00:02I would like to tell you about your family that in our medical college there is a new laboratory
00:12opened by central government which we normally call diamonds.
00:16Diamonds are basically short form.
00:18This is the whole explanation that is DHR-ICMR Advanced Molecular Oncology Diagnostic Laboratory.
00:25This means that the cancer patients have been given.
00:28There are many side effects of cancer patients.
00:34Normally cancer patients suffer from side effects.
00:38But now the time is precision medicine, personalized therapy.
00:43There are some special tests that we put in a particular cancer.
00:47When the test is positive or negative,
00:50there will be a decision that the patient will give you.
00:53So, every patient's treatment is different from the other.
00:58We call it personalized therapy or targeted therapy.
01:03Our facility was not here.
01:06We were trying to take it a lot,
01:08but there were certain formalities and procedures.
01:11we were trying to take it a lot.
01:12So, the good thing is that we had a project in central government.
01:18We had a project before COVID.
01:20But 3 years ago,
01:22we had a project in our medical college for DHR-ICMR.
01:24We had a project in the medical college.
01:26We had a diamond lab established in the pathology department.
01:31We had almost 1 crore plus a year.
01:35We had a project in which we have to keep our staff.
01:38There are 6 staffs,
01:39such as research scientists, research associates, lab technicians,
01:42MTS and data entry operators.
01:44We had to manage this project,
01:47test it,
01:48and keep its entire data.
01:49We have to manage this project.
01:51With that,
01:51we have to spend some money on consumables.
01:55We have to use chemicals,
01:57or we have to buy reagents.
01:59We have to manage this project.
02:02We have to use machines every year.
02:05This is already an allocated budget.
02:07We have to decide all the heads.
02:10So,
02:11we have to find infrastructure for this project.
02:17We have to identify the customers.
02:19We have to identify the employees.
02:21We have to use machines.
02:23We have to hire machines.
02:26We have to hire machines.
02:28We have to hire machines.
02:29we have to hire machines.
02:29we have to hire these people in Jammu.
02:32which is not available in private labs.
02:35They also send out the test.
02:36And it's time to work.
02:38We are providing them.
02:39The thing is that,
02:41we are providing them all the tests.
02:43We are providing them free of cost.
02:45provide.
02:45It doesn't have charge of 1 Rs.
02:48But when the patient has breast cancer and lung cancer,
02:52when cancer patients are increasing,
02:55there are many environmental factors
02:58and the detection rate has increased.
03:00The patient has diagnosed with diagnosis.
03:03When a breast cancer case was diagnosed,
03:06they had to test some ER, PR, HER2-NEW,
03:09KI-67,
03:10which had to go out.
03:11And this test has not covered in Aishman.
03:15So one of the patients had to earn their money,
03:20which had to earn more than $10,000 to $10,000 to $10,000.
03:24And then some people couldn't go outside,
03:27so they couldn't take treatment.
03:28So now this test,
03:30as we have diagnosed here,
03:31we have to report the turnaround time around 2-3 days,
03:36if there isn't anything else or anything else.
03:38we have to give special ER, PR, HER2-NEW, KI-67 reports.
03:45And on this basis,
03:47there is a patient's treatment plan.
03:49So if ER, PR is positive,
03:51then there is an anti-hormonal therapy.
03:53If HER2 is positive,
03:54then there is a special therapy available in the hospital.
03:58In this case,
03:59there is also a test in lung cancer.
04:02Because here,
04:03we have seen that our lung cancer incidence
04:05is more than India.
04:07There are multiple reasons.
04:09But when the case was diagnosed,
04:12then there were therapies,
04:13the treatment to decide,
04:14the test to go outside,
04:16there are 7-10 days in the patient's report.
04:19After that,
04:19they have to decide,
04:20and people can't do anything,
04:22because of financial limitations.
04:24In this case,
04:25the patient has to make a formality,
04:27that they have to copy their card,
04:30just for the data keeping.
04:31Because we share all the data from central government.
04:34NCDR,
04:35which is our STATS lab in Bangalore and Delhi,
04:38they share all the data.
04:40And this is the reason
04:41that the government means
04:43that our policies have been created
04:45and that our research has been done
04:47throughout the country.
04:49So this is a government
04:50holding you,
04:51so that we know
04:53what is common in our people,
04:55what is common in our people.
04:57So that we need research
04:58plus treatment.
04:59In research,
05:02we can see which markers are positive here.
05:05And the patients
05:05provide the test recipients
05:07in the charting.
05:09Now there is lung cancer,
05:10which is squamous,
05:11adeno,
05:12basic tests.
05:13If there is a test positive,
05:15according to this
05:17diamond lab,
05:18we have taken a Ventana platform,
05:20Automated IHC Stainer.
05:22Within one day,
05:23we put ALK ROS PD-L1
05:27and a RT-PCR lab set.
05:28There is an EGFR mutation
05:30which can be seen.
05:31And you will talk about
05:32oncologists,
05:33cancer specialists,
05:34and they will tell you
05:36how important it is
05:38to decide the patient's treatment.
05:39Because if there is a particular marker
05:41positive,
05:42you give it to that
05:43then the patient will respond quickly.
05:45And they will be useful,
05:46their side effects will also be reduced,
05:47and their longevity will also increase.
05:49So, for today's time,
05:51we have to add this
05:52basically government
05:53to provide you a platform
05:54to provide you.
05:55And you will be able to
05:56use local administration
05:57and state government
05:58to use the same machine
05:59for the test.
06:01So, we have started this
06:02during the lymphoma panel
06:05which is a blood
06:06which is a malignancy.
06:08We have asked
06:09more markers in the department
06:11which we can share
06:12on the list.
06:13In addition,
06:13we are trying to
06:14try to find
06:15colorectal cancer
06:16and brain cancer.
06:18We also need
06:19our worthy dean
06:20and principal
06:20who are very
06:21supporting us.
06:22Because he is also
06:23from a clinical department
06:24and he understands
06:26how important it is.
06:28So, he always
06:28encourages us
06:29that whatever you want
06:30to procure
06:30he facilitates that.
06:33So, now
06:34I am happy
06:34to tell you
06:35that if there is
06:36any patient
06:36please
06:38change reaction
06:39please
06:40and
06:40people
06:41are
06:41in your house
06:42you have to provide
06:45information
06:46that
06:47all tests
06:50are free of cost
06:51here
06:52at the medical college
06:52they are only
06:54blocking the issue
06:55which we have
06:56to do
06:56or
06:58we will
06:59cut
07:00the
07:01marker
07:02and
07:03give them
07:03within five days
07:05the report
07:05in total
07:07we have done
07:07400 cases of lung cancer and breast cancer.
07:12In the beginning of the year, we started this in 2023.
07:15In September and October, we received a machine.
07:18In that year, there were 2 cases.
07:20In the next year, we had more cases in 24-25.
07:24In the beginning, we had less patients in the beginning.
07:28But we have reached out to doctors.
07:32They are all sending samples.
07:34In fact, not only in medical college.
07:35In the entire district.
07:37In every district.
07:39Like Rajori, Dodha, Kishtwar, Sambha, Kthua.
07:43People are sending out cases from AIM.
07:47GMC Kthua, Udhampur.
07:50They get good reports from here.
07:52That's why they receive us again.
07:54And send their reports.
07:55The government's special cancer scheme is made for Jammu Kishmir.
08:00The central government is hand-holding.
08:02Because the incidence of cancer is rising.
08:05So, they are making a special plan and strategy for cancer care.
08:09So that patients can provide them to their home.
08:12So that they can provide every single person.
08:13So, they have seen the terminal patients.
08:16They have to suffer from cancer.
08:17And in the last moment.
08:18When they know that they can't do anything about their disease.
08:22Then, they have to stay in pain.
08:24They have to stay in pain.
08:25They have to stay in hospital.
08:27They have to stay in hospital.
08:28So, the government is trying to make kids.
08:31So that they can make home care kids.
08:34And recently, Neeti Ayo, DHR, ICMR, DBT.
08:39Our administration has made recent meetings.
08:43And I am happy to say that the government is actively working on this.
08:47And very quickly, you will get a cancer strategy for Jammu Kishmir.
08:50There is also a role that the diamond lab will open up in some colleges.
08:56So that the area is covered.
08:58So that Jammu is difficult for people from Jammu.
09:00So, in Jammu, in Jammu, in Jammu,
09:02the government decides where they will open.
09:04They have proposals.
09:06So, the central government has said that we will help you.
09:08We will help you, everyone.
09:09They will help you, everyone,
09:10The government will help you,
09:11We will help you get better facilities.
