| What is the goal of Mission DELHI introduced by ICMR in 2019? | an emergency medical service with a motorbike-borne assistance unit can be quickly summoned for a person suffering heart attack or chest pain | s part of a major initiative in collaboration with AIIMS, Delhi, an emergency medical service with a motorbike-borne assistance unit can be quickly summoned for a person suffering heart attack or chest pain was launched by ICMR in 2019, known as Mission DELHI (Delhi Emergency Life Heart-Attack Initiative). Under this, a pair of motorcycle-borne trained paramedic nurses would be the first responders for treating heart attack patients. On getting a call, the pair would rush to the spot, gather basic information on the patient’s medical history, conduct a quick medical examination, take the ECG (electrocardiography), and establish a virtual connection with the cardiologists at AIIMS and deliver expert medical advice and treatment. | 65 | definition | 1.000 | s part of a major initiative in collaboration with AIIMS, Delhi, an emergency medical service with a motorbike-borne assistance unit can be quickly summoned for a person suffering heart attack or chest pain was launched by ICMR in 2019, known as Mission DELHI (Delhi Emergency Life Heart-Attack Initiative). | 44 | |||
| What therapy is crucial to address mortality caused by heart attacks? | thrombolytic therapy (administration of drugs that dissolve blood clots that cause sudden blockage to major arteries or veins as in case of a heart attack) | Access to these key services and treatment before reaching the hospital is an effective intervention that will save time and reduce death and disability in those with heart attacks. Along with robust health infrastructure and talented doctors, thrombolytic therapy (administration of drugs that dissolve blood clots that cause sudden blockage to major arteries or veins as in case of a heart attack) is crucial to address mortality caused by heart attacks. Mission Delhi is currently in its pilot phase and is successful in providing 24x7 Delhi Emergency cardiac healthcare services in 5 km radius around AIIMS. The provision of timely emergency treatments like Mission DELHI to patients will go a long way in reducing incidences of heart attacks which are often life threatening.

| What is the main purpose of the Bacillus Calmette–Guérin (BCG) vaccine? | a vaccine primarily used against tuberculosis | acillus Calmette–Guérin (BCG) vaccine is a vaccine primarily used against tuberculosis. Even though BCG had been in use for many years, it had always been the subject of controversy, as several scientific studies done all over the world had shown a widely varying protective value of BCG. Owing to the controversy over its protective effect and its extensive use in India it was felt necessary to undertake further field trials, wherein all shortcomings of previous trials could be eliminated. The Government of India took the decision to undertake a BCG trial in India. In 1968, the study was carried out in Chingleput district in Tamil Nadu (where no BCG vaccination was previously offered), under the auspices of ICMR in collaboration with WHO and the Centre for Disease Control (CDC), US Public Health Service, USA. | 41 | definition | 1.000 | acillus Calmette–Guérin (BCG) vaccine is a vaccine primarily used against tuberculosis. | 51 | page=51,block=1 | 0.700 | valid |
| What is a defining feature of asymptomatic malaria cases? | no fever but they test positive for malaria | In 2013, the ICMR-National Institute of Malaria Research, New Delhi; National Vector Borne Disease Control Programme (NVBDCP) and Medicines for Malaria Venture, Geneva carried out a project ‘Comprehensive Case Management Programme (CCMP)’ in four districts of Odisha. The findings and learnings gave insights that persistence of malaria transmission occurs in remote villages/hamlets where there Demonstration project for malaria elimination (Odisha and MP) is poor surveillance and the presence of asymptomatic malaria cases (no fever but they test positive for malaria). These asymptomatic cases act as silent reservoirs for malaria. | 527 | definition | 1.000 | The findings and learnings gave insights that persistence of malaria transmission occurs in remote villages/hamlets where there Demonstration project for malaria elimination (Odisha and MP) is poor surveillance and the presence of asymptomatic malaria cases (no fever but they test positive for malaria). | 56 | page=56,block=1 | 0.700 | valid |
