Nepal- Bird flu outbreak springs from govt closet

2010-12-14 12:49 AM

TIKA R PRADHAN

KATHMANDU: Government authorities are found to have kept the public in the dark about a bird flu outbreak in a poultry farm in Narayangarh, Chitwan.

Two days after the chickens at Nawaganga Poultry Farm in Mangalpur-3 showed symptoms of the disease, rapid test had revealed H5N1 avian influenza virus on October 27. The symptoms were confirmed by real time Polymerase Chain Reaction in a central veterinary laboratory on October 28. The sample was tested positive in Veterinary Laboratories Agency (VLA), in the United Kingdom on November 19.

However, the public was not informed about the disease.

Once the bird flu is spotted, there is a mandatory provision that the government has to inform the general public via a press conference. The council of ministers has to declare the cases.

Sources claimed that the Cabinet had refused to declare the outbreak even after it was informed about it in October-end.

Dr Ram Krishna Khatiwada, programme director, Directorate of Animal Health, in his capacity as the communication officer from Nepal to World Organisation for Animal Health (OIE), reported the case to the OIE only on December 12. Around 11,500 poultry were destroyed by the government agency at the poultry farm during this recent outbreak.

Last year also, the government had refused to disclose information about bird flu outbreak in different parts of the country. The government was forced to disclose the outbreak a month later after THT informed the public about the possible danger.

Experts say this is a breach of Standard Operation Protocol on the part of the government and negligence in protecting human health. “Avian influenza is a deadly disease, which quickly spreads from birds to human population,” said Dr Sital Kaji Shrestha, secretary of Nepal Veterinary Association.

Dr Khatiwada confirmed the outbreak, but added it was the ministry’s responsibility to inform the public. “We have informed the OIE after containing the disease and now Nepal holds avian influenza free status,” he said.

Commonground's Indonesia Commentary: Lack of Test Results Breed Distrust

I posted a list of suspected & confirmed cases in Indonesia since August 2010. It can be found here.

Indonesia's policy for suspected H5N1 patients, is to test them 4 times. The only problem I have, is that we never hear about the test results. We only hear about the 4th result. The 4th result is, for the most part, always negative. It would be negative, after being on Tamiflu for an extended period.

Indonesia has had 3 confirmed cases since August 2010 and the "suspected" cases are too many to count, as you can see in my list. Until Indonesia can disclose all test results on each case, and become more transparent, the suspected cases are worth mentioning, as I do not trust them.

Thailand: Health officials warned of renewed outbreak of H5N1 virus

BANGKOK, Dec 12 -- Health officials throughout Thailand have been alerted to the possibility of a renewed outbreak of H5N1 virus as temperatures in the country continue dropping during the ongoing winter season, said Dr Paichit Varachit, Permanent Secretary for Public Health.

Cold weather is now affecting a number of areas in Thailand, allowing the virus to stay alive in the environment longer, causing people to become easily exposed to viruses, especially the deadly H5N1 virus which could break out again during the ongoing winter season, Dr Paichit said.

Although there have been no new patients diagnosed with H5N1 virus reported during the past four years in the country, risks from the disease persisted on two key factors including from natural birds which could carry the disease along with patients in the Asian region who had died from the disease earlier, he said.

Doctors of public hospitals have been asked to question thoroughly on patients suffering from high fever, cough, headache and diarrhea and if they are suspected of suffering from the bird flu fever, an anti-virus Oseltamivir medicine should be given to them immediately as it could cure the patients within two days after they first catch those illnesses, Dr Paichit said.

The first bird flu patient was found in Thailand in 2004 and the last two years later. According to official statistics, 25 victims had contracted the disease in 18 provinces, but only 17 died.

Dr Paichit said people who have found poultry which died suspiciously should inform health officials or village headmen immediately so that the dead birds could be destroyed. People are also advised not to touch such carcasses with their bare hands or cook them because they could receive the virus. (MCOT online news)

Around 40 percent of Vietnamese poor not receive any medical treatment

Wednesday,Dec 08,2010, Posted at: 15:20(GMT+7)

Recent scientific researches have pointed out that around 40 percent needy medical patients have not received any treatment due to several reasons, said an official in the health sector at a Vietnam International Health Economics (HEA) Conference.

According to Ly Ngoc Kinh, former director of the Department of Health Examination and Treatment Management, the main reason is that many face financial difficulties. He said, “Approximately 42 percent of poor people received treatment in district clinics, while only 16.9 percent of wealthy patients did”.

The Vietnam International Health Economics (HEA) Conference, the first of its kind, which was jointly organized by the Vietnam Health Economics Association (VHEA) and the Vietnamese Ministry of Health, was held in Hanoi on December 7-8.

Vietnam: Diseases break out in southern region

Saturday ,Dec 11,2010, Posted at: 16:50(GMT+7)

The number of children and the elderly infected with respiratory diseases, dengue fever and cholera has soared in Ho Chi Minh City and southern provinces.

For a short period, there was a lull in these diseases, however, lately; they have come back in force.

At the HCMC Children Hospital No.1, the respiratory department has been overwhelmed with 200-230 children a day. There are only 100 sick beds in the hospital, and several children have been treated for pneumonia, bronchitis and asthma.

In addition, the number of children hospitalsed is also on the rise, and most of them come from the Mekong Delta.

Similarly, in the HCMC Children Hospital No.2, respiratory and digestion departments are overcrowded with sick children. The hospital has treated at least 3,000 children a day, several of them suffering from respiratory and digestion diseases.

A doctor said that on average, he treats about 60 to 70 children a day, but now it is over 100 children a day.

The Pasteur Institute in the city said that since the beginning of the year, the southern region has been infected with over 64,800 patients suffering from dengue fever, with 65 people dying from this disease.

The dengue fever spread to 16 of 20 provinces and cities in the region. Furthermore, An Giang, Ben Tre, Binh Duong and Dong Thap provinces have seen an increase in the number of patient dying from the disease.

Every week in HCMC over 500 people are hospitalized due to dengue fever and that is an increase of 50 percent over the same period last year.

In addition, recently a child has died and two others hospitalized for cholera in the Binh Chanh District of HCMC.

Nguyen Dac Tho, deputy director of HCMC Preventive Medicine Center, said “that the polluted environment around accommodation areas have triggered the disease”.

To cope with the outbreak, the HCMC Department of Health has ordered relevant organizations to implement stricter health measures to prevent any more disease from spreading, especially cholera.

The department has also instructed the district authorities to warned residents about the dangers of poor food hygiene, particularly using water from contaminated sources, thereby contributing to water-born diseases.

Vietnam: Austria pigs have led to China/Poultry From China Into Vietnam

11/12/2010

Within two months ago, Mong Cai border gate on the day transit hundreds of tons of pig "escaped" to China.

Before learning about the real situation rushing pig "escaped" to China in recent times, we've visited Animal Quarantine Station, Mong Cai, Quang Ninh. Station chief Nguyen Minh Cuong all sighed shaking his head back by the way station on the day in front of trucks carrying pigs ran jam jam but agency officials had looked at each impotence. According to the station, every day there are about 40-50 trucks transporting pigs from the gathering place in Mong Cai and smuggling to China. At least 10 tons per vehicle pigs, a total of nearly 500 tonnes of sugar quota under the boat.
-snip-
Most of Binh Dinh, Thai Binh, Hung Yen ... Every day there's dozens of trips to the provinces in pigs at the collection point.
-snip-
Many concerns

There is a strange thing is that almost everyone knows the export of pigs in-quota across the border into China at the end of the year was against the rules, but violating the principle seems to be "ignored." The main responsibility of the Market Management Department, Veterinary Quang Ninh province, but the pig export quota met hardly any interference from these forces.

While pigs Austria went well in China, Mong Cai, chicken also massively smuggling contraband across the border. His strength properties that border 90 km from Tien Yen District to Mong Cai city, every night, footsteps in chickens smuggled sugar quota overflow. Estimated tens of tons per day and chicken "break" over the border and then by bus to spill into consumption. Absolutely no control or handle anything. And of course the number of smuggled chickens can not know what diseases are not.

Explain the situation has left way information flow. Was that pork exports are under quota though, hard to control it more or less beneficial as this will stimulate the livestock industry. So the export of pigs "illegal" despite being seen as contrary to principle but is tacit green light. But we also have comments concerned the massive exports to China pig like pig meat will cause shortages, especially at a time when our country bordered festival is on track to recovery after the storm flock " storm blue ear. "

In a recent meeting of the Animal Husbandry Department (MARD) has mentioned the problem of "pork exports massively." There are fears the livestock industry in the country despite an average increase of 7-8% per year but still can not meet domestic consumer demand, businesses still have to import meat. By this time, Vietnam has imported 60,000 tons of pork and poultry. From now until the end of 2010, will have to import 20,000 more tons. The Ministry has asked localities to strictly control increase the export of pigs across the border, but in the main to Nguyen Minh Cuong, the control is nearly impossible.

"Pigs are just" going "massively so, so many difficulties arise. How about supply and demand are not known but the situation is difficult because of quarantine forces too thin. Prescribed by the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development, the local quarantine station must contain the clue. However, Quang Ninh province has not done this "- his strength fear.
