Attacking AIDS in India

HIV/ AIDS are too attacked at all levels in India to
over

come disaster. Prevention as well as control of this

dreadful disease is being taken in a full fledged

condition. Millions of dollars are flowing in to attack

this menace. Bill Gates leads them all in contributing

$100million grant. There is a prediction that
30millions

will be attacked by AIDS in India. Govt. of India has

raised to the fullest extent to save the innocent and

poverty stricken Indians from this AIDS. The drugs

available are expensive to overcome this problem and
the

TamilNadu State AIDS Control Society feels that one has
to

spend Rs3000/month for medicines alone. Hence crores of

foreign funds have to be spent for drug apart from

propaganda services to prevent HIV/ AIDS.

National AIDS control organization helps the people
living

with AIDS for the past 20 years. The first attack of
AIDS

in India was identified by Suniti Solomon. Another lady
by

name Khausalya mooted the idea of starting positive
women?s

network in Chennai. She admits that more money is spent
for

expensive publicity rather than for care of the HIV-
AIDS

patients. This is probably disheartening as many still

suffer for want of medicines, ward beds and isolated

accommodation. The TamilNadu state govt. gives a
helping

hand but it is not sufficient to meet the demand.
Mother to

Child?s Transmission Project was started by TamilNadu
and

it had successfully implemented it in more than a dozen

medical college hospitals in the state and in many

districts headquarters hospitals. Though it is
expensive

much attention is given to anti retroviral therapy
offered

to several lakhs of pregnant women. Dr. Suniti Solomon

claims that

TamilNadu leads other states in India when considering
the

rigorous campaign against HIV/AIDS and intensive care
taken

in hospitals like Tambaram hospital specially meant for

this dangerous disease. Every month the no. of patients

approaching for treatment has been increasing from 700
to

2000. The facilities available to tackle it are in a
bad

condition. There are only 700 and odd beds even though
in-

patients have crossed 1000. In Tambaram many are made
to

lie on the floor and verandah which itself spreads to
the

visitors and the entire arena badly. The staff strength
has

also to be improved as they have many vaccines yet to
be

filled up says Suniti Solomon. These staffs are meant
to

provide neat and tidy surroundings as the treatment for

HIV/AIDS mainly demands such an atmosphere. Once this

aspect is neglected, then the situation worsens.
Frequent

washing of floors with disinfectants, washing of bed

spreads bed sheets with hot water sprinkled with
dettol,

enabling patients to be mosquito and fly free are some
of

the activities to be undertaken. Disposal of hospital

wastes too play a vital role.

In the center, the govt. of India, with all vehemence

implements the anti AIDS program through National AIDS

Control Organization which monitors all programs of
India.

To attack AIDS, proper data are to be collected to
manage

the recovery program. Hence the Center for Enquiry into

Health and Allied Themes does an excellent job in Delhi
to

feed the public and the philanthropists about the

increasing parasite. The people who are well off never

report it to govt. authorities or govt. hospitals and

instead they undergo all therapies in private nursing
homes

secretly. Such figures are not revealed to the public
which

may exceed several lakhs say the data collection center

staff.

National highways in Maharastra, tourist spots in
Andhra

Pradesh, Karnataka, TamilNadu, Orissa, and West Bengal

cases of AIDS are reported due to floating population
who

are in coontact with prostitutes. Most of the cases are
from

the age group of 16-45 who are sexually active and

economically productive.

In India the total health expenditure is 4.9% of GDP.
Child

mortality m/f per 1000 is 89/88 and adult mortality m/f
per

1000 is 291/222 says the health statisticians. The
health

service organizations proclaim that HIV/AIDS in India

spreads fast due to urban prostitutes, migrant workers,
and

truck drivers, unsterilised needles in petty nursing
homes

and in uncared health centers. Blood transfusion has in

large number caused AIDS in India, reports a leading

physician in the north. Proper testing is lacking
before

offering blood to a patient.

Rajeev Gandhi, the former PM of India, introduced the

Panchayat Raj. It aims governance at the grass root
level.

Now the health care implementations in India have been

handed over to Panchayat Raj institutions. So any
health

problems will be analyzed and attacked at district and
sub-

district level.

The aims of National Rural Health Mission are to be

fulfilled through this method only in India says the

present PM. Around Rs700cr have been allocated to
improve

health care in India. Well trained females in this
aspect

will do the needful through out India to cater the
states

which are badly in need of basic health care to the
people.

There are many lakhs of community health centers in
ignored

conditions without basic amenities and infrastructure.
So

the allocated funds will be spent on it to improve
health

care.
