A healthy mouth and a healthy body go hand in hand. The 2018
WOHD campaign encourages people to make the connec�on
between their oral health and their general health and well-being,
and prompts them to recognize the impact that one has on the
other.
FDI had announced a three-year campaign for World Oral Health
Day (WOHD) under the theme ‘Say Ahh’ at the World Dental
Congress in Madrid, Spain. Combined with different sub-themes
each year, the 2018 WOHD campaign: ‘Say Ahh: Think Mouth,
Think Health’ encourages people to make the connec�on
between their oral health and their general health and well-being.
As part of World Oral Health Day observance, JSPH contribu�ng in
this global movement organised 2 Free oral health check up and
awareness camps. The camp was focussed to make people aware
about associa�ons between certain oral diseases and
noncommunicable diseases (such as diabetes) raises awareness
of common risk factors. The camp promoted good oral hygiene
habits.
2 oral health check up camps were organised at Laxmi Clinic and
Firoz Khan Memorial Girls School, Jodhpur. JSPH Dental Surgeon
Abhishek Lohra and his team offered their services to make this
camp a great success.

Jagdish Harsh (Founder and CMD Mobiloi�e Technologies &
CFO-JSPH) during an conversa�on with team of JSPH
Newsle�er when asked to share his journey in areas of
“Environmental Health, Public Health and Smart Cites”
shared that "Health is determined not only by medical care
but also by determinants outside the medical sector". He
started the conversa�on with famous quota�on by Laurie
Garre� "Focussing on clinical services while neglec�ng
services that reduce exposure to disease is like mopping up
the floor con�nuously while leaving the tap running" believe
me ! the growth of public health is the need of the hour, he
added.
According to him environmental issues are one of the
primary causes of disease, health issues and long term
livelihood impact for India.
While sharing his views on age friendly ci�es he shared that
physical and social environments are key determinants of
whether people can remain healthy, independent and
autonomous long into their old age. Emphasizing on
effec�veness he shared that the WHO age-friendly ci�es
guide highlights 8 domains that ci�es and communi�es can
address to be�er adapt their structures and services to the
needs of older people: the built environment, transport,
housing, social par�cipa�on, respect and social inclusion,
civic par�cipa�on and employment, communica�on, and
community support and health services.

2018 Annual review of diseases
priori�zed under the Research and
Development BlueprintThe mee�ng was organized under the
WHO R&D Blueprint, which aims to
reduce the �me between declara�on
of a public health emergency and the
availability of effec�ve diagnos�c
tests, vaccines, an�virals and other
treatments that can save lives and
avert a public health crisisThe second annual review occurred 6-7 February,
2018. Experts consider that given their poten�al to
cause a public health emergency and the absence
of efficacious drugs and/or vaccines, there is an
urgent need for accelerated research and
development for*:
Ÿ Crimean-Congo haemorrhagic fever (CCHF)Ÿ Ebola virus disease and Marburg virus diseaseŸ Lassa feverŸ Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus
(MERS-CoV) and Severe Acute Respiratory
Syndrome (SARS)Ÿ Nipah and henipaviral diseasesŸ Ri� Valley fever (RVF)Ÿ ZikaŸ Disease X
Disease X represents the knowledge that a serious
interna�onal epidemic could be caused by a
pathogen currently unknown to cause human
disease, and so the R&D Blueprint explicitly seeks to
enable cross-cu�ng R&D preparedness that is also
relevant for an unknown “Disease X” as far as
possible.

Deepak gupta is a re�red IAS officer of
Jharkhand cadre of 1974 batch. He
worked in different areas in central
and state government, including a
deputa�on to India trade centre,
Brussels, as adviser (jute and coir)in
the eigh�es. He served as an adviser
with World Health Organiza�on in
Delhi. Joint Secretary, Ministry of

I n d i a . I nvo l ve d w i t h s t u d y o f
Communicable diseases in India.
His insights and experiences related to
public health awareness are below:
Focusing Tuberculosis :- It is one of the
biggest global issues which India is
facing, it is known by �mes as the
disease of poverty.
It effects large number of popula�on,
Over the years it got neglected but in
late 90's when global strategy of DOTS
was introduced than countries started
giving more a�en�on on TB and that
was the �me I was given opportunity
to serve Ministry of Health and was In-
charge for TB Programe. DOTS is a
strategy used to reduce the number of
tuberculosis (TB) cases. In DOTS,
healthcare workers observe pa�ents
as they take their medicine.
TB is a major killer and drug-resistant
TB is a growing threat.
Challenges :
TB con�nues to be the largest
infec�ous killer and correct diagnosis
plays an important role in it. One
more major challenge is that o�en
the treatment is not con�nued
because of which the pa�ent is not
cured. Further the pa�ent is likely to
have drug resistance which is called
MDR, which then becomes very
difficult and expensive to treat. We
have to run our TB programe well so
that we do not have MDR cases.
As we have to find all the missing cases
so we have to involve all sectors of
health on one pla�orm including the
private sector.
One of the most challenging area is
related to urban slums because this
popula�on is surviving in somewhat
difficult condi�ons.
As well as the density is very high and
the chances of infec�on are much
more so they require much more
focus.
Message for JSPH:- I wish JSPH very
best in their endeavors, also wish team
all my support and I am sure that we
will have a las�ng impact on health
issues.

Indrani Gupta is Professor and Head of the
Health Policy Research Unit of the Ins�tute
of Economic Growth (IEG), Delhi, India.
Prof. Gupta received her PhD in Economics
from The University of Maryland, USA. She
set up a centre for health economics and
policy research in her ins�tute, the first of
its kind in India. The Health Policy Research
at IEG remains one among the few places in
India that undertakes policy-oriented
research on the health sector using tools of
economic analysis.
Prof Gupta’s work experience has been
diverse, including teaching and academic
ins�tutes, the World Bank and the
Government of India. Her areas of interest
cover a wide range of topics in the area of
health economics and policy, and include
demand for health and health care, health
insurance and financing, poverty and
health, cos�ng and cost-effec�veness,
economics of diseases, and interna�onal
agreements.
In India, she serves on numerous academic,
research and policy commi�ees both in the
government and outside of it. She has also
served on various commi�ees of global
organiza�ons such as the WHO and GFATM,
and is currently the Co-Chair, WHO Global
Coordina�ng Mechanism on the Preven�on
and Control of Non-communicable
Diseases.
As an economist Indrani wanted to get
connected with health sector but into
policy making. This is where the Health
Policy Research Unit (HPRU) helped her.
HPRU was set up in 1998, to consolidate,
con�nue, and significantly expand the
research in the area of health economics
and policy in IEG.
The objec�ve of HPRU is to carry out
research that is directly relevant to
the changing health scenario in India, and
the focus is on topics that either are
currently of interest to policymakers or
should be brought to their no�ce.
We need to understand that health is
not only a clinical outcome it has lot of
non clinical aspects, in which a
professional trained in public health
can contribute. The cadre of Public health professional
is very cri�cal in the country as we have
infec�ous, non communicable diseases
and several new emerging diseases. We
need to understand, prevent and
aware the community on same and that
can only happen if we have a solid cadre
of Public Health Professionals in our
country.

JSPH has ini�ated with a Masters
Degree Programme dedicated to
Hospital Administra�on. This
Unique Programme launched
from last session is aimed to
promote research and training in
t h e fi e l d o f h o s p i t a l
administra�on.
Rashmi Rathore (Associate
Professor and Course Director -
MHA ) shared that “Healthcare
sector is one of the fastest
growing industries in India today.
Advances in the field of science
and technology have given rise to
an era of specializa�on. In the
healthcare industry, these
specializa�ons have paved the
way for crea�on of mul�ple
specialty and sub-specialty
departments to enhance the level
of care delivery. Managing these
departments with advanced
faci l i�es and modal i�es of
treatment have taken a backseat
primarily due to lack of a�en�on
and exper�se. Towards this end
t h e r e i s a n e e d t o h a v e
profess ional ly t ra ined and
competent personnel in the field
of Hospital Administra�on who
can ensure quality, op�miza�on
and be�er produc�vity in the
delivery of healthcare services.”
Rashmi further explained, “The
en�re health care industries are
wai�ng eagerly for batch of bright
& highly professional hospital
administrators those who can
really contribute in improving
health care delivery systems in
different categories of corporate
hospitals, government hospitals,
d i a g n o s � c c e n t r e ,
pharmaceu�cal industries, health
care marke�ng, health care
infrastructural planning and
development sector etc. “
Bhawna Sa� (HOD – JSPH)
briefed that students pursuing
the MHA Course shall be offered
r e g u l a r p r a c � c a l t r a i n i n g
opportunity at leading Hospitals.
She further added that “This 2
years degree course shall provide
t h e b a s i c a n d a d v a n c e d
knowledge in healthcare delivery
system, its complexi�es and role
in healthcare ins�tu�ons.”
The programmes enable individuals to take on leadership roles by equipping them with training in planning, project and opera�onal
management, financial, material and human resource management.

M y w a r m e s t
regards to all
the readers!
I ' m a D e nta l
Surgeon by profession and currently a
student of the Masters in Public Health
(MPH) course under the auspices of
the Jodhpur School of Public Health,
Jodhpur. In i�al ly as a Medica l
Professional, I had a keen interest in
serving the people but my view of
Public Health was a limited one. It was
only constricted to the rural check-up
and treatment camps during the �me
of my Internship and a�er it and thus, I
was not able to fully appreciate the
extent and the importance of Public
Health as a field.
I came to know about JSPH
through a friend who was already a
Public Health professional. He told me
about the work he was doing and the
future in it. This conversa�on sparked
my interest and I applied for the course
the very next day at JSPH. Honestly
speaking, joining the MPH course at
JSPH is one of the greatest decisions of
my life as it has shown me a world of
opportuni�es and skill sets which had
previously remained unseen. The
faculty here is among the best in the
world and is very suppor�ve in nature.
Now, my understanding of the field of
P u b l i c H e a l t h h a s i m p r o v e d
extensively. It has also improved my
communica�onal, voca�onal and
leadership skills to a great extent.
I would like to extend my
thanks to everyone at JSPH and
promise that I will try to do my best in
serving our na�on and the pres�gious
field of Public Health.

Towards crea�ng a healthier society b y p o p u l a r i z i n g p r e v e n � v e measures, JSPH organizes awareness programs on various issues of health and hygiene. For this purpose, JSPH works con�nuously on use of visual media which communi�es are familiar with … like street plays, puppet shows etc. Another strategy is involving
children and youth in awareness programs like rallies, debates etc. because children are the best messengers to carry the message to their parents, family and other community members. Health-weeks and health camps are also generally organized in villages for different age groups.
Informa�on about the conduct of health awareness sessions and camps is widely canvassed by JSPH well in advance. These sessions and camps are organized in coordina�on with the community keeping their �me and other constraints in mind. Through these ac�vi�es, JSPH ensures that such programs reach maximum number of people.

RT, a 56 years old female, diabetic for last
twenty six years, is a professor. She is
involved deeply in her household and
professional chores, but is able to keep her
blood sugar and glycated haemoglobin well
in control. KM a 55 years old male, is a busy
executive in an MNC. His work schedule is
also tight but in spite of regular medication
he is not been able to keep his glucose and
glycated haemoglobin parameters under
control. Everything alike, the only
difference in their approach is their
lifestyle. Researches have proved that if the
lifestyle is proper, the control of diabetes is
by and large achievable and, therefore, it is
also known as “lifestyle disease.”
Role of diet is important in disease and
health alike but when we talk about
diabetes, the picture that suddenly comes
up in the mind is of extreme changes in the
food habits. But the fact is a diabetic diet is
not different from a normal diet. It simply
requires subtle changes and a balanced
formula which can be followed by
everyone.
Consensus has led to nine key steps for
nutrition in diabetes.
Eat to maintain and improve health. Ideal
body weight is an important factor that one
should take care of. The crux is weight for
height. BMI (body mass index) is a simple
way to asses the body stature. It is weight in
kilograms divided by height in metre square 2and ranges from 18.4 to 23.0 kg /m for
normal Asians. More than normal range is
obesity and less is underweight. Simply
reducing 500 calories/ day in the meal
would set off reasonable reduction in
weight. Remember crash diet or Yo-Yo
dieting is not recommended.
Eat regular meals and in time. Frequent
small meals per day is the norm today. It
helps to maintain blood glucose levels too.
Two large meals in a day is out of fashion
and so is skipping meals. The old saying “no
fast and no feast” is still close to the modern
recommendations. For people who are
prone to hypoglycaemia, a bed time snack is
helpful.
Select smart food with lots of variety.
Selection of healthy food groups which
provide the required nutrients and
maintain blood sugar is considered as smart
selection. The concept of Glycaemic Index,
although old, is simple to follow. Food items
which are quickly absorbed are likely to
raise blood sugar levels faster than the ones
which are slowly absorbed.
The following list will help to choose less
glycaemic index articles:
Low Glycaemic Index Food Articles
Wholegrain, bran, oats, whole meal atta
Pulses with husk, sprouts, soybean, soy
products
Leafy vegetables, Salads
Fruits and vegetables with skin
Fenugreek seeds, Nuts
Supplements like psyllum husk, brans
Few food items are preferred on others
such as oats, brightly coloured vegetables,
bengal gram, soybean, coarse grains,
ginger, onion, green tea, watermelon seeds
cucumber seeds, olive and the olive oil and
mustard oil.
. Food combinat ionn
guiding pyramid. The bitter tasting karela
and neem leaves are not needed instead
add colours and variety.
Reduce fat intake.The fat requirement per
day is 30% or less of total calories which
usually comes about 3-4 teaspoonfull of
cooking oil and 1 teaspoonfull of ghee or 1
½ teaspoonfull of butter.
Using a combination of fats which contains
PUFA, MUFA and SFA is advised instead of
using one type of oil like safflower or
soybean.
A quick reckoner is
1-2 teaspoon from group : Soybean oil,
sunflower, safflower that provides PUFA
1-2 teaspoon from g r o u p I I :
Musturd, flaxseed, seasam or olive oil that
provides MUFA
½ to 1 teaspoon from group III: Ghee or
Butter that provides SFA
Cold pressed oils are preferred over refined
oils because they maintain adequate levels
of essential fatty acids and are devoid of
chemicals and trans fatty acids which are
present in refined oils. Bakery products,
chips, fried food, namkeens etc., fatty or red
meat are to be avoided as they contain
hydrogenated fats or trans fats which are
harmful.
Cholesterol intake should be significantly
reduced by using low fat dairy products and
fish. Egg yolk, red meat and fried foods
should be avoided.
Cut down salt. Excess salt is harmful for
those suffering from hypertension, heart
disease and kidney disease. These diseases
are commonly associated with diabetes. It
is also responsible for raised calcium loss
from our body.
Sources of excessive sodium are papad,
chutney, pickles, soda and aerated drinks.
Another important source of salt is ENO salt
which is now a days being frequently used
as alleviating agent in preparing Idlee and
Dhokla .This fast cooking method needs a
check.
Read labels. Always read labels, especially
for diabetic food products sold in the
market.
These products are not necessary and do
not contribute to healthy diet. Investing in
such products is not sensible.
Limit alcohol intake. The simple rule is
restricting to not more than two small
drinks for males and one small drink of 30
ml for females per day. Remember excess
alcohol can cause hypoglycaemia.
Exercise. Fitness is a part and parcel of
life. Not only is it essential for normal
metabolism but is also essential to burn
extra calories acquired inadvertently. The
simplest exercise is walking forty five
minutes per day for at least five days in a
week. Activity Pyramid
Thus it is important that the diabetic patient
need not observe absolute restrictions of
food. Small changes through food
exchanges can make life wonderful,
disciplined and win over diabetes easily.
