Sir,
Refer news item ‘Spurt in Swine flu cases cause of concern’ DE Feb 19.
The presence of Swine flu cases in the State is a matter of concern, and it needs immediate attention of the medical authorities. Though the authorities are cognizant of the fact and have taken some remedial measures, it however should be ensured that patients are taken care of propely. An awareness campaign also needs to be launched in this regard among the people.
Special wards need to be created in hospitals for treating Swine flu cases, otherwise, there are chances that other patients may also contract it.
It may not be out of place to mention here that Swine flu has taken a huge toll (663) of human life across various States of the country.
Yours etc…..
