Lack of hepatitis awareness makes detection hard: Docs
Ranchi: Despite availability of screening facilities, hepatitis diagnosis remains poor in rural parts of Jharkhand owing to the lack of awareness among rural population hindering countrywide hepatitis C elimination mission by 2030, health experts said on the eve of World Hepatitis Day, on Sunday. According to the data provided by the minister of state in the ministry of health and family welfare, Anupriya Patel at the Rajya Sabha in March this year, Jharkhand has reported 41 deaths due to hepatitis-B in the last five financial years. While, the highest deaths, 15 were reported in FY 2020-21, two deaths recorded in FY 2019-20 and FY 2023-24, seven in FY 2021-22, 11 in FY 2022-23 and four deaths have been reported in FY 2024-25 (till Dec 2024). Health experts believe the actual number could be higher, as many cases go unreported or undetected, particularly in remote areas. Dr Uma Sinha, former nodal officer of National Viral Hepatitis Control Program (NHVCP) in Jharkhand, who retired last month, said despite the availability of treatment centres across all the districts in the state, people in rural areas are often unaware of the symptoms and severity of the disease and they go undetected. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like No annual fees for life UnionBank Credit Card Apply Now Undo "NHVCP's aim is to combat hepatitis and achieve countrywide elimination of hepatitis C by 2030, but in Jharkhand due to low screening rate particularly in the rural areas there is an absence of clear picture about this communicable disease. But it is sure that the cases are not decreasing in Jharkhand as screening rate is very poor in rural pockets. Another possible reason could be that the zero dose usually provided to the newborn within 24 hours of birth, are not being given due to the absence of vaccines in rural health centres," Sinha added. Jharkhand has a total of 27 treatment centres in the state, Sinha said. In Ranchi's Rims, around 3,000 patients of hepatitis B and around 500 hepatitis C are currently undergoing treatment. Dr Rashmi Sinha, associate professor at the medicine department in RIMS said that the hospital has witnessed an increased number of hepatitis B patients in recent times. "Screening rate is satisfactory in urban health centres like Rims which has led to an improved detection rate," Sinha added.

Starvation crisis in Gaza: Hospitals struggle as babies die, medical staff collapse from hunger
Starvation is silently devastating Gaza as the humanitarian crisis deepens with every passing day. Hospitals struggle to care for patients and newborns amid crippling shortages of food, medical supplies, and vital nutrients. Nurses faint from hunger, doctors face impossible choices, and infants are given only water to survive. With a blockade choking aid deliveries and food prices soaring, Gaza's most vulnerable, especially children and mothers, are paying the highest price in what experts call a deliberate weaponization of starvation, the NYT reported. Hospitals on the brink: Staff fainting, formula running out In Gaza's few remaining hospitals, a grim scene unfolds: nurses fainting from hunger and dehydration, patients and staff going without meals, and doctors running out of life-saving formula and nutritional fluids. Newborns are sometimes given only water, a deadly stopgap. Critical shortages: IV fluids and malnourished infants At least three major hospitals lack the intravenous fluids necessary to treat malnourished children and adults. Doctors describe helplessly managing the decline of starving infants, unable to safely flood their weakened bodies with nutrients without risking fatal complications. Doctors speak out: 'Man-made starvation' as a weapon 'I have seen babies brought in starving and malnourished, unable to be saved,' Dr Ambereen Sleemi, an American surgeon volunteering in Gaza, was quoted by the NYT as saying. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Unsold 2021 Cars Now Almost Free - Prices May Surprise You Unsold Cars | Search Ads Learn More Undo British volunteer Dr Nick Maynard called it 'man-made starvation', a weapon of war that will claim countless more lives unless aid reaches Gaza immediately. Starvation deaths surge amid war Starvation deaths have surged in recent weeks, with 56 Palestinians dying of hunger just this month alone, nearly half of all such deaths since the war began 22 months ago, according to Gaza's health ministry. Medical staff collapsing amid shortages Medical staff, already stretched thin treating war wounds, now collapse in operating rooms and wards due to severe malnutrition and exhaustion. Hospitals face desperate shortages of antibiotics, painkillers, and special feeding drips. Blockade chokes aid, puts lives at risk The crisis is driven by a months-long blockade on aid imposed by Israel, which has severely restricted food and medical supplies entering Gaza. While some aid now trickles in, distribution is controlled by Israeli-backed contractors and limited to a few sites far from many Palestinians, forcing people to risk deadly military fire just to reach food. Infants and mothers starving: The deadly toll 'The immediate cause of death for many infants is simple: They do not get enough to eat, and neither do their mothers,' said Dr Hani al-Faleet, pediatric consultant at Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital. Starvation triggers other health crises Starvation also worsens other conditions. Malnourished mothers suffer miscarriages and premature births; babies born too weak to survive; and infections and immune collapse rise sharply. Astronomical food prices push families to the edge Food prices in Gaza have skyrocketed, a kilogram of flour costs up to $30, tomatoes and rice nearly as much, making even basic sustenance unaffordable for most. Israel defends blockade, critics call it a 'blockade on life' Israel defends its blockade and new aid system as necessary to prevent Hamas from diverting supplies. However, humanitarians and many doctors reject this claim, calling it a blockade on life. Staff burden 'immense' as malnutrition hits medical teams Dr Mohammad Abu Salmiya, director of Gaza's largest hospital, said the burden on medical staff is 'immense,' with some fainting in emergency wards due to lack of food. A mother's struggle: Baby salam's fight for life The story of baby Salam Barghouth, three months old and severely malnourished, epitomizes the crisis. Her mother, Hanin, is too weak to leave home, and formula costs $120 a container, out of reach for most. Salam was born during war and now fights for survival amid starvation. More children suffer in silence: Yazan's story Elsewhere in Gaza, children like two-year-old Yazan Abu al-Foul suffer in silence, denied inpatient care due to equipment shortages. His family cannot feed him adequately. Doctors' warning: Urgent action needed to prevent more deaths Doctors warn: without urgent international intervention, more children and adults will die, victims of a slow-moving famine in one of the world's most embattled regions.
