• Is India ready to handle mass screening, tests and treatment of Ebola
cases in the event of an outbreak? This question is being raised once
again by both medical experts and citizens following reports of a 26-
year-old man testing positive for the viral illness which has been
termed as the `most serious health crisis in modern times' by World
Health Organisation (WHO). Ebola has claimed nearly 5,200 lives,
most of them in West African countries and two deaths have been
reported from the US.
• On Tuesday , Union health minister JP Nadda chaired an inter-ministerial
meeting on the dreaded disease.

• Unlike swine flu, Ebola spreads by direct contact with an infected person's
blood, secretions and other bodily fluids. The only way to prevent its entry
into the country is to carefully screen all travellers from affected countries.
But health experts say monitoring of travellers from affected nations is not
being done carefully and adequate quarantine facilities have not been
created despite WHO's repeated warnings.
• “Passengers are simply being asked to submit a self-declaration on
symptoms such as fe ver, headache, vomiting and bleeding. There is no
mandatory screening or use of thermal scanners to detect increased body
temperature, which were bought by airport authorities during the swine flu
epidemic,“ said Priyanka Sharma, who travelled to India from Abu Dhabi
recently .

• Another major problem cited by experts is lack of quaran tine facility.
Airport Health Organisation (APHO), where international passengers are
screened for deadly diseases, has only a dozen quarantining units and lacks
in manpower.
• A health ministry official said APHO is dependent upon other hospitals for
specialists in intensive care, anaesthetists and nurses trained to deal with
emergency care as it does not have enough trained manpower. RML
Hospital, the institution designated for treatment of Ebola, received over
two dozen suspected cases between August and September. But, sources
said, not a single patient has been admitted in the past two months. All
suspected cases are now being examined at the quarantine-cum-isolation
facility at IGI airport.
• “Nurses are apprehensive about potential hazards. We are talking to them
regularly about preventive measures,“ said a senior official at RML. Brought to you by
