Anupshahr: The region is experiencing an outbreak of viral fever. On Sunday evening, a first-grade student from Anivas succumbed to fever. The girl had been suffering from fever for the past 15 days, and her family was seeking treatment in Delhi. Meanwhile, government hospitals in the area are seeing an influx of patients seeking treatment for fever daily.
In the village, Rup Kumar’s five-year-old daughter Geeta was a first-grade student at the local primary school. Rup Kumar shared that Geeta developed a fever 15 days ago, and a blood test revealed typhoid. Initially, she received treatment from a private doctor in Anupshahr and seemed to recover. However, four days ago, she fell ill again. They first took her to Birouli village, then to Jahangirabad, and finally to Bulandshahr. From there, her condition worsened, and she was referred to Delhi. In Delhi, doctors diagnosed her with an infection in her abdomen that had spread to her brain, along with a fever. Despite receiving treatment, Geeta passed away on Sunday. Her father works as a technician at a private company in Delhi.
Rising Patient Numbers at Community Health Center
The number of patients at the Community Health Center has significantly increased, particularly those suffering from viral fever and other illnesses. Previously, the center saw around 250 to 300 patients, but that number has now risen to between 400 and 500. Dr. P.K. Mishra, the in-charge of the center, stated that there has been a noticeable rise in cases of viral fever and typhoid. He urged individuals to seek advice from government doctors rather than relying on unqualified practitioners when experiencing fever. Additionally, he advised against allowing stagnant water to accumulate around homes.
Rising Cases of Diarrhea Due to Weather Changes
In Bulandshahr, people are once again falling victim to diarrhea due to recent weather changes. On Monday, the outpatient department (OPD) at the district hospital was crowded with patients. A total of 374 patients presented with viral fever, abdominal pain, and vomiting, while 204 patients came in for allergies. Dr. Chandraprakash Singh, a physician, warned against negligence during these weather changes, as it increases the risk of infectious diseases. All patients visiting the OPD are being given appropriate advice.
Regarding the student who passed away from fever, an investigation is underway. If anyone in the village is suffering from fever, health camps will be set up for treatment and testing. Residents are advised to take precautions and seek care from registered doctors or government hospitals if they experience fever. – Dr. Vinay Kumar Singh, CMO.
