Swine Flu Scare in India

Sadly, Swine Flu scare is becoming common in India and people in cities Like Pune are suffering greatly from this scare. First death from Swine Flu in India is reported from Pune and two more patients suffering from Swine Flu are put on ventilator in Pune. Therefore, Pune has emerged as hotspot of Swine Flu. Tamil Nadu state has even issued a healthy advisory to its people to not travel to Maharashtra and its main cities like Pune and Mumbai.

Indian government is claiming that situation is under their control and they are doing everything to stop this flu from spreading. The main problem in detecting Swine Flu is that its tests are only available in government hospitals as government has not allowed private hospital to do such tests. Moreover, numbers of test centres per city are very less from one to five only. Therefore, people are finding it hard to get proper treatment related to Swine Flu.

One patient which is now on ventilator in Pune hospital was earlier released unchecked by the test centre because he was not meeting with criteria set by government for conducting test like he visited foreign country or he meet with some Swine flu infected patient recently etc. At present problem is very small but still our health system is failing to control this problem. This problem can easily go out of control if numbers of Swine Flu patients increased across India.

It is important for government of India to come up with some fast plans to isolate Swin Flu patients from common public in earlier stage. At present, we can only pray to god that Swin Flu should not spread any further.
