Life can only be understood backwards, but it must be lived forwards.
- Soren Kierkegaard
When the climate change discussion started, some thought it was a “fad” that would pass. It is now clear that this is serious and has long term and often irreversible impacts, including ill effects on health. Moreo-
ver, and this is particularly relevant to us as CMAI members, it is the poor who are the first and the most severely affected, because they cannot buffer themselves from the immediate outcomes, and also because their resultant increase in poverty immediately affects their health and their access to care when in need.
The range of possible actions includes understanding how our various ac-tions positively or negatively impact the environment, energy efficiency and conservation measures, use of renewable energy, greening of campuses and community spaces, water conservation and conservative use of all resources. As hospitals and health professionals, we have important roles to play:Hospitals are resource intensive. Around 15-20 per cent of a hospital’s op-erational expense is on energy and water. Hospitals spend more on energy per square meter than any other commercial building type.Many hospitals have community health programmes and these provide the op-portunity to entire communities to adopt practices that fight climate change.Hospitals’ training programmes in nursing and allied health professions are nurturing grounds for youth. By building a commitment among the youth to be climate champions, we plant a seed in them and thus in other institutions where they will go to work.Many patients and relatives spend time in our institutions; our practices, and clear messages about the importance we give to preserving our environment, can influence and convince them to adopt positive steps.Hospitals and healthcare professionals are respected in society; we can initiate and lead local initiatives for change, and influence our churches also to do so.
As we are intensive consumers of water, energy and other resources, it is urgent and imperative that we undertake climate-preserving actions immediately. We are stewards of what God has given us, and can influence many others. Let us, as a network, commit ourselves to this, and lead the way for healthcare institutions and professions in the country.
Hiding Then the man and his wife … hid from the LORD God … Then the LORD God said to the Woman, “What is this you have done?” Gen 3:8-11,13 (NIV)
Hiding, concealing, is something that comes naturally to us. There are many things that we hide in our lives. Out of our total selves, only a little is exposed to others.
One truth this passage alerts us to is that we cannot hide anything from God our Creator. The utmost we can do is repent / say sorry and move on in life. We cannot fight God in this life.
Sin due to disobedience has made us hide and not be open. Can our relationships ever be transparent and healthy? They are opaque and need transformation. How can we handle this concealing nature in us?
Only Christ – His love and grace – can restore us. His precious blood can transform us in the way we come across in the world as God’s people. The season of Lent, I believe, can help us change and remodel ourselves in the way we come across in society, the community and the family.
We cannot become 100% transparent but we can make a sincere effort to come clean, facing the future boldly rather than sulking about it. To not hide is a virtue that we can develop with the help of Christ alone, because that is the intention with which God created us.
Amen,
Rev Sharath DavidCMAI

Dear friends,
Greetings in the name of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ!
It has been a pleasure serving as Secretary of the Doctors Section of CMAI since I joined on 2 November 2009. In December 2009, I was able to visit all the member institutions of CMAI in Delhi, all except one. The institutions visited were EHA Central Office, TLM Headquarters, St Stephen’s Hospital, Holy Family Hos-pital, TLM Community Hospital, SAHYOG Project of EHA, Salvation Army Headquar-ters and EMFI Headquarters.
The visits were quite fruitful and com-prised listening afresh, on a personal basis, to what they expect from CMAI as well as how they could contribute to the Christian medical mission services in India by working together, for which CMAI is a platform. A need was expressed for nurturing Christian doctors on the Bibli-cal servant-leadership model of Christ Jesus.
The Doctor’s Executive Committee meeting will be held on 6 March 2010 at CMC Ludhiana and all arrangements are being made. Following this will be a students’ retreat on the same day and a Doctors’ meeting the following day i.e 7 March.
A students’ retreat is being planned focusing on medical students from MP, Chhattisgarh and Maharashtra to chal-lenge them to serve in missions. Towards this end, I visited medical students all over MP and also a few in Maharashtra – namely medical colleges in Nagpur, Sewagram, Sawangi, Jabalpur, Bhopal, Indore, and Gwalior.
Also, the initial planning for the National Conference to be held in November 2010 is on.
In Christ,

Dear friends,
Ms Jancy JohnsonSecretary, Nurses League
Healing Ministry service organised by Karnataka region The Karnataka region organised the Healing Ministry service at St Andrew’s Church at 5.30 pm on Sunday, 14 February 2010. There were 135 participants from institutions like CSI Hospital Bangalore, Baptist Hospital, St Peter’s Church, Divya Shanthi Church, St Andrew’s Church and YMCA. Healthcare professionals from other churches also participated. Theolo-gian Rev Johnson Samuel, one of the senior pastors from the Anglican Church, Bangalore, gave the message.
I wish you all a very happy and prosper-ous New Year!
As we remember the blessing God showered on us in the previous year, let us continue to seek His guidance this year too.
The Nurses League has been busy with seminars in different states these last couple of months. The commercialisation of healthcare and increasing consumerism poses many challenges in nursing. NL felt the need for increasing legal awareness among our nurses. With the help Mr Samu-el Abraham, Legal Advisor, CMC Vellore, we conducted three seminars in different cities viz Delhi, Chennai and Bangalore. The theme of the workshops was “Legal Implications in Nursing Practice”.
I attended the council meeting of CMC Vellore on 28 and 29 January. I also attended the consultation meeting on nursing held at Nirman Bhavan under the chairpersonship of Ms K Sujatha Rao, Secretary, Health and Family Welfare and presented the activities of both the boards and NL. Ms Rao suggested to the President of the Indian Nursing Council that some of our methods of inspection be adopted in order to improve the standards of nursing practice in the country.
I attended the Board and the Execu-tive Committee meetings of BNESIB and MIBE. BNESIB has got some additional space for the office. MIBE also needs a new building for the office.
We need to decide the venue for our National Conference. Do give suggestions. The Executive Committee is planning to meet on 4 March 2010.
With prayers,
Seminars on "Legal Implications in Nursing Practice"This era of improving standards of medical technology and constantly changing modes of communication, exposes nursing professionals to the complexity of client management. Legal and ethical challenges to nursing are on the rise.

Fr A Pinto inaugurated the seminar and Dr Vijay Aruldas introduced CMAI activities. Mr Stephen Victor, Secretary, Administrators Section, CMAI, also took a session on Bio-Medical Waste Management.

Dr Rajku-mari Sunder, Medical Superintendent, inaugurated the seminar. Mrs Jancy Johnson, Secretary, NL, presented CMAI activities. Mrs Shirley David, Chairperson, NL, CMAI, spoke on common medical pitfalls in nursing practice. Mrs Jancy Ravi, Principal, School of Nursing, Kalyani Hospital, co-ordinated the seminar.
The seminar at Bangalore Baptist Hospital was held on 11 February 2010. One hun-dred and forty six delegates from 26 institutions participated. Col Bunyan, Deputy Director, Bangalore Baptist Hospital, inaugurated the seminar. Dr Vijay Aruldas briefed about CMAI activities. Mrs Shirley David spoke on common medical pitfalls in nursing practice. A pre and post test was conducted. Mrs Leena Raj, Principal, School of Nursing, Bangalore Baptist Hospital, co-ordinated the workshop.Conclusion

Dear Members,
Greetings from the Administrators Section!
I am glad to inform you of a new devel-opment that has taken place recently. The Ministry of New and Renewable Energy, Government of India, has accepted our proposal to conduct awareness work-shops on implementing alternate energy sources and energy efficiency measures in hospitals. They are also willing to consider generous subsidies for hospi-tals that are willing to implement such measures (ex utilisation of solar energy) in this financial year. If any hospital in our network is interested, they should contact me immediately.
On 5 February I had the privilege of delivering a lecture on “Renewable En-ergy and Energy Efficiency in Hospitals” at a seminar organised by the State Government Department – Goa Energy Development Agency. A lot of interest has been generated about the possibility of using alternate sources of energy and reducing power bills through efficient use of power sources.
Even as I write this column, the XXIII Workshop on Hospital and Health Services Management is underway at Bangalore. This year we have participants from Bihar, MP, Maharashtra, Karnataka, AP, Kerala and Tamil Nadu. A good set of faculty is with us.
Sectional activities are being planned in various regions. Please contact your respective Regional Secretaries for de-tails. If you have any article that could be published in Clipboard please mail it to me.
Kindly pray for the Board meet-ings which are to be held first week of March.
Best wishes,
Applications are invited for the post of Anaesthetists (Degree/Diploma) in the Dr H Gordon Roberts Hospital, Shillong - 793002.

Allied Health Professionals
Mr A P BerrySecretary, AHP Section
NewsCMAI
Dear friends in Christ,
I hope you had a good time at Christmas and New Year. I send my warm greet-ings and wish God’s presence is with you this year.
Our allied health professionals are highly wanted in many institutions here and abroad. Please note that the alumni of CMAI are in need of verification cer-tificates from CMAI. I request CMAI graduates to become life members so that availing further certification is made easier. I have met many of our profes-sionals during the Chennai meet – the workshop arranged by Sri Ramchandra Medical Centre – where many success-ful, budding professionals with CMAI diplomas came to see me.
Our degree programmes started with Indira Gandhi National Open University (IGNOU) are launched and IGNOU is finalising study materials etc. As it is the first time, the speed of the programme has been found to be inadequate but we hope things will be alright soon.
The Quality Control of India, while making attempts to accredit the institu-tions for quality, is now interested in certifying allied health professionals also. I recently attended a meeting and am coming up with certification facilities for our allied health professionals which will bring us international recognition. It may take some time to get international standard accreditation for our training centres and professionals.
I am happy to inform you about the National Conference of allied health professionals being planned for 24-26 September 2010 at Kanyakumari. Be there!
With best wishes,
