Focus on Healthcare of Indian Government

Healthcare has been one of the vital issues in India since its freedom and several steps had been taken since then to eradicate the issues at the root level. The government has played significant role to clear all hurdles and make India a disease free nation.  However, with the growing population and development of new disease every time it has become really difficult to fight with it to its core, but the efforts have never reduced. Let us take an example of KALA AZAR. This is a typical fever which has claimed the lives of millions till date.

Let us know get acquainted with the real virus of Kala azar, Visceral leishmaniasis (VL), also known as kala-azar is black fever, and Dumdum fever, which is the most severe form of leishmaniasis. Leishmaniasis is a disease caused by protozoan parasites of the Leishmania genus. It is the second-largest parasitic killer in the world (after malaria), responsible for an estimated 500,000 cases each year worldwide.  This is a parasite which migrates to the internal organs of human body such as liver, spleen, and bone marrow, and, if left untreated for certain period, it will almost always result in the death of the host. Signs and symptoms include fever, weight loss, mucosal ulcers, fatigue, anemia, and substantial swelling of the liver and spleen. Of particular concern, according to the World Health Organization (WHO), is the emerging problem of HIV/VL co-infection.

There are several bodies, both government and non government which consistently works to fight against this deadly disease. One of such organization which works in close coordination of the government is called WHO. The total eradication of this disease is one of the prime focus for World Health Organization, which is working hand in hand with the government. They provide different healthcare products for Kala Azar treatment. Not only this, there are several pharma companies too which has volunteered for their contribution on the topic. There are several pharmaceutical companies located in gurgaon region of Haryana who have developed different medications which completely treat and cures the deadly disease. Pharma Company in Gurgaon has done exponentially well in creating a remedy to treat this disease. The drug has already been supplied to different hospitals globally and has treated millions of patients worldwide.

It is important both on the part of the government as well as a corporate social responsibility of drug manufacturing companies to develop antidotes like that and create a permanent solution to such life threatening diseases like Kala Azar.
