Azad blames State CMs for H1N1 fatalities

Posted by: seoforever on: September 5, 2009

New Delhi: Union Minister for Health and Family Welfare Ghulam Nabi Azad on Friday blamed State Chief Ministers for their slow response to the H1N1 outbreak.
He said this after chairing the State Health Ministers? Conference, which was held to review the National Rural Health Mission (NHRM).
Azad said that very few State Chief Ministers had contacted him. He said, ?I had to chase State Chief Ministers rather than them asking.?


Mechanism needed to monitor health standards
As the health authorities in Delhi confirmed two swine flu deaths, he said each state should have institutional mechanism to monitor health standards.
The Minister also deflected blame after criticism over the handling of the H1N1 outbreak.

A 35-year-old female patient died at the Ram Manohar Lohia (RML) Hospital on Wednesday night becoming the first victim of the virus in the national capital.

Thirty one year old Samrat Pandeya, a resident of Gurgaon, who was initially treated at various private hospitals and later brought to the RML Hospital, succumbed to the virus on Thursday morning.

Aside from the rather odd inconsistancy between the two paragraphs, Samrat Pandeya was a 31 year old man who died in Delhi at RML on August 20. He's case #37 in the DB. He was originally reported as Samrat Pandey.

The 35yo woman turned out to be 38 yo Renu Gupta, case # 36 who also died in RML on August 20th.

Methinks there are some very confused correspondants out there!
