Assam's failure to implement Japanese encephalitis warning system leaves health officials fuming

TNN | Jul 22, 2016, 08.46 AM IST

Guwahati: Japanese encephalitis has caused 59 deaths in the state so far. The failure to implement an early warning syste, by the state health department has drawn the ire of the developers of the system. The state health officials considered the system unfeasible and too scientific for actual implementation.
The warning system was developed in Assam by scientists at the Regional Medical research Centre (RMRC) in collaboration with the North East Space Application Research Centre (NESAC). It uses Remote Sensing and Geographic Information System, the previous year's JE data along with meteorological data to predict JE outbreaks.
...
Till Thursday, 240 positive JE cases were reported. Nagaon and Sivasagar districts reported the highest number of cases 33 and 28 respectively.
...
http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/...lth-officials-fuming/articleshow/53331179.cms

Ro's comment: On June 30 NVBDCP reported 468 cases (62 fatal) of AES in Assam of which 83 (21 fatal) were confirmed JE. If the number of confirmed cases of JE has tripled in the past 3 weeks to 240 (59 fatal), it can be assumed that the overall number of cases of AES and resulting fatalities will have tripled also.

IMPHAL, Jul 22: Health Director Dr O Ibomcha has categorically stated that people need not be panicky even though some positive cases of Japanese Encephalitis (JE) have been detected.

Apart from carrying out vaccination campaigns, fogging has been done in all the areas located within a radius of one to two Kms of the places where JE cases have been confirmed.
...
Dr Ibomcha appealed to all the parents to vaccinate their children in time. Of the nine people infected by JE, one has been taken to Guwahati, while the others are undergoing treatment at JNIMS, RIMS and Mothers? Care Children Hospital, Sagolband. The nine positive cases were reported from Lilong Haoreibi, Langthabal Lep Makha Leikai, Sagoltongba Mayai Leikai, Kwakeithel Mayai Koibi, Yairipok Changamdabi, Zion village of Chandel, Nongdam village of Ukhrul and New Lamka of Churachandpur. Earlier, an official team led by Health Minister DK Korungthang and Health Director O Ibomcha visited Komlathabi PHC and Aimol Tampak PHSC where they distributed anti-JE vaccines apart from supervising fogging done in the surrounding areas.
