APMC brings renewal services to district level
Tirupati: In a significant move to decentralise medical registration services, the Andhra Pradesh Medical Council (APMC) launched district-level doctor registration renewals and re-registration services at SV Medical College (SVMC) in Tirupati on Saturday. With this, doctors no longer need to travel to Vijayawada for services other than permanent registration, offering relief to hundreds of medical professionals in the region. The two-day registration drive was inaugurated by district Collector Dr S Venkateswar in the presence of APMC Chairman Dr Daggumati Sreehari Rao. Speaking to the media, Dr Venkateswar described the initiative as a welcome development and urged senior doctors, practicing physicians, and medical students to take full advantage of the services now available locally. He commended the APMC for introducing long-pending reforms that have brought greater ease and flexibility in availing council services. 'The decentralisation of the registration process is a major step forward. I request APMC to continue introducing innovative measures to make the process even more accessible,' he said. Dr Sreehari Rao highlighted that the APMC plans to offer these services at district level every weekend, starting with this initiative in Tirupati. The move aims to reduce travel burdens on senior citizens and practicing doctors seeking re-registration, renewals, or No Objection Certificates (NOCs). A key change introduced includes a reduction in service fees. Doctors under 75 years of age will now pay Rs 8,000 for registration-related services, while those above 75 will pay Rs 6,000, significantly lower than the previous Rs 40,000–Rs 50,000 range. Changes have also been made to Continuing Medical Education (CME) credit requirements. Doctors aged 65–70 now need only 15 credit points over five years, while those between 71–80 need 10. Those above 80 years are exempt. Dr Sreehari Rao announced that meritorious final-year MBBS students from all government and private colleges will be awarded gold medals annually. APMC is also working on WhatsApp-based services for renewals and introducing AI tools to monitor CME attendance. On this occasion, doctors appealed to the Collector for a permanent APMC office in Tirupati to facilitate registrations with more flexibility. The Collector assured that a decision would be taken after discussions with APMC. MLC Dr Cipai Subramanyam also spoke on the occasion, which was attended by SVMC Principal Dr G Ravi Prabhu, SVIMS Director Dr RV Kumar, Superintendents of Ruia and Maternity hospitals Dr J Radha and Dr Prameela, DM&HO Dr V Balakrishna Naik and others.

How does Gossip Girl star Elizabeth Hurley manage to look young even at 60? Find out her secret
Elizabeth Hurley, known for her iconic role in the early 2000s television series Gossip Girl, has unsurprisingly maintained herself all these years and manages to make heads turn and inspire people even at 60. Sharing why staying healthy is important for her, Hurley recently said that working on a breast cancer campaign taught her that a 'woman's health is absolutely vital'. 'We have to keep our hearts and lungs healthy. We need to eat well and get plenty of rest, and just relax. Doctors say it is one of the most essential things to do,' she said, adding that it's not always easy. 'In fact, it is one of the hardest things to beat stress and stay calm. But it is a very valuable part of our health regime,' she told Us Weekly. During the interview, she also divulged her well-kept diet, health, and beauty secrets that have helped her stay glowing all this while. Here are the highlights: 'I walk every day. I try to get in my 10,000 steps a day, and I do some stretching every day,' she shared. Despite hotels having gyms, she generally doesn't use them. Talking about her love for exploring new places on foot, Hurley said, 'I've spent most of my adult life in a hotel room, so I try to bring my gym with me. I keep my running shoes on me, and go out for a walk, and definitely see things out there in a new city.' Dr Moinuddin, Consultant Internal Medicine at CARE Hospitals, Musheerabad, shared that walking is a low-impact exercise that delivers a plethora of benefits, regardless of age or fitness level. Regular walking aids in weight loss and helps maintain a healthy body weight. It strengthens your heart and improves blood circulation, promoting overall cardiovascular health. In fact, it also contributes to building and maintaining muscle strength, enhancing your physical capabilities. Simple and to the point, Hurley's go-to breakfast includes an omelette or an avocado toast with some tomatoes. Dr Birali Swetha, chief dietician, Gleneagles Aware Hospital, LB Nagar, Hyderabad, told that an avocado toast and egg has a favourable effect on blood sugar levels, especially compared to high-carb meals. 'This combination of ingredients is rich in healthy fats, protein, and fibre, which are key nutrients for maintaining stable blood sugar levels,' she said. Avocados contain heart-healthy monounsaturated fats and fibre, which slow down digestion and absorption of carbohydrates, preventing rapid spikes in blood sugar. 'Eggs are a great source of high-quality protein that has a minimal effect on blood sugar levels and helps with satiety, reducing the likelihood of overeating or craving sugary snacks later,' said Dr Birali. When it comes to her skincare routine, she emphasised on the importance of using a very good moisturiser. 'As you get older, your skin becomes even drier. So you have to use a really good moisturiser, more eye cream and more body cream, more elbow cream – everything.' Dr Akriti Gupta, a cosmetic dermatologist from Jivisha Clinic in New Delhi shared that a well-rounded skincare regimen should contain four steps: washing, exfoliating, moisturising, and sun protection. 'It is imperative to enhance your skincare routine and customise each element for your skin type.' According to her, dehydration can make the skin look dull or dry. Further stating the importance of staying hydrated, Dr Gupta said, 'The term hydrate refers to more than just drinking water,' further pointing out other techniques to keep the skin moisturised, which include 'limiting alcohol and coffee, and consuming food that contains good fats.'
