During this corona pandemic, infected patients are getting commendable help from their neighbours. Neighbours are not only providing moral strength to patients but also providing all the necessary items of daily living because the administration’s approach in meeting the daily needs of home-isolated patients is disappointing.
The most dangerous situation is that the health department has neither provided any emergency numbers nor the essential medicines to covid patients to prevent infection.
Communicable disease specialist Dr. Devendra Kumar has been sent from Lucknow to Aligarh to take some additional steps towards the prevention of covid infection. Dr. Devendra Kumar visited the homes of the corona-infected patients to inspect the arrangements done for corona prevention. A few days ago, after thoroughly inspecting the condition and arrangements in the house of six patients, he had submitted his report to the Director-General, Medical Health Services, Lucknow, and CMO.
He said that we inspected on various criteria including Presence of Isolation Poster – Posters found on 5 out of 6 houses and a poster of one house was torn down, Emergency number to patients – the emergency number was not provided to 3 out of 6 houses, Number of close contact and status of their health – different numbers in all houses, Medicine for prevention of infection (HCQS / ivermectin) – No medicine was given in any house for the prevention of infection.
