Withdrawal Of Life Support
- Health Ministry has issued draft guidelines outlining conditions for the withdrawal of life support in terminally ill patients.
- Terminal illness has been defined as an irreversible or incurable condition from which death is inevitable in the foreseeable future.
- Severe brain injuries with no recovery after 72 hours are included in this category. Doctors are advised to make a considered decision about it based on several factors, including the patient being declared brainstem dead, a poor prognosis with no likely benefit from treatment, or a documented informed refusal from the patient or their family.
- In draft guidelines which have been released for public comments, the Ministry emphasized that many patients in intensive care units (ICUs) are terminally ill and are not expected to gain from life-sustaining treatments (LST).
- The Ministry added that in such circumstances, LSTs are non-beneficial and increase avoidable burdens and suffering to patients and therefore are considered excessive and inappropriate.
- It added that this approach is considered standard ICU care worldwide and is upheld by several jurisdictions. The Ministry added that such decisions have medical, ethical and legal considerations.
Urban Governance Index
- Kerala has earned the top spot in the Urban Governance Index (UGI) by the Praja Foundation, because of its strengths in managing finances and planning at the local level. However, the study also points out areas where Kerala can improve, especially in city administration.
- UGI is a study that looks at how well cities are governed in India. It took two years to complete and checked various aspects of governance. Kerala scored 59.31 out of 100, beating Odisha, which scored 55.10. This index can attract investments and improve the sustainability of cities by keeping governance efficient and up-to-date.
- Kerala performed very well in fiscal empowerment, which refers to how well the state manages its money. Kerala scored 23.22 out of 30 in this category, doing better than Maharashtra, which scored 21.15. This shows that Kerala has strong financial management at the local level.
- Even though Kerala did well overall, it ranked 20th in terms of city administration empowerment. This means Kerala still has room to improve how its cities are run. However, it stands out by allowing mayors to write a yearly report on the performance of city commissioners.
