Availability of Vaccines Against Swine Flu
Availability
of Vaccines Against Swine Flu
The Government of India has recommended trivalent
inactivated influenza vaccine which is available in the country and can be
obtained as per the requirement. Based on epidemiological evidence, the advice
of World Health Organization (WHO), Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR)
and subject experts, the Government of India recommends vaccination of high
risk groups with seasonal influenza vaccine.
The recommendations for prioritized groups are as given below:-
1. Healthcare workers, pregnant women, persons with chronic illnesses such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, heart disease, liver disease, kidney disease, diabetes, cancer and those who are immune-compromised; children having chronic diseases like asthma, neuro-developmental conditions, heart diseases, kidney disorder, liver disorder, diabetes, blood disorders, metabolic disorders and immune-compromised.
2. Vaccine is desirable for elderly individuals (> 65 years of age) and children between 6 months to 8 years of age.
3. Keeping in mind that there may be enhanced Influenza A (H1N1) pdm 2009 virus activity, similar to that witnessed in the early part of this year, for the ensuing winter months from December, 2015- March, 2016, the currently available vaccine (Northern hemisphere trivalent vaccine for the winter of 2015-16) is recommended, as the Influenza A (H1N1) pdm 2009 sub type included in the vaccine remains the same since 2009. Further, this vaccine has the approval of Drug Controller General (I).
The Health Minister, Shri J P Nadda stated this in a written reply in the Rajya Sabha here today.

Effective
System for Controlling Swine Flu Menace
The Influenza A H1N1 virus that caused the Influenza
Pandemic during 2009-10 continues to circulate in the community causing
sporadic outbreaks in various parts of the country. In 2015, the impact of the
outbreak of Seasonal Influenza A H1N1 has been largely in Andhra Pradesh,
Chhattisgarh, Delhi, Gujarat, Haryana, Karnataka, Kerala, Madhya Pradesh,
Maharashtra, Punjab, Rajasthan, Telangana and Uttar Pradesh.
Delhi has reported 4288 cases of Influenza A H1N1 and 12 related deaths in the year 2015 till 22nd November, which is higher than the figures for year 2014. While declaring the Influenza Pandemic to be over in 2010, World Health Organization informed that the Pandemic Influenza virus would continue to circulate as Seasonal Influenza virus causing sporadic cases and outbreaks of various intensities.
Health is a state subject. However, for containment of the impact of this seasonal influenza, States have been provided guidelines on screening, risk categorization of patients, clinical case management and ventilator management. These guidelines have been also uploaded on the website of the Health Ministry. Advisories from the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare (MOHFW) at various levels regarding preparedness measures have been issued to States/UTs from time to time. The States are procuring drug Oseltamivir, N-95 masks and Personal Protective Equipment as per requirement. An emergency stock of Oseltamivir drug, N-95 masks and Personal Protective Equipment is also being maintained by the MOHFW to meet any sudden requirement. To guide and assist the State Governments, teams from MOHFW have been sent this year to Telangana, Rajasthan, Kerala, Jammu and Kashmir, Gujarat, Maharashtra and Madhya Pradesh. The MOHFW is in regular touch with affected State Governments/UTs to ascertain and resolve difficulties, if any.
The laboratory network of Integrated Disease Surveillance Programme and Indian Council of Medical Research across different parts of India is providing free testing facilities for Influenza A H1N1. To raise the awareness about Influenza among general public, IEC campaign is undertaken in national and local newspapers and through Radio and Television.
Training for Master Trainers in Ventilatory/ICU management is also provided to doctors from State Governments by the MoHFW.

Law for
Regulating Surrogacy
As per the Law Commission Report No. 228 of 2009, India
is a favorable destination for foreign couples looking for Surrogacy and
mentions ART industry is now Rs. 25,000 crore industry.
As per two independent studies conducted by reputed agencies forwarded to the Department of Health Research, around 2,000 foreign babies are born to Indian surrogates every year and the international surrogacy services are offered by nearly 3,000 such clinics operating across the country. However, health being a state subject, the Government of India has issued comprehensive technical guidelines to the state governments to regulate surrogacy in their respective states. Under these guidelines, the state governments have been asked to set up state accreditation authorities and appropriate authorities to regulate and ascertain the prevalence of surrogacy in their respective states.
The Department of Health Research has drafted a legislation to regulate Surrogacy, Assisted Reproductive Technology (Regulation) Bill, 2015, which is under inter-ministerial consultation. Presently, National Guidelines for Accreditation, Supervision and Regulation of ART Clinics in India, 2005 issued by Ministry of Health and Family Welfare to regulate Surrogacy are in-force. For preventing exploitation and misuse of technology, recently the Department of Health Research has issued instructions vide letter No. V. 25011/119/2015-HR dated 4th November, 2015 conveying the following:-
(a) Ministry of Commerce has issued notification banning the import of human embryos except for research purposes;
(b) Ministry of Home Affairs has issued directions to not grant visa/permission to foreign nationals (including OCI Cardholders) to visit India for commissioning Surrogacy.
In addition to the above, PC&PNDT Act 1994 and Medical Council of India’s guidelines also cover the unethical practices in Surrogacy.

As far as controlling Dengue is concerned, the Government of India
provides technical guidelines to the States for prevention and control of
dengue, including clinical management of dengue cases. Diagnosis for Dengue is provided through Sentinel Surveillance Hospitals
(SSHs) and Apex Referral laboratories in Delhi. Periodic reviews have been done
at the level of Hon’ble Minister of Health and Family Welfare, Secretary,
Health and Family Welfare and Director General of Health Services. Advisories
were issued including one from Hon’ble Minister of Health and Family Welfare to
all Chief Ministers for prevention and control of Dengue. Focused Information
Education Communication/Behavioral Change Communication (IEC/BCC) activities
were carried out at National and State level with media mix strategies focusing
on source reduction and personal protective measures. Central teams were
deputed to the states where dengue cases were on the rise to assist the States.
For malaria,
measures including early case detection and complete treatment for malaria,
strengthening of referral services, epidemic preparedness and rapid response
are taken for prevention and control.
Integrated
Vector Management viz. Indoor Residual Spraying in selected high risk areas,
Use of Insecticide treated bed nets and Long Lasting Insecticidal Nets (LLINs),
use of larvivorous fishes, anti larval measures in urban areas including
biolarvicides, minor environmental engineering are done for reducing mosquitoes
density.
Public Private Partnership, inter-sectoral convergence, Human Resource
Development through capacity building, Operational research including studies
on drug resistance of malaria and insecticide susceptibility are included as
supportive interventions.
The Health
Minister, Shri J P Nadda stated this in a written reply in the Rajya Sabha here
today.
