What India Should Do To Fight Against Swine Flu?

swine flu preventionSwine flu in India appeared in May, two months after its first appearance in Mexico. According to the predictions of WHO, a significant number of people in India will be affected by this H1N1 influenza in the next two years.

Let us accept the fact that H1N1 virus is highly infectious and spreads easily through breathing and almost impossible to prevent the spread of the disease due to overcrowding and poor civic sense.

The best strategy to follow is considering the flu-like symptoms as seasonal flu unless swine flu is suspected and diagnosed.

The main focus should be on prevention of the disease and complications of deaths in those suffering with flu-like symptoms. Patients with flu-like symptoms should be identified and immediate treatment should be given.

Therefore, patients with flu-like symptoms such as fever, cough and sore throat need to be screened. It is a gigantic task, but government is increasing the health care centers to make the screening process easy.

Media should continue to educate and make everyone aware of swine flu. All the news channels should telecast updates of swine flu two to three times a day.
