Raipur 18 July 2024
Korba Block Medical Officer and PHC Shyang team on Wednesday submitted their investigation report to the Chief Medical and Health Officer regarding the deaths of Kumari Vimla from Gurma village and Kumari Mangla from Dumardih Balipur Korwa settlement. According to CMHO Korba Dr. S.N. Kesari the investigation report, along with visits to the affected patients, inspections of surrounding villages, and questioning of health workers and family members, concluded that both girls died due to fever and jaundice.
Fifteen-year-old Vimla Manjhwar was suffering from fever but did not inform the Mitanin or health workers. Unfortunately, she died en route to Medical College Hospital, GMC Korba, while being transported by ambulance in the evening. The post-mortem report by GMC Korba indicates that the cause of death was likely acute liver failure with severe jaundice.
Similarly, twelve-year-old Mangla Ram, a resident of Dumardih Balipur Korwa, reached Korba on July 13 around 6 PM due to fever. After seeking private treatment, she informed Mitanin Kaushalya, who conducted a malaria test the following day using RD kit. By the third day of her illness, she was reported unconscious. Mamta Kanwar, CHO, MT from Geetkunwari and RMA OP Dhritlahare, attended to her. Due to her critical condition, she was also sent to Medical College Hospital for treatment, where the post-mortem report indicated acute liver failure with severe jaundice as the cause of death.
According to the CMHO, continuous monitoring is being conducted in the affected areas, and health camps are being organized. The situation is currently under control. Dr. Kesari has instructed all Mitanins and health workers in the district to regularly visit their areas and, after providing first aid to patients suffering from fever, diarrhea, or jaundice, to inform the sector doctor, Block Medical Officer, and district office. Sufficient supplies of ORS and zinc medicines are available for malaria testing and treatment, as well as for diarrhea management.
