Malkangiri hospital stretched as Japanese encephalitis death toll climbs
PRAFULLA DAS

Twenty-five-year-old Nande Madhi lost her three-year-old daughter Devaki a few days ago in this remote village in Odisha?s tribal-dominated Malkangiri district. She was one of at least 52 children who died from Japanese Encephalitis (JE) over the past five weeks.

Even as Ms. Madhi comes to terms with her daughter?s death, more than 40 children were undergoing treatment in the district headquarters hospital, many of them battling for life. Only four critically affected children were being treated in the four beds that the hospital?s intensive care unit has. The prognosis does not look good for the other children as well.
...
In the official records of the district headquarters hospital the name of Ms. Madhi?s daughter does not figure in the list of the children who have died due to JE. Devaki was discharged from the hospital after four days of treatment and her mother was not informed whether the child was suffering from JE. She died in her village a few days after suffering from cold and high fever at home.

?Had the doctors diagnosed that Devaki was suffering from JE and kept her in the hospital, I may not have lost my only child,? said Ms. Madhi, who lives in a thatched house as she had not been allotted a house under the Indira Awas Yojana of the Centre or Mo Kudia Yojana of the State government.

As many deaths go unreported with children like Devaki dying every day, the opposition BJP has alleged that the total number of deaths in Malkangiri would be at least 75, while the Congress has said the figure could be over 100.
...
Surprisingly, the entire district had only 23 doctors working in different hospitals as against the required number of 115, when the JE official death toll crossed 40 a few days ago. The district headquarters hospital had 13 doctors, including two dentists, when it should have at least 40 doctors to meet the requirement during normal months. More doctors are being posted in the region now.

Odisha Sun Times Bureau
Bhubaneswar, Oct 16:

Odisha BJP General Secretary Bhrugu Baxipatra today questioned the government numbers on Japanese Encephalitis deaths in the state and alleged that 150 have died of it in Malkangiri district alone.

Briefing reporters in Bhubaneswar today, Baxipatra said that people across 99 villages in six blocks of the district have been affected in the disease. Besides, he claimed that nine kids have died in past three days.



?Odisha Government is trying to spin facts. Even though the State Government made an announcement to distribute 30 lakh mosquito nets, only 11,000 have been distributed. While the Health Secretary committed to distribute 50,000 nets, none have reached beneficiaries,? said Baxipatra.

He further added that the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria (GFATM) had made an announcement to distribute as many as one core mosquito nets, but has not distributed any. In addition, the government issued a tender to procure mosquito nets and later cancelled it.
