Chairman, Dr. V. Varadharajan, NHB Convener, Dr. R. Anburajan, NHB Secretary
and Dr. R. Rengaraj, IMANHB Treasurer

DearAll, Greetings from NHB IMATNSB!

The following were the activities of the NHB during this quarter.

MINIMUM WAGES : Regarding this myself and Dr. S. Karthick Prabhu, Chairman,
NHB IMA TNSB on Tuesday i.e. 22.11.2022 went with a representation to meet the
Hon'ble Miinister of Labour Welfare and Skill development Mr. C.V. Ganesan, Labour
Commissioner andAdditional Chief Secretary. We gave our Memorandum.

64

We have finally got the GO regarding the Minimum Wages, GO (D) No. 506,
dated : 17.10.2022. For the time being this GO is enough for our members to face the
Labour Department related problems regarding minimum wages.

We, from NHB are continuously giving our representations and meeting the
Labour officials and the Ministers. From the day one from when the problem arised and
were a part of the Previous Committee. 80% of the work was finished and the revised
order was about to be released after one or two meetings.

INSURANCE : We have planned to hold a high-level Insurance Conference and meet all
the Insurance companies soon.

We have given our representation on this as well to the Hon'ble Health Minister
Mr. Ma. Subramanian, Health Secretary and The project Director, CMCHIS. We insisted
about our long pending need from our Member Hospitals regarding Government
Insurances under various schemes to be revised, as the charges are very low for the
Hospitals. And made them understand on the hurdles and pain our member Hospitals are
going through. And mentioned about the Pre-approval payments which are getting
delayed from the Insurance companies even after the completion of Medical
Managements & Surgeries. And about the denial of payment after giving final approval
also putting us into a big trouble. Asked them to include IMA& NHB Members in the
committee, as 70% of Healthcare for the people in Tamilnadu attended by Private Sectors.

BMWM : It has been decided to ask the Facilitators to maintain the rates already
announced by the Coordination Committee. Every hospital should sensitize their hospital
staff for proper segregation of BMW. We are taking steps to eliminate pure consulting
rooms from consent and authorization.
SOLID WASTE MANAGEMENT : To have a facilitator meet soon

Appointment of Dist. Coordinators : 37 District Coordinators were selected and
introduced. 1 district remains unfilled (Nagapattinam). The Roles and Responsibilities of
the District coordinators are given to them.

Plan to run a State wide District Coordinators Training soon.

The President and Secretary of the Nagapatinam district should nominate suitable district
coordinator.

Changing renewal system of NHB Membership : With the approval of all the leaders
we have made changes in the Hospital Enrollment and Renewal policies. From January

65

2022 onwards, the NHB renewal will be done only in accordance with the Enrollment
date, once in 5 years and not on December 31st of every year.

Amalgamation of General and Journal Account : As discussed in the Finance
Standing Committee Meeting we have decided to amalgamate the General and Journal
account to one account. So in future there will be only one account for NHB IMATNSB.

As we are amalgamating the account, we have to close and reopen all the FD's and
MMD's, by doing it we will be benefited with higher Interest rate (6.5%) for all our FD's
and MMD's. Currently all our interest rates are low.

To Protect and Safeguard the interest of Nurses and Paramedical Staff
Our Chairman was called to attend the meeting regarding this and we have received a
letter dated: 20.10.2022 & Letter No: L2/26472/2016 from The Principal Secretary /
Commissioner of Labour, Chennai requesting us to send our remarks regarding
Formulation of Legislation/Guidelines for protecting and safeguarding the interest of
Nurses /Paramedical staff working in Private Hospital / Clinical Establishments held on
04.08.2022, under the guidance of the direction from The Supreme Court.

Regarding this we had a Zoom meet with all out IMA Office Bearers & District
Coordinators. After a long discussion we have decided to have the Zoom Meet once again
after a gap to finalize it. So we will be letting you all know about this in a brief way.

Finance Standing Committee Meeting : I attended the Finance Standing Committee
Meeting which was held on 6th November 2022 at JVL Plaza, Chennai. I submitted all the
finance related reports from the month of August to October 2022. The report was well
received

He also high lighted the NMC norms for the members.
The various problems faced by IMA NHB and the actin initiated were shared to the members, ass
follows.

› We are the largest Professional association for Doctors of Tamilnadu and the Nation
consisting of more than 40000 in Tamilnadu and more than 4 Lakhs in India. As we are with
the Govt. and for the public, we undertake the public related projects run by the Govt., but we
could see certain challenges and we would bring to your knowledge and we hope, can be
solved under your leadership.

› Hospitals are the institutions made for the public and the society which comprises of the
Hospital owners, Doctors, Nurses, Technicians and other workers. It is not only for business,
but also for service. The public and the entire staff benefit by the service of the Hospital.
Mistakes may happen, where the individual may be punished, but not the entire hospital on
which the surrounding public and the staff of the hospitals depend upon. We humbly request
your consideration in taking action on the individual Doctor alone for any said mistake, but
not the entire hospital.

› Hospitals are under the powers of Clinical Establishment Act. There are representatives in
CEA in the state and district level. There are representations regarding closure of hospitals in
the state. We request the Govt. to initiate the action on the hospitals, considering the opinion
of the state and district level committees than closing the hospitals by the Govt. authorities
themselves, which will bring more faith on the Government.

› CMCHIS under the DMK Govt. headed by Kalaignar called Kalaignar Kappeettu Thittam
was a boon to the public and the hospitals. The public found relief in various diseases treated
through various private hospitals. The rates fixed were viable for the Doctors and Hospitals
then. The wages and rates were reduced by the previous Government and no revision was
made for last 10 years, even after number of representations made to the previous
Government. Also Human resources, Equipment and all other overheads are increased
substantially for the last 10 years. Hence, we request you to provide us viable rates for us to
provide more efficient health care services to the community.

97

› The Minimum wages act 2018, for the Health care providers has certain discrepancies for
various categories. On our representation to the previous Govt., a committee was formed
involving IMA, Trade unions and Labour Unions and discussed about the solution. Due to
the pandemic, the Committee formed could not function. After the formulation of the new
Govt., we represented this issue to the Labour Commission, Secretary and the Labour
Minister and requested a mutually accepted rate. Inspite, we have found that the Hospitals
are taken action under Minimum Wages Act 2018. Hence, we humbly request the present
Government to consider and settle the minimum wages act issue at the earliest.

› We highly appreciate the Government's policy on implementing the Fire safety license by the
hospitals, but we would also request the Govt. to kindly extend the validity period from 1 year
to a period of 5 years.

C. To pass the minutes of 313 SCM held at Ramanathapuram on 19-06-2022.
