Dear Dr Uma Kireet
So far MMR is included in the Delhi schedule since last 8 yrs.In Delhi
as IAP CANCL GRP /IAP Delhi in 1999 we organized a massive health
Mela for Street Children(1100 childr)and invited Dr Harshvardhan (then
health minister of Delhi) and proposed we need MMR in govt schedule
,his response was why dint you proposed it before this .He promised
there and then only to bring it in Delhi schedule. Not only this with
in a week his office called up IAP
Delhi to come to his office to discussed ,by the time we as IAP Delhi
reached his office he already had done the homework with his Principal
Secretary and declared they have decided to include it in Delhi
schedule. I know the minute detailes of it as I organised all
theseinitial meetings as Secretary IAP CANCL GRP and IAP executive
member along with
others.
Its not understood as yet why none of the IAP Presidents took up this
matter seriously to bring it in national schedule when Measles vac is
allready there since long.Its just the matter of taking up the matter
seriously and will be done .Hope Dr Panna Choudhury and Dr Deepak Ugra
think about it seriously.

Founder Secretary IAP CANCL GRP.
