Encephalitis to be made 'notifiable disease': Centre
By PTI Published: 11th August 2016 03:05 PM Last Updated: 11th August 2016 03:05 PM

NEW DELHI: Encephalitis, which claims hundreds of lives every year in eastern India, will be made a notifiable disease, the government announced in the Lok Sabha today amid concerns expressed by members over "failure" to check it despite years of efforts.

Health Minister J P Nadda also accepted the demand of two BJP members from eastern UP, the state worst affected by the disease whose victims are mostly children, that the Gorakhpur-based unit of National Institute of Virology, Pune, be upgraded as a regional centre.

In a Calling Attention Motion, Yogi Adityanath (BJP) said over 125 children have died in BRD Hospital, Gorakhpur, alone this year due to the disease, which is also known as brain fever, and such deaths have been happening year after year since 1978. Teams of doctors and other experts have been visiting the district but it has been of little help, he said, adding innocent children there have become "guinea pigs" and the region a "laboratory".
...
A notifiable disease is required by law to be reported to authorities, allowing them to prepare in time to take preventive measures in time. During the current year, a total of 757 encephalitis cases have been reported from UP, he said.
