Co-infection of HIV and Hep C a graver concern to health workers in Ukhrul

By R Lester Makang

UKHRUL, February 11: At a time when the rate of prevalence of Hep C infection cases remains alarmingly high in Ukhrul district, the emergence of growing cases of coinfection of Hep C with HIV has become a greater concern to health workers here.

In an interaction with this IFP correspondent at his office today, nodal officer, ART Centre, Ukhrul District Hospital Dr. Diamond Sharma said that cases of Hep C infection in the district are continuing to be alarming and so are HIV cases but the more worrying aspect is the growing rate at which patients are found infected with both diseases at the same time.

He continued that with the introduction of ART treatment, chance of prolonged survival of HIV patients is much improved today but despite this many such patients have died not due to HIV but because of coinfection with Hep C.

“Which is why we at the ART centre here have come to focus on coinfection of the two diseases which is responsible for the continued cases of death among the patients, ” he disclosed adding that while the accurate data is yet to be worked out, it is believed that the percentage of coinfection among patients might be somewhere in between 35 to 40 in the district.

Expressing apprehension, he maintained that injection drug use remains largely responsible for transmission of the disease in the district or elsewhere.

On being asked about the best way to prevent mass transmission of the viral illness, he advocated that adequate awareness be created among the general public because in the absence of vaccine for Hep C, it is the only available mechanism to protect people from the disease.

He further informed that in view of the alarming situation here, an Ukhrul based NGO DOULOS under the guise of the State Epitimology department and Imphal based CONE, conducted a five-day Hep C screening camp here in October last year where 41 persons tested positive out of a total of 88 screened.

“Even then it is still upto the individual to go treatment of the illness since the cost of treatment is very high and only very few can afford the charge. ”

Dr. Diamond then bemoaned the lack of any initiative from the government side toward containing the cureless viral disease, while also informing that CONE is currently pressing the government for introduction of reimbursement policy for all such patients irrespective of their categories.

State Ministers having nightmares about Union Home Minister`s visit to State, claims Chaoba

IMPHAL, February 11: Some of the State ministers haven`t slept properly since the schedule for the visits of Union Home Minister Rajnath Singh and Union Minister of State for Home,

IMPHAL, February 11: Some of the State ministers haven`t slept properly since the schedule for the visits of Union Home Minister Rajnath Singh and Union Minister of State for Home, Kiran Rijiju were fixed for February 13 and 14, said State BJP president Th Chaoba.

He was speaking during a BJP mass enrolment drive at the Sora village of Kakching Assembly Constituency in Thoubal today. Speaking as the chief guest, Chaoba said the Union Commerce and Industry Minister, Nirmala Sitharaman has inspected the various centrally funded development projects. Just after the inspection visit of the Union Commerce and Industry Minister, Union Home Minister Rajnath Singh and the Minister of State for Home, Kiran Rijiju both have fixed their schedules for visiting Manipur.

There are some reports that some Cabinet ministers of the State are spending sleepless nights as they are having nightmares about what would befall them if their corrupt past records come back to haunt them.

The visits of Union Ministers to the NE states, especially to Manipur, are not simple visits but a means of conducting a thorough inquiry on the developmental works of centrally sponsors schemes under the instruction of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, the State BJP chief said.

Assuring the people of Sora that no National Sport University would be allowed to be built in the 44-Yaithibi Loukon without any genuine reason and the consent of the local people, he said the Chief Minister or the MLA of Kakching couldn`™t establish a world class Sports University in a polluted area, as it can have an adverse affect on the energetic sportspersons of India.

The random actions of the Chief Minister can`t succeed because the adjacent areas are occupied by hundreds of brickfields which have polluted the area with smoke emitted from their chimneys. If the State government truly intends to establish the university at Yaithibi Loukon then its intention is to kill the budding players with the polluted air, he observed.

During the visit of Union Minister Nirmala Sitharaman, she asked the concerned minister to take consent from the public while developing any infrastructure in the area, Chaoba said, adding he will apprise Rajnath Singh and Kiran Rijiju during their visits about the controversy surrounding the Sports University, which construction is yet to start due to an ongoing land dispute

Chaoba said the enrolment forms of the BJP taken by the minority Muslims have crossed one lakh and the hills people have also taken more than one lakh forms, The total number of forms which have been issued by the State BJP have approximately reached three lakhs till date, he said, adding the total number of BJP Manipur members would cross four lakhs by the end of March 31 when the nationwide enrolment drive draws to a close.

The State BJP chief said the results of the Delhi general elections have made Congress irrelevant with the party failing to win even a single seat. Instead of regretting about its defeat in the hands of APP, the BJP is happy that the corrupt Congress party has been eradicated from the political scene in Delhi, he maintained.

Now, that the Congress has fizzled out in the National capital, how long the State Congress would be able to stand, he asked, adding the AAP and BJP have similar ideologies of eradicating corruption from the country. He was quick to put that the BJP was still a political force to reckon with in Delhi and hasn`™t lost its potency.

Assuring the people of Sora that if the BJP comes to power in the 2017 general elections in the State that their desire for proper irrigation in their paddy fields will be fulfilled, and potable drinking water will also be provided, he said the 13 years long Congress government led by Chief Minister Okram Ibobi has neglected the people of Sora. Making amends to the people of Sora by fulfilling their demands would be one of the main objectives of Manipur BJP, he promised.
