Which corporate hospital in Hyderabad has the best Facebook Cover image? “Integrity is the ability to stand by an idea.” ― Ayn Rand, The Fountainhead Most of you thought it is Apollo Health City's Facebook cover image but it's not. Surprised? Read on. Though Apollo Health City Facebook page has 65k followers, using a generic campaign creative on its cardiac treatment expertise looks vague. My feeling is that either a patient or a star heart transplant surgeon should have been at the heart of the cover image. In case of the latter, my bet is on Dr Alla Gopala Krishna Gokhale, Cardio Thoracic Surgeon, who could have been featured instead but the management may be wary of a doctor becoming bigger than the hospital. This creative goes well with the violet color of Care Hospitals but the designer should have run a spell-check on November! By the way, lung cancer being the most common cancer in Indian men could be factually incorrect. It s...
MTAL rejoice over slashing GST rates for lenscare
The Medical Technology Association of India (MTaI) has expressed happiness over the slashing of GST rates for lenscare solution by the government from 28% to 18%.
While terming it a positive movement forward and in line with the recommendations the MTal made, they expressed hope that the process of removing the rate anomaly would continue further.
In fact, they expect eventually these rates would be further reduced to 12% slab in alignment with Contact Lens GST rate as that would augment consumer adoption of this product.
"We also acknowledge with thanks the correction made to the HSN classification for Intraocular lens in line with the internationally accepted code at the behest of representations made by MTaI, as the industry has been facing challenges in clearance of goods from customs and was having to pay an undeserved Basic Customs Duty of 2.5%," the MTaI said in a statement.
In their statement, they expressed hope that the slashing of the GST rates will go a long way to help restore business confidence, lower the prices for consumers, while at the same time facilitate ease of doing business for the trading community by way of reduced compliance requirements and associated costs.
"The Government has signaled willingness to make GST successful and we hope to see more such confidence-building measures being announced by GST Council in other areas related to transition and rate fixation in consultation with Industry/Trade bodies. MTaI is constantly engaged with the GST Council in this regard," they said in the statement.

Adopt & Forget: Telangana adopted Clinical Establishments Act, 2010 but it remains on Paper
If Shakespeare were alive today, he would have tried find a living example for his phrase 'Much Ado About Nothing' in Telangana government's formal adoption of Clinical Establishments (Registration and Regulation) Act, 2010. The Central Act was adopted by Telangana state government without much fanfare but nobody has given a thought to apply its provisions in letter and spirit yet. Under its new rules, hospitals are required to follow minimum standard facilities and services should be necessary in every hospital. Those starting new hospitals are required to apply for registration and even it's done through online. The original Act came into effect directly in 10 states - Sikkim, Mizoram, Arunachal Pradesh, Himachal Pradesh, Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, Jharkhand, Rajasthan Uttarakhand and Assam and all Union Territories except Delhi - but gradually other states started adopting the central Act by invoking clause (1) of Article 252 of the...
