Noida quacks cash in on water-borne diseases Noida, April 14 All these seem to have ushered in a boom time for the quacks in
the areas. The qualified doctors have also started giving precautionary
tips to people to protect themselves from these diseases. The water
works department of the Noida Authority, however, still persists in
denying the impure water being supplied has anything to do with viral
and diarrhoea cases seriously affecting the area. The authorities have
yet to acknowledge that situation is serious in the area. The doctors,
however, feel that impure potable water and heaps of waste everywhere
are the main cause of diseases threatening the health of the people,
especially that of slum dwellers and the villagers. Though the Noida
Authority has started a cleanliness and sanitation campaign, patients
from Harola and Barola areas continue to troop into hospitals and
clinics. According to Dr Somani of the government hospital in Sector
30, the number of diarrhoea patients has been on the rise for the past
many days with an average of 50 patients visiting the government
hospital alone. The Chief Medical Officer, Dr R. C. Gaur, has already
written a letter to the Noida Authority to take effective steps to stem
diarrhoea and other viral diseases. Noida Authority’s R. S. Yadav, in
charge of health services, however, says that the Noida Authority has
undertaken cleanliness and sanitation campaign at an unprecedented scale
for the first time. Senior Project Engineer Hawa Singh Yadav claims
that only chlorinated water is being supplied to residents in Noida and
that authority officials were not pulling in different directions on
health problems as commonly perceived. |

Rise in
diarrhoea cases in Ghaziabad Ghaziabad, April 14 It seems the Health Department has failed to evolve a concrete plan to control the viral and the waterborne disease in the city. According to available information, those rushed to hospital with acute cases of gastro-enteritis include Mehar, daughter of Naushad of Nand Gram, Sarita (45), Bhawani (60), Ramesh (18), Riya (5), daughter of Nazar Ali, a resident of Ajnar and Naina (6), daughter of Somveer. According to information, the number of patients suffering from chicken pox, jaundice, diarrhoea, who have been admitted to the government hospital in serious condition has crossed 50. Reportedly, a number of patients have been admitted with similar cases to other hospitals in the district. It seems that no steps have been taken to control these diseases at the various health centers. The Health Department officials say that they had been preoccupied with the pulse polio campaign up to 15 April and thus, could not plan out a strategy to fight these diseases. Some doctors feel that if steps are not taken to control these diseases in time the situation may get out of hand. Dr Deepak Mishra feels that Health Department, GDA and Nagar Nigam should coordinate their effort to supply chlorinated potable water to the people as a first step. Moreover, sale of cut vegetables and exposed fruits and sub standard and unhygienic eatables should be banned with immediate effect. However, the CMO, Dr M.P. Singh has claimed that the government hospitals and dispensaries are well stocked with all necessary medicines. The Nagar Nigam, Nagar Palika Parished and Nagar Panchayats have been asked to supply chlorinated drinking water to the people, he said. It is difficult to get the exact position on the case
from the Health Department as their phones are always out of order.  |
