Medical Treatment Written by : Dr. Sanjib Dhungel
and Dr. Ugra Narayan Pathak BOOK Medical Information Dr. Dhungel and Dr. Pathak write a handy book on disease treatment and common medicines By KESHAB POUDEL After the restoration of democracy, a number of medical colleges have opened up in the country with the number of students studying the discipline increasing by three fold. But the medical students here still have difficulties to find good informative books related to medicine. With the aim to provide the basic idea about medical education, doctor duo Pathak and Dhungel teamed up and came with a fairly comprehensive book on the subject titled "Medical Treatment". According to the authors, one of the aims of the book is to provide information to the nurses, health assistants and the community health workers as they constantly need to have access to the information during treatment. This book targets to help them give best medical care during their day to day work in the ward, OPD or the clinic. Although the book is small, it helps the medical workers to find out the right medicines at the time of crisis. As two experienced doctors, they write about the medical practices and treatment methods. They are able to show correct treatment, prescription and dose administration of various diseases. Other highlights of the book include the introduction of treatment aspects that could prove helpful to health workers around the country. Apart from the health workers and doctors, the book is particularly useful to medical students who wish to broaden their knowledge on the common diseases affecting the people of the country and the best ways to fight them. CITES : Nepal's Commitment BOOK Trafficking Of Wildlife The book highlights the importance of following CITES provision for wildlife conservation By A CORRESPONDENT Illegal trade of wildlife and their parts is a major problem in third world countries like Nepal. There have been many international conventions to protect wildlife but only a few of them have been successfully implemented. Nepal, too, has signed a number of conventions to protect wildlife including CITES -- which envisages to stop the trafficking of wildlife parts -- but they are hardly followed. At a time when all concerned parties are complaining about non-committal approach of the government, a group of environmental experts here have published a report-cum-book highlighting different aspects of illegal wildlife trade and its aspects with the special focus on Nepal. The report is prepared by the group in accordance with a proposal for a CITES compliance project of July 1997. It was prepared following a detailed survey of literature pertaining to the wildlife protection regime in Nepal and the framework in the country for compliance with the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species (CITES) of Wild Fauna and Flora. CITES seeks to regulate trade of endangered species of flora and fauna between states parties to the convention and between those states parties and other states not parties to the convention. In Nepal the wildlife protection regime contained within these statutes and other legal documents is structured around certain key protected areas and operated by a small number of key institutions and individuals including the Department of National Parks and Wildlife Conservation, the Forest Department and the Customs Department. The book could be a good read to environmentalists, experts, wildlife lovers and researchers. |
