Chickengunia in Gujarat.
by Harish Chandwani on Oct 09, 2006 11:03 AM   Permalink

This is deadly virus affected the people of Gujarat and Saurashtra. This has exposed the health system failure due to unexpected quantum of rains and clearing of waterblockage which became breeding ground in low lying area in Ahmedabad. Lot of measures are required to cope up with the situation.
The pertaining situation in the above stated areas has not fully covered in the media. I have myself observed the patients in the hospitals specially aged people fighting against the infection in Ahmedabad. Lot of people have the chickengunia infection out of ignorance and treatment have lost their life.
In my family also active aged person has the suffering and hospital treatment could save the vital organs without direct treatment against the virus.It has affected the disorientation of neuro system due to viral effect.
It is needed at this juncture for medicinal R&D to come out with the collabrative arrangement for drugs and well defined line of treatment.
