Encephalitis epidemic: Why India?s response is falling apart
by Pallavi Polanki Oct 11, 2012
Earlier this month, the National Commission for Protection of Child Rights lambasted the Uttar Pradesh government for its ?casual? response to the rising death toll from Japanese Encephalitis (JE) and acute encephalitis (AES) in the eastern districts of the state.

This season alone, nearly 400 (now 420 in UP - Ro) people have lost their lives to the disease.

The encephalitis outbreak occurs with frightening regularity in India. For decades now, thousands of children from some of the poorest regions of Uttar Pradesh, Bihar and Assam, have succumbed to the disease, although it is preventable.

Why has India failed so miserably to control the epidemic?

Firspost spoke to Manish Kakkar, senior public health specialist at the Public Health Foundation of India (PHFI), on what he makes of the government?s response to the health crisis and what the way forward should be.

The Central government will provide financial assistance to states to fight Japanese Encephalitis, which has already claimed around 1,000 lives, including 400 in western Uttar Pradesh alone.
A Cabinet committee on Thursday is expected to approve Rs. 4,000 crore assistance plan which includes Rs. 2,000 crore for providing safe drinking water and sanitation and Rs. 1,300 crore to other ministries.
The plan includes funding for expanding the encephalitis vaccination programme to 62 districts, setting up special Intensive Care Units for the patients and capacity building at the district and the state level.

As per the Cabinet note circulated by the Health Ministry, the Central government will also provide funds for rehabilitation of the victims and improving their nutrition levels to fight the disease which has repeatedly hit several districts in western Uttar Pradesh and Uttarakhand.

A group of ministers had recommended a set of measures to check spread of the dreaded disease.

With no government action, Bihar reels under encephalitis outbreak
Prabhakar Kumar, CNN-IBN

Gaya: The Cabinet is finally set to discuss the encephalitis outbreak that has claimed the lives of hundreds of children this year. The disease is a cause for alarm not just in eastern UP but Bihar as well.
Ten months ago, Pinky was a normal child who played, went to school and helped at home. But she is crippled after she survived the deadly mosquito-borne Encephalitis. Despite this being a reccurring disease in Bihar, the government's readiness is almost nothing. A visit to any of the government hospital in the state will reflect the same story.
Civil Surgeon in Gaya, Krishna Balabh Prasad, said, "A child with encephalitis either dies or develops a disability. The situation is serious." Pinky was lucky not to have lost her life, unlike the 300-odd children who have died in Bihar alone in 2012.

Encephalitis. 120 days. 400 Children dead.

The epidemic no one cares about

A WOMAN?S blood-curdling scream rings out in the dark room. Dr Mahima Mittal, who is attending to a patient, shifts her gaze to the farthest corner of the room to locate the crying mother, but in vain. A power cut has made it impossible to see beyond a few feet. Otherwise, a cursory glance would reveal dozens of unconscious children huddled up in beds that cover the floor from end to end.


450 dead and still counting...
The scream signals the death of yet another child due to encephalitis in the paediatric ward of the Baba Raghav Das Medical College (BRDMC) in Gorakhpur, Uttar Pradesh. It?s the third death of the morning, on 29 September. By the end of the day, the toll would reach seven. But the doctors have no time to mourn. They have to monitor the condition of 90 children who are fighting for their lives in the same ward.

BRDMC is the only medical facility that has a dedicated encephalitis ward in this region where more than 50,000 people have died of the dreaded disease since 1978, when the first case of encephalitis was reported from Gorakhpur. The medical college hospital serves encephalitis patients from 19 districts of Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, Assam and sometimes patients from the bordering areas of Nepal too.

For the harried doctors, it?s just another day in the paediatric-turned-epidemic ward, which has seen the most number of child deaths in the country. More than 400 children have succumbed to encephalitis in this hospital since June. The average toll is 3-4 per day, but on some days, the death count crosses double digits.

Spotlight on Japanese Encephalitis: A Neglected Public Health Problem
Oct 11, 2012

Between June and September, monsoon rains sweep across India, washing away the arid soil of the summer and irrigating the enormous rice fields that stretch across the country. Approximately 80 percent of India?s rain falls during this season and farmers eagerly anticipate the weeks of heavy downpour, with which their livelihoods are so intimately intertwined.
Monsoon season, however, brings not only the rain but also a slew of unpleasant disease-carrying vectors. The humid, damp air and stagnant pools of water lend themselves as ideal breeding grounds for infectious microorganisms. Cases of malaria and dengue, two of the more notorious mosquito-borne illnesses, explode across India, and the already fragile health infrastructure of this country is typically unable to handle the influx of patients. However, in the rural, farming villages children are dying of a disease that has received little media coverage despite its prevalence.
The Japanese encephalitis virus (JEV) is the most common cause of childhood viral encephalitis in the world, and India?s children are some of the most vulnerable to infection.
