: HELLO where is the hospital for the capital city? 6: There is NO WAY that the private hospitals would last a week IF the care in the public hospitals was Competent, Caring and Clean. jc http://www.heraldgoa.in/Edit/Letters/Corporate-hospitals-overcharging-patients/82355.html Corporate hospitals overcharging patients By Dr. Francisco Colaco, Margao | 18 Dec, 2014, 11:42PM IST The advent of corporate hospitals in Goa has brought good tidings; regrettably, however, it has led to rampant commercialization and overcharging of patients. Recently, a patient of mine from Siridao, who had a bout of paroxysmal tachycardia, was admitted to a well known private hospital in Goa during an emergency. His tachycardia was aborted with intravenous diltiazem. He stayed just for one day and his total bill was a whopping Rs 30,000. What is more disturbing is the fact that he was being further pressed for a coronary angiography which was unnecessary and unjustified in this patient. Wisely, the patient, sought discharge against medical advice, despite intense pressure to stay on. It must be said that on earlier occasions this very patient was tackled for the very same condition at the GMC and he did not have to spend more than Rs 1000 each time. Presently, the patient under consideration is leaving for Mumbai for radiofrequency ablation which is the definitive treatment (not available in Goa). He is ready to beg and borrow for a new lease of life. Sometime ago one of our most respected and senior most ENT surgeons from Goa was admitted for one day at the same hospital for Vivax Malaria. His bill? A hefty Rs. 17,000. Despite the fact that the most ethical and respected doctor, his consultant, forfeited his own charges! Months ago, a patient with urinary retention was admitted, again at the same hospital. After catheterization he was discharged after having had to pay an unbelievable amount of Rs. 20, 000. No surgical procedure was carried out. Ever since corporate hospitals have invaded Goa there has been a spurt of charges that are exorbitant and unacceptable. The whole medical scenario in Goa is experiencing a dramatic change. It is time the Government steps in to monitor the fees.
[Goanet] Subject: OVERCHARGING PATIENTS
Regarding the subject of overcharging patients, its become a common norm that doctors charge nothing less than 200 - 300 in Goa with no receipts. Even the follow up visit is charged, which should be free to see the progress of the medicines prescribed. But who to complaint these matters? I had been in Mumbai for few days and happened to visit three doctors there, and I was zapped beyond words, when the charges were Rs 50 and less by all these three doctors. It made me wonder if I was really with some doctors in Mumbai. This was all at Mira Road in Mumbai. Jerry Fernandes Subject: [Goanet] OVERCHARGING PATIENTS Message-ID: Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 OPEN LETTER TO DR. FRANCISCO COLACO Sub : This has reference to the letter dt. 18th Dec, 2014, by Dr. Francisco Colaco in one the section of Press on 'OVERCHARGING PATIENTS" You are not the only person who have come across to such disparities on overcharging fees by a private Hospital at North Goa, but I still remember that a friend of mine Adv. Rui Ferreira telling me that he too had met a similar treatment in one of the private Hospital at Campal -Panjim for overcharging fees to his relative for a minor sickness. Many such cases are found in Goa with such atrocities on overcharging fees by private Hospitals. It has become a trend by most of the doctors charging consultation fees of not less than Rs. 200/- per patient but in case he comes to know that the patient is rich or coming from abroad (Dubai), the charges shoots up further. Also the next consultation for the same illness the fees are being charged. Even they are been charged for any investigation report is shown in the next day. What a common man will do if such offences are continuing by these private doctors in Goa? Where is the Medical Council or any Govt Medical Authority or in that respect the Minister of Health is looking for? There is no control, and still worst that we have crack doctors mushrooming in Goa, with no permission from Medical Council but having clinics all around the city who get quite number of patients because their consultation fees are much less than a qualified doctor. Will the Health Minister of Goa, Adv. Francisco D'Sousa will be able to understand such disparities where the patients are been put in heavy financial loss? Thank God that the GMC Hospital at Bambolim, is much better now, but there is still a scope to further improve. We also noticed that there is a pilferage on medicines and treatment on surgeries above the limits of a common mam as the Govt exchequer is being affected. It is high time that present Health Minister regulates all these atrocities and put an end all these illegalities going on in the state of Goa which includes private consultation by the Govt doctors.

[Goanet] Fwd: Sesa clinch victory at the death
Sesa clinch victory at the death Sesa Football Academy narrowly overcame Sporting Clube de Goa 2-1 in the Aiff’s U-19 I-League, at Duler Stadium, Mapusa, on Friday. The match was tied 1-1 at the lemon break. Sesa drew first blood in the 34th minute when striker Aaren D’Silva breached the opposition defence to pump the ball home. The lead barely lasted five minutes as Sporting Goa drew level when Manuel Fernandes jumped unopposed at the back post to head in from a flag kick. After the breather the game got intense as both teams went in search of the winner. In the dying minutes, Sporting Goa was reduced to ten men as Ganesh Thakur was momentarily receiving treatment on the touchline. Sesa took the advantage and Avrishto Fernandes headed in to secure the three points for Sesa. PHOTO: A Sporting Clube de Goa and Sesa player jump high to win the aerial ball.

[Goanet] On the 53rd anniversary of India's annexation of Goa
On the 53rd anniversary of the demise of the Estado da India, I am taking the liberty of re-posting this short essay written for Caravan Magazine in 2011. http://www.caravanmagazine.in/perspectives/goa%E2%80%99s-golden-jubilee EXACTLY 50 YEARS AGO, world attention pivoted to focus on Goa and the 451-year-old Estado Português da Índia, the last remaining colonial possession on the subcontinent. >From the point of view of the Indian Union, the lingering European presence had become a prestige issue that demanded quick resolution—“just a pimple on the face of India”, in Nehru’s infelicitous phrase. Eventually, as 1961 drew to a close, the Indian prime minister had had enough. To the international press, he declared, “Continuance of Goa under Portuguese rule is an impossibility.” But the Portuguese had no intention of budging. António de Oliveira Salazar, the arch-conservative dictator who had comfortably held power for almost three decades, was confident he could stave off an invasion by getting the US and other Western countries to back an audacious plan for NATO to set up a military and naval base of operations in Goa. Salazar sent a series of frantic messages to Manuel António Vassalo e Silva, the last governor-general of the Estado Português da Índia, demanding that his (mainly African-Portuguese) troops fight to the last man—a suicide mission that he believed would buy enough time for Portugal to rally international support against the Indian invasion that everyone knew was coming. On 14 December 1961, Salazar wrote: "You understand the bitterness with which I send you this message. It is horrible to think that this may mean total sacrifice, but I believe that sacrifice is the only way for us to keep up to the highest traditions and provide service to the future of the Nation. Do not expect the possibility of truce or of Portuguese prisoners, as there will be no surrender rendered because I feel that our soldiers and sailors can be either victorious or dead. These words could, by their seriousness, be directed only to a soldier of higher duties fully prepared to fulfill them. God will not allow you to be the last Governor of the State of India." Just four days later, under the command of Air Vice Marshal Erlic Wilmot Pinto (himself a Goan), the Indian aerial bombardment of Dabolim airport commenced. By 10 pm on 18 December 1961, the Portuguese high command—which had wisely ignored Salazar’s insane instructions—was already negotiating total surrender. The next morning, the Indian Army marched into Panaji without facing any resistance, and promptly raised the Indian tricolour above the fabled Palacio de Idalçao, once the seat of power for the colonial administration of the entire Portuguese maritime empire, from Mozambique to Malacca. Vassalo e Silva, who had also ignored Salazar’s crazed order to comprehensively destroy the infrastructure of the state, was quickly taken into Indian custody, and eventually returned to Portugal in disgrace. The annexation of Goa was complete. A storm of protest was then raised at the United Nations Security Council, where a resolution condemning India was vetoed at the last minute by the Soviet Union. But the military solution to Goa’s plight also came in for severe criticism from many prominent Indians, including ardent nationalists like the Goan painter FN Souza. The brilliant Goan writer Dom Moraes even surrendered his Indian passport in a kind of symbolic protest—not about Goa joining the Indian Union (which he supported) but about the way it had happened. Looking back, in his Never at Home: An Autobiography (1994), Moraes wrote: "Another reason for the sudden movement of troops was that KV Krishna Menon, the Defence Minister of India, and one of Nehru’s pets, was at the time in a very bad odour. Chinese attacks on Indian patrols and border-posts in 1959, a precursor to full-scale hostilities in 1962, had found the military entirely unprepared, and this had been blamed wholly on him. At one point all three chiefs-of-staff had resigned in protest against his attitude. Krishna Menon was about to stand for election, and a victory in Goa, which was predictable, would raise him in public esteem. So the Indian Army went in, and conquered." As Moraes instinctively gathered, the specific circumstances of annexation were a disaster for Goans. Even though the majority of the populace had long been vehemently in favour of joining the Indian Union (as the Portuguese had themselves found in surveys prior to 1961), the territory was still subjected to a humiliating military occupation in the wake of annexation, which continued the colonial experience of being ruled from a distant centre, with local interests and concerns marginalised to favour those of the conqueror. Westernised Goans found themselves treated with suspicion by equally Westernised Delhiwalas. Their complex culture and identity became slurred as insufficiently Indian in the popular mainstream imagination,
[Goanet] GFDO Press Statement
Responding to the Chief Minister’s appeal to “people, especially activists, not to raise unnecessary objections” to projects like the Mopa Airport and Tiracol private hotel, GFDO appealed to the state government, especially the Chief Minister not to impose unnecessary and massive projects on tiny Goa, involving huge tracts of scarce and valuable land. The hollowness of the Chief Minister’s claim that his government is truly “committed to promoting pollution free and environmental friendly projects in the state, has been exposed by his government’s resounding silence to the concerns raised by the people regarding both these projects in terms of viability, environmental concerns and even potential for jobs for Goans that he claims is the justification for these unnecessary projects that they allege will cause irreversible damage to the state. The people are stakeholders in the state, and governments are only caretakers for a period of five years. The government’s wrong decisions, especially regarding these massive projects, wherein land is snatched from ordinary local Goans and practically gifted to vested real estate sharks could result in irreversible damage to the state, its ecology and its people. Once again, GFDO throws an open challenge to Chief Minister Parsekar to engage in an open debate regarding the merits and the dangers of the Mopa Airport project. If the Chief Minister and his government are so convinced about the benefits of these projects for future generations of Goans, then why the reluctance to enter into a dialogue with the real stakeholders of the land – the people of Goa who have been raising concerns over these massive projects for the last two years? Referring to the Civil Aviation Minister of State Dr. Mahesh Sharma’s strange and inexplicable statement in the Rajya Sabha that “Union Cabinet’s decision regarding closure of existing Dabolim airport at Goa might be reviewed so as to permit the continuance of Dabolim for civilian operations even after the commissioning of the new international airport at Mopa,” GFDO said that this was a distressing revelation of the inefficient and careless functioning of the NDA(2) government, which was not even aware that the previous UPA government had already reviewed and reversed the decision to close down Dabolim Airport taken by the preceding NDA(1) government. GFDO said that in any case, reviews of decisions by successive governments were irrelevant and would not be the deciding factor if Dabolim Airport was to be kept open. Goa’s air traffic, which Aviation experts have deemed insufficient to sustain two airports, and the development of new and existing airports at Chipi, Belgaum, Karwar, Hubli and Kolhapur would definitely ensure that the government airport of Dabolim would have to be closed down if Mopa was ever commissioned. Therefore, GFDO warned the people not to get confused by the government’s pretense of reviewing and reversing a decision that had in fact already been reviewed and reversed. GFDO also calls upon the people of Goa to be alert and observe how “Union Cabinets” are capable of reviewing the decisions of previous governments and thus go on bluffing the people by covering up the real and unpalatable truth that two airports are in fact, unviable in Goa.

[Goanet] PANAJI NEEDS TO BE LIBERATED FROM MANOHAR PARRIKAR
The Press conference scheduled for December 21st at Azad Maidan stands postponed and the new date will be intimated. An extensive consultation process is currently underway with the voters of Panaji on the road map ahead and the manifesto to liberate Panaji from Manohar Parrikar who has taken the constituents on a jolly good ride for 20 long years. Promised Goa the moon but duped us with unending U turns. The ensuing fierce battle for Panaji 2015 has to be against Manohar Parrikar dead on. He should be our target and not any of his ‘chaprasi’ that he may field in an attempt to impose on the people of Panaji. The true face of Manohar Parrikar needs to be exposed as he has a lot to answer on the utter mess he has left Goa and Panaji in particular. There can be no room for Corruption, Communalism and Casteism, a stinking trail of which Manohar Parrikar has left behind. Together we can achieve the impossible for the sake of Panaji and Goa at large. Thank you for your continued support.
