SHYAM SOOD 

RAJOURI MARCH 04:-Health and Medical Education (H&ME) Department J&K has introduced Fibroscan Services at Government Medical College (GMC) Rajouri which will provide succour to a population of more than 14 lakhs of Pir Panjal range (Rajouri-Poonch & Reasi districts).
FibroScan testing is a non-invasive technique carried out by gastrointestinal (GI) doctors to assess the health of the liver and identify issues that might impact the quality of liver function.
Conducted with ultrasound-based imaging, this cutting-edge diagnostic test, also referred to as transient elastography, gauges the amount of fat in the liver (hepatic steatosis).
“The Fibroscan Service has been introduced in GMC Rajouri on the directions of Secretary to Government H&ME Dr Sayed Abid Rasheed Shah, IAS, to provide high end advanced Medical Services to the people living in rural areas” said Principal GMC Rajouri, Prof. (Dr) A S Bhatia.
Fibroscan Service is the first of its kind service in this region, he added.
With the introduction of this diagnostic service, patients suffering from Hepatitis B&C, Chronic Alcoholism, non-Alcoholic Cirrhosis, besides many others suffering from liver disorder will be greatly benefitted.
Fatty liver disease is on the rise because of improper dietary habits and shifting to western styles of junk food, which is a major health problem in India.
Liver diseases account for over 2 million deaths annually while liver cancer accounts for 6-9 lakh deaths annually.
With the introduction of Fibroscan Services our doctors will be able to diagnose the early changes occurring in the liver and corrective eating habit changes can be advised to prevent the occurrence of Liver Cirrhosis,” said MS AH GMC Dr Mehmood Hussain Bajar.
“In this region the incidence of liver cancer is many times high in patients suffering from liver cirrhosis, which now will also be prevented with this diagnostic apparatus,” he added.
Civil society has appreciated this initiative of the H&ME department.
