Central team push to PMCH for virus test

Shuchismita Chakraborty

A central government team visited Patna Medical College and Hospital on Thursday to check facilities at its virology lab, to be made functional next month.

Umesh C. Chaturvedi and D. A. Gadkari - noted virologists and scientific consultants from the Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR) - were part of the three-member central government team. A source said the team asked PMCH officials to start encephalitis syndrome test at the health hub by May 30 at any cost.

Last year, Bihar had failed to use the funds allocated by the Union government to tackle severe and repeated outbreaks of encephalitis. Sources claimed that the state used only 1 per cent of the Rs 28.87 crore fund the Centre provided for the 2014-15 fiscal under the national programme to prevent Japanese Encephalitis and Acute Encephalitis Syndrome (AES).



Several children suffering from AES have died in the state so far

...

The sources claimed that the central team asked Patna Medical College principal S.N. Sinha to monitor the progress of the virology lab of the hospital, "The team also asked the hospital to make the virology lab 24x7 once it starts functioning. We have also been asked not to refuse a single case," said the virologist with PMCH.#

Extra ICU beds for kids distant reality

- aes cases rise, ex-minister's promise forgotten
Khwaja Jamal in Muzaffarpur

The creation of additional 100 beds in the intensive care unit of the paediatric ward of Shri Krishna Medical College and Hospital (SKMCH) has been completely ignored.

On a visit to the facility on June 21 last year, then Union health minister Harsh Vardhan had announced that 100 more beds would be added to the facility. But nothing of that sort has been done till date though the admission of children afflicting with acute encephalitis syndrome (AES) is gradually rising this year.

Moreover, the erstwhile health minister had also promised that 10 more beds would be created in government hospitals in adjoining AES-hit districts of Sitamarhi, Sheohar, Motihari and Samastipur. Help to establish a virology laboratory in all five medical colleges of the state was another of his promises.

Neither the virology lab was set up nor the requisite infrastructure needed to create the additional beds at SKMCH to tackle the cases, saw the light of day.
...
The chief medical officer, Gyan Bhushan, said: "So far, 20 confirmed cases of AES have been to SKMCH, mostly from Motihari, Sitamarhi, Sheohar and Muzaffarpur. Seven of those children have died. Six AES-positive children have been cured and discharged."

No shahi litchis from Bihar for president, PM this summer

Patna, June 5 IANS13 hours ago

Owing to poor quality of shahi litchis this season, the Bihar government has decided against gifting the summer fruit to President Pranab Mukherjee, Prime Minister Narendra Modi and the diplomatic corps in the national capital, officials said on Friday.

Northern Bihar, including Muzaffarpur, accounts for over 62 percent of the country's litchi yield. Muzaffarpur district is also known as the 'Land of Litchis'.

...

He said that litchi growers pointed out that hot weather conditions, followed by hailstorms, this year had prevented the fruit from getting enough flesh and juice.

...

Purve said that the size of litchis this year was very small.

"Extreme weather (conditions) resulted in small-sized fruit. Each litchi should ideally weigh at least 35 gm to 40 gm. but it is only 20 gm this year. The fruit's skin and flesh too is fragile, splitting due to direct sunlight or excessive heat, getting infected by insects in the process," the official added.

Paramedical staff strike hits medicare at SKMCH
Priti Nath Jha,TNN | Jun 5, 2015, 03.43 AM IST

MUZAFFARPUR: Hundreds of patients had to return home disappointed from S K Medical College Hospital (SKMCH), Muzaffarpur, without getting any treatment on Thursday as all paramedical staff appointed on contract basis, numbering over 60, proceeded on an indefinite strike demanding regularization of their services by the state government.

Confirming an "extensive adverse impact" on the working of the hospital due to the strike, SKMCH superintendent Dr G K Thakur said as majority of para medical staff of the hospital are only on contract, working of the hospital has been seriously affected particularly operation theatres, pathological laboratories and medicine distribution. Three of the four counters for drug distribution remained closed. All assistants and lab technicians are working on contract. Although Dr Thakur claimed that he was trying to provide emergency services to the patients, he conceded that even emergency services had been badly hit by the strike.

Striking para medical staff have decided to extend their service to children suffering from acute encephalitis syndrome (AES) on humanitarian basis but parents of affected children are preferring to keep away their children from SKMCH due to uncertainty prevailing there. Such cases were being diverted to private nursing homes.
