WHO Praises India's Response To Nipah Virus Case As Situation Remains Under Control | India Today

Описание: On this report, the focus is on India's management of the latest Nipah virus cases, which has earned praise from the World Health Organization (WHO). The WHO highlighted India's 'swift and coordinated response' including strong surveillance and containment measures. While two active cases were reported, over 160 contacts have tested negative, though 196 contacts of two nurses in Bengal are being monitored. The report details the high risks associated with the zoonotic pathogen, noting a fatality rate as high as 75% and the lack of a specific vaccine. The WHO has classified Nipah among its top 10 priority diseases due to its epidemic potential and serious complications like encephalitis. Despite global concerns leading to passenger screening in countries like Thailand and Nepal, the Union Health Ministry and WHO have stated that the situation is currently contained and no travel curbs are necessary. The programme also reflects on India's history with the virus, specifically the 2001 Bengal outbreak.
