165 dead in the last two months - millions can gets affected in India - World Health Organization issues warning on deadly trend
Indians least protected from the virus that originated in the west and were carried to India by the foreign tourists. Now it is turning deadly for the indigenous population.
World Health Organization (WHO) is issuing a warning on the deadly trend in India.
165 are already dead and millions getting badly affected is not a good sign.
According to WHO, in the tropical regions of Asia, respiratory disease activity remains geographically regional or widespread but the trend is generally increasing as noted in India, Bangladesh, and Cambodia.
The WHO has already termed as highest the number of fatalities due to swine flu in India as compared to other countries, according to the health ministry sources here. Contrary to India, the agency said, in the temperate region of the southern hemisphere (represented by countries such as Chile, Argentina, Australia, New Zealand, and South Africa), influenza activity continues to decrease or return to baseline.
Noting that an average of two private health care facilities were visited by the patients in India prior to coming to the designated government hospital, the WHO said 44 per cent of the fatal cases had a known underlying condition such as diabetes, lung or heart disease or AIDS.
