‘Poor man’s diseases’ rampant in India: WHO
Geneva, Oct 14, Agencies:

India continues to rank very high in the prevalence of neglected tropical diseases like dengue, rabies and soil-transmitted helminthiasis, according to a report released by the World Health Organisation on Thursday.

“Of the world’s poorest 2.7 billion people (defined as those who live on less than $ 2.00 a day), more than 1 billion are affected by one or more neglected tropical diseases (NTDs), says the report.

Though country-wide estimates are not provided, India is expected to have a majority of the 1 billion NTD-patients given the high incidence of poverty coupled with poor sanitary and hygiene conditions.The diseases which are prevalent in rural areas and urban slums include leishmaniasis, lymphatic filariasis, and trachoma.

Should the country the right to health
Medical facilities need to be addressed

Recently diphtheria in Rajasthan (Galhontw) because 29 children were killed in 50 days.

Grass untimely period made these kids, not only in Rajasthan, India has been sick. Every age, every class seems the person is suffering. Lack of health services, doctors say Awhelnoan or because of insensitivity to ordinary people in crisis. Dengue is prevalent in Uttar Pradesh's havoc. Dengue and other mysterious fever in the past two months, more than 10 thousand people have died. Malaria deaths are the latest figures alarming. Government and the World Health Organization estimates that about fifteen thousand people every year in India die due to the disease. But medical science magazine Lahnset "reported the actual number of deaths from malaria in India is two million annually. This is different that the World Health Organization has described these figures exaggerated, but no two opinions that grows in the path of economic growth is unhealthy India.

Cause illness only in remote rural areas lack of medical care is not clear, but lack of awareness - not to clean too. Black jar, measles, cholera, tuberculosis, hepatitis, etc. They are diseases that not many people every year to make your victim. Availability of clean drinking water from these diseases Teadatar clean - clean and resistant to ignore vaccine that can be imposed because of the time is not on. Millions each year's budget, is to improve health services, but does not improve the situation anywhere. Last year, Health Minister, also acknowledged that over a quarter of the country in most immune to raise children and waterborne diseases vaccines are not installed on time.

According to National Family Health Survey reported a positive development in relation to vaccine children can not watch. Only 43.5 percent of children still find the same look all vaccines. Indian Medical Research Council study has revealed the fact that 39 percent of neonatal deaths in the country the first day of birth is. Ie 3.57 million babies born premature death of the first day of the grass become.

Issued by the Registrar General of India reported antenatal population status (71 percent), respiratory-related infections, parasitic diseases and diarrhea, etc. They are victims of reasons which resulted in infant mortality. The State of Asia Peeisefikas Children 'by the South Asian and Asia - Pacific children and maternal health problems and trends of the intensive survey and study has been and child health in South Asian countries especially India has expressed disappointment at the situation . India set for reducing child mortality is still the various Millennium health goals, MDG 1 (to improve the level of nutrition and diet were fixed targets), MDG 5 (health status of mothers to raise the target ) Kare developing countries to achieve, even from countries like Sri Lanka is back.

On the strength of economic growth in the years developed countries anxious to join the line of development of India by then will be called to incomplete As long as every citizen is not healthy. According to World Health Organization "Health" means the diagnosis of diseases not only physical and mental well being is the positive condition. World population, 16.5 per cent stake in the Indian play contributes to 20 per cent of the world's ills. National Rural Health Mission was implemented four years but still a million set for the population 50 to 60 percent of specialists in community health centers are vacant. healthy to remove these barriers in the way of India is a must.

Assam's initiative in this direction may be an example for other states. Assam state government has decided to give people the right to health. In this regard, the Assembly Bill 11 in March, 2010 was presented. If the bill takes the form of law, every public and private hospital seriously ill people to the initial twenty-four hours will be necessary to provide free emergency medical. Under the law not only hospitals and doctors, but they will come all the activities, which have an impact on people's health. Improve the condition of public health services by the Center for the efforts previously have not received any meaningful results. In such cases across the country to get a healthy life requires concrete steps in this direction is appropriate.

. Dengue is prevalent in Uttar Pradesh's havoc. Dengue and other mysterious fever in the past two months, more than 10 thousand people have died.

10,000 fever fatalities is an order of magnitude larger than any of the previous estimates of 1,000-1,200 fatalities. It would be interesting (but likely unknowable) what the author bases this estimate on. I believe that source is based in Assam, not UP, so it is unlikely to be based on private information.
