Samastipur . 4-year-old boy dies due to sperm fever in Ram Tola, located at Gothra in Rosda block. It has been reported that on Monday, Deepak Ram's son Golu Kumar suddenly got a high fever. Due to the communication path obstructed, the family reached a private clinic on the pedestrians, taking the child on foot. But, there were no doctors. After this the sub-divisional hospital was taking over. But, the child died on the way. Due to this, the name of the deceased could not be registered in the hospital register. Local people have been cursing governance and administration. I wish, if the path had been made, then certainly the child could be taken to the hospital in the living state. Let's say that there is a lack of access path in Gothra's Ramotola. With the help of the fields, the lives of the villagers are being cut in some way.

Bihar deaths an example for Indian media on how not to report on disease outbreaks
It is easy for the media to sensationalise the Bihar tragedy and feel good about itself. But that won?t save lives.
T. JACOB JOHN Updated: 26 June, 2019 11:15 am IST
...
It?s not just diseases, media reports on the recent Bihar deaths are also a type of dangerous ?outbreak?. The cacophony in the media is the sign of a larger disease and reflects the confusion among healthcare workers, locally and nationally.

Lack of evidence-based disease diagnosis and lack of purpose, focus and clarity in media descriptions shows the ills of both medicine and media.
...
Media should utilise reporters familiar with health and disease. The blind cannot lead the blind. Those who report on diseases and outbreaks should familiarise themselves with the basics of reporting on medicine ? including the correct names of diseases.

In democratic nations, the state has clear responsibilities regarding people?s health. The numbers and specifics of an outbreak are formally and authoritatively put out by the state for the public. But not in India. Those interested in distribution and determinants of disease depend on an alert media for reasonably reliable information. So, the media has the responsibility to be objective in observations and erudite in interpretations. But for media reports, the large numbers of children dying in Gorakhpur and Muzaffarpur would not have come to people?s attention.
...
Media being outside that system, can see it objectively, investigate the defects and suggest remedies. The purposeless and sensationalised reports that have flooded the media, especially social media, can?t fill the vacuum of authentic reports. Investigative reports would have helped the system, prevented the outbreak and saved lives. Remember, these outbreaks have been an annual occurrence in Muzaffarpur since 1995.

It can not work like this, we need answers. In this regard, the court has issued notice to Center and Bihar government for filing of replies within 7 days.


The reason for AES is not known, there is no relationship with Lechi

Vishal Nath, director of the National Lei Research Center (NRCL), located at Muzaffarpur, says, "If acute encephalitis syndrome (AES) is related to lechi food, then it is not even in January and February.

Regarding the reasons behind the disease, Nath said, "The true reason for this disease has not been revealed yet.

AES disease also did discrimination in Bihar, son less daughters came to know more, know
Publish Date: Thu, 27 Jun 2019 09:25 PM (IST)

Mujaffarpur [Prem Shankar Mishra]. Jiyallal Ram of Musakachar of Meenapar had three children. Two sons and a daughter. But, this year the daughter left the family together. On June 7, Madhu (four) died from AES. Jialal's heart to do Kanyadan remained incomplete. Ali Hussein Ansari of Raghopur of this block lost two daughters to this disease.

In year 2005, the eldest daughter Shahzadi Khatana got a fever. When he went to the square he lost his temper. At that time the disease was not so much noise. After 14 years, the second daughter (four) Ashmin also got the gift of this disease.

Daughters lost their lives


The AES havoc has not broken on the daughters of these two families of Meenapur who do their wages. Manoj Sah, one of two daughters, Kamini (eight) also died of this disease. To save the second daughter Anjali (10), mother Anita Devi went to her maternal uncle's house. Kanchan Kumari (4.5), daughter of Arvind Thakur of Nandana and Bitia Ganguja (five) of Rajkishore Mahto of Nun Chapra also lost the battle of life.



In these five villages of the block, there is a similar thing in the massacre of AES. These villages have lost daughters only. This time AES has wreaked havoc on daughters. See also the statistics of children who died in SKMCH and Kejriwal Hospital, there are 60 to 65 percent of the girls who died. According to official statistics, 20 children have died in Kejriwal Hospital. They have 13 girls.

Poor classes are not conscious about nutrition

Speaking about this, Dr. Gopal Shankar Sahni, Head, Department of Pediatric Disease, SKMCH. He said, girls this year are more afflicted with AES. The reason for this is that even in the village people do not pay more attention to girls than boys. However, poor classes are not much conscious about nutrition. Girls are not given much attention. For this reason, girls were also suffering from this disease.


Daughters are not too fortunate to milk

We also talked about nutrition from some of the villages. It was found in this that most of the children have tasted this nutritious substance after leaving mother's milk. Children of poor families can eat sweets only at a banquet or fair. If you ever get milk for a few times, then you have got the son (son). Daughters of poor families do not even have milk

The condition of Anganwadi centers running to nurture the children is also not good. Because of this, do not send the girls there. They share hands with their mother in the work. This is the reason that the level of nutrition in the daughters of these poor families is less than the boys. The outcome of the disease is also higher on them. If this is the case then the girls will say, next birth is not that much what happened .....
