Roberto Gutierrez and Felipe Cardenas Turrubiartes quibrera

San Luis Potosi, San Luis Potosi .- The second wave of avian influenza in Mexico AH1N1 attack a million people during the winter months, mainly in urban areas of the country. The lethality of the disease is eight deaths per 1,000 patients, but the Federal Government will invest 2,000 million dollars in the acquisition of 30 million vaccines to 23.8 million people requiring dose.

Do not vaccinate the entire population, but only to vulnerable groups.

This was stated by the Health Secretary Jose Angel Cordova Villalobos, in an interview with EL SOL DE SAN LUIS during your visit to this city where he led the work of the Eleventh Regular Meeting of the National Health Council held in the capital.

The scope of protection of influenza vaccine AH1N1 be between 30 and 70 percent, and clarified that the new virus is high transmissibility, but with low lethality.

Mexico has been a good example to the world how to deal with an epidemic, "maybe we are limited in financial resources but not in reactivity, we were the first country to grapple with the latest virus, but the outbreak in the first months could control thanks to the participation of the population because it had not been so would have been devastating. "

Health Secretary said the threat hanging over Mexico since 2005, when he worked in the preparedness plan for pandemic, "we expected the H5 N1 virus with a fatality rate of 60 percent, but we face a different virus and had to prepare for the worst, but we control the situation. "

In the National Health Council participate in the health sector owners of each entity, which total 32, but also SEDENA health director, staff of IMSS, ISSSTE, Pemex and the president of the network of healthy communities, "we now have a joint real to implement and coordinate efforts against influenza.

Cordova Villalobos said that coupled with the work to contain the new virus the Ministry of Health is responsible to integrate the industry for universal access to health care, "is the vision of President Felipe Calder?n that everyone has the right to health, which spending does not cause us to optimize impoverishing and integrating resources to sectors to avoid duplication of efforts and expenses.

Around the effectiveness of the vaccine against human influenza, said it is not the only means of prevention because they are also mechanisms of social distancing, "it works well, simple things like washing hands, Mexicans are very mood, but it is impolite to greet someone by hand or kiss when one is sick, so we must change our culture because vaccines are complementary.

One of the major problems to combat the new evil is self-medication which is very handy in Mexico, "and more for a disease that appears to be flu is believed to be cured with antibiotics, but these only half dazed and virus not destroy it, and when it appears again around three days and severe symptoms and everything gets complicated. The secret is to go on time, he does during the first three days does not have to die. "

COMING CAMPAIGN AGAINST SEASONAL INFLUENZA

On the fifth of October begins the campaign against seasonal flu when supply 19.5 million doses for children, seniors and health personnel.

Doses will arrive in December against the H1N1 virus. "It should be clear that we are two different vaccines, one for each virus and do not apply to the population."

Dr. Jose Angel Cordova explained that people born after 1957 is a potential candidate to the virus "because the antibodies we were born before our long exposure to influenza viruses that are of many types and dupes, and by both are natural immune, but those born after 1957 are at risk of being infected.

"VIRUS natural or man?

Asked about rumors that the virus came from a laboratory, the federal official rejected that hypothesis, "that is discarded, all studies suggest that it is a virus that mutated nature, which in 1976 tested animals first, then East returned to mutate until it spread to humanity. "

THE FLARE

To date in Mexico have been documented cases of influenza 28.000. 6,000 of seasonal and 22,000 influenza A H1N1 virus.

"We hope that in the winter months, but in the case of microorganisms may be wandering behavior or atypical. As an example we have the Aedes mosquito transmits dengue Egypti, which had previously resisted an altitude of 1,500 meters above sea level But now they are. The smaller an organism becomes more adaptable.

He explained the doctor born in Leon, Guanajuato, San Luis Potosi roots but that in the second wave of human influenza virus the most affected population will be living in urban areas "by the concentration of people in the rural population is dispersed, but in urban, many are closed spaces such as shopping malls and urban transport.

He explained that the vaccine against influenza A H1N1 apply to health officials, pregnant women, children 6 to 24 months, child care staff who care for children under six months, of any age who are obese, diabetic, uncontrolled or unstable, those with lung problems, disease lower their defenses as AIDS or cancer, and those with neuromuscular problems.

Dr. Jose Angel Cordova said that 20 million doses are secured with a European company "and another 10 million are negotiating on the Chinese market where it is confirming its quality assurance, because not everything Chinese is bad, are not pirates, the patent of the vaccine does not exist ".

In Mexico we will begin to produce vaccine next year and through 2011 will begin to trade.

HUMAN CAPACITY ... "And Finance?

Asked about the impact of the economic crisis in this country, Health Secretary acknowledged that the cuts impacted the department, "but since 2000 have increased the resources of 35,000 million pesos that were received in 2000, to 133.000 million now. "

He said that will strengthen the Popular Insurance program that began in 2003 with 2,800 million pesos budget and is now 48,000 million.

"These are compelling reasons that have led to face many threats, but we have setbacks, there are 125 municipalities in the country where maternal mortality indicators equals Zambia or any African country."

Although the investment is seven percentage points of gross domestic product (GDP) will require more resources "need eight percent of GDP to consolidate infrastructure and integration of the sector"

SUPPLY AND supply shortage

Dr. Jose Angel Cordova Villalobos reported that February 24 is the deadline for all generic drugs are interchangeable, "that is going to have to prove they are as effective as the originals. In Mexico there will be good or bad drugs , all will be good. "

On the availability of medicines in the health sector, the federal official acknowledged that the problem is internal, "doctors are very vedete, I am a doctor and I still see patients, we like the latest fashions and this distorts markets . We did an analysis of the recipes that are issued and found that it prescribes a new, modern medicine is very useful, but costs 100 times more than the traditional even though both are effective.

Through a recipe program is a saving of 800 million dollars in drugs last year. "In the audit we found that 80 percent of the recipes include a specific drug, we investigate why and not logical or pursued other interest or benefit."

He noted that it has maintained a policy of transparency and rational use of resources, "many companies are upset because their profit margins, which were enormous, fell, including many pharmaceutical supply shortage caused prices to rise, it was perverse, was bad milk.

He asserted that the country has improved the supply of drugs and at this stage complaints are occasional supply shortage.

HEALTH AND ARMED FORCES

To the second wave of avian Dr. Jose Angel Cordova explained that Mexico's armed forces have had and continue to have a role in all the work of containment, "you saw when they made the distribution of covering mouths, they also distributed materials donated by other countries such as gowns, gloves and antibacterial gel in short, the military took charge of a very precise way to make the distribution according to the needs of each of the states. "

He noted that the Armed Forces are not only a stronghold in crisis, "as we look to the problems of flooding, but in health crises, and of course we continue to work in a coordinated way, so involved the Ministry of National Defense (SEDENA) in the National Health Council.

Cordova Villalobos closed the National Health Council. Photo: Eduardo Morales / Efeler country epidemiologists found that during the second wave of influenza A/H1N1 infections have in fact one and half million people affected with the virus, at least 200 thousand people will be attending medical services , up to 30 thousand require hospitalization in intensive care and 300 will die. That is, 500 thousand infected loved the original estimate.

At the close of the 11th Regular Meeting of the National Health Council, Secretary Jose Angel Cordova Villalobos said that by mid-November saw the highest peak of the virus, so that hospital admissions exceed the number of reserved beds to face the second wave of infections.

The health secretary said that during two days, along with state health secretaries, were analyzed three possible scenarios for the spread of H1N1 virus and covering an attack rate of 5, 8 and 10 percent of total population.

Cordova Villalobos recommended to state health authorities to minimize, as of October, the non-urgent surgeries.

"The use of fans is increased when patients operated occupy between 80 and 100 percent of all respirators, and this makes the hospitals running at maximum capacity and if there is overload tube patient demand we will be in trouble .

It is likely that the new wave of influenza is forward, so that should strengthen the mechanisms of containment and coordination with the public, he added.

He indicated that the batch of vaccine available in October against influenza, shall apply only to health personnel and will be expected to arrive the following for other priority groups.

He reported that studies the feasibility of the laboratory to which it will buy the vaccine against this disease below the delivery in October or November, rather than anticipated, which was in December.

In this regular meeting also was held the workshop Crisis Management Systems at the possible spread of the pandemic in the country.

"Basically there are organizational issues that are important because the ability to respond, often do not rely simply on the infrastructure you have, but the way it's organized information system to form a decision-making center .

This center, he said, will handle all situations, the logistics, planning and administration, everyone will have a specific role to play in times of crisis.

In hospitals, the organization will be different: specific medical staff will receive the sick, others only to diagnose, some more to report and upload all data to the reporting platform that will reach the central guard.

Meanwhile, the Senate announced yesterday that cited to appear to the Secretary of Health on 21 September as part of the gloss of the third report of the government of President Felipe Calder?n.

Report of victims

The Ministry of Health said last Wednesday to Friday 23 thousand 245 rose a 23 mil 774 verified cases of influenza A/H1N1 in the country, while deaths rose from 209 to 211.

In reiterating that you should not lower its guard and must maintain preventive measures such as frequent hand washing and sneezing tag because the virus is present, explained that of the 211 people killed were women, 51.2 percent and 48.8 percent male , and 71.1 percent had between 20 and 54 years old.

Of the 32 states that have confirmed cases are most concentrated in Chiapas, Yucatan, Mexico City, Jalisco, Veracruz, Tamaulipas and Tabasco.

Focuses on the northwest

The Deputy Director of Epidemiology, Hugo Lopez-Gatell, explained that the outbreaks in Baja California Sur, Sonora and Sinaloa, where there have been rapid increases in cases with the H1N1 virus, due to the fact that the pandemic has already moved northwest of the country after having crossed the center and southeast.

These are states where there were few cases at the beginning of the pandemic and that now have been forced to close a generalized and targeted schools to curb the spread of the virus.

However, Health Secretary Jose Angel Cordova Villalobos, said "concerned" by "an outbreak of influenza in Sinaloa and Baja California Sur, which are actually warning sites to see how it evolves," the virus.
