Fresh swine flu case in city, IDSP still sans consultant
TNN | Aug 23, 2012, 06.19AM IST

BHOPAL: Swine flu is back. However, five months since the first H1N1 case was detected in the city this year, the government is yet to appoint a consultant for integrated disease surveillance project (IDSP). IDSP is meant to detect early warning signals of impending medical outbreaks and health experts suggest that an ineffective response from IDSP in a timely manner could have tragic consequence.

Delay in swine flu detection again came to the fore on Wednesday after a twenty-eight-year-old woman has tested positive for the swine flu in Bhopal. It took some six days for confirmation after sample was sent by private LBS hospital on August 16. According to Regional Medicine and Research Laboratory (RMRL) sources, the sample was only received on Wednesday morning.
