BHUBANESWAR: A woman tested positive for swine flu in the state on Sunday taking the number of H1N1 cases to two. The government, meanwhile, has sounded a flu alert. TOI was first to report the return of the dreaded disease in the state this year, which had killed 32 people in Odisha in 2010.
SCB Medical College and Hospital not prepared to tackle swine flu
CUTTACK: The state government has sounded an alert after two swine flu cases were detected in the state and it has also claimed that adequate measures have been taken to deal with the situation. But the reality is completely different as the state's premier SCB Medical College and Hospital is yet to open a swine flu ward.
According to hospital sources, even there is no adequate stock of Tamiflu medicines and ventilators, used in the treatment of the swine flu.
The lack of preparedness of the hospital to tackle swine flu has drawn flak from different sections of the society. "Swine flu cases have been reported in the state, but the callous SCB authorities are yet to open an isolated swine flu ward. If any critical swine flu patient is brought to the hospital, the hospital is ill prepared to treat," said Pravat Das, a member of advocate committee appointed by the Orissa high court to look after the health facilities in the state. He further stated that if this is the preparedness of the state's biggest referral hospital then just imagine how equipped are the district headquarter hospital to deal with swine flu.
