Woman dies in hospital after contracting rabies in India

[ZABASHO]

isnt there a simple cure for rabies.... 12 injections for 12 days or over few weeks I think but course needs to be started within a week since the dog bite?? looks a lot like the lady's carelessness.

Whilst this is a tragic, tragic event. The women, or her family, are at least in some way accountable- she didn't mention to anyone until she returned to UK that she had been bitten. If she had she could have gone to any hospital or clinic in India and gotten treatment for free. By the time she said anything/her symptoms were noticed it was too late.



Whilst I don't want to be lowered to this guy's level, I cannot let such nonsense go unchallenged.

It seems what you say is even more true for Pakistan and China:

World Health Organization ranking of health systems - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

that report was published in 2000 with source data from 1997

india is not looking good at all in all categories in the latest 'world health statistics 2012'

As usual, Pakistan is always dragged into a discussion that has nothing to do with the country.

A British woman who contracted rabies after a dog bite in India has died in a London hospital.

The unidentified woman, said to be in her 50s, died over the weekend, Sky News reported.

"We regret to announce that a patient being treated for rabies by the Hospital for Tropical Diseases and colleagues at University College Hospital died over the weekend. The patient's family have kindly requested for the media to respect their privacy during this very difficult time and we will not be releasing any further details, nor will the family be making any statements," a spokesman for the hospital said.

Understood to be of Indian descent, the woman is said to have traveled to India without a rabies vaccine, The Sun reported.

She is thought to have been turned away by doctors in the UK three times before finally being diagnosed with the illness.

Another unrelated case of rabies is also being investigated by British authorities.

Rabies was eradicated from the UK over a century ago. Possibly life-threatening, it is an acute virus disease of the nervous system. Symptoms include abnormal behavior plus increased salivation, then paralysis and death if it goes untreated. It is prevalent in south and southeast Asian countries and is transmitted by saliva, usually through the bite of an animal.

The British Health Protection Authority says only four people in the UK have contracted the disease since 2009, compared to the 55,000 who die from it globally each year.

I am waiting for the day Hafizz will post...... "And Indian Died due to Heart Attack in Hospital".

India really needs to taking care of dogs, monkeys wandering on streets.

its everywhere...including in US.

You are right... it's only our western neighbour having tremdeous record of perfect health care.

Talking of rabid behaviour, a very poor day's catch for hafizz even by his already very low standards.

He spends whole day finding news like those.He is doing his job perfectly.

SHE DID NOT GO TO A HOSPITAL IMMEDIATELY AFTER BEING BITTEN BY A DOG---HER FAULT

FOR THE NON-MEDICAL PEOPLE: RABIES VACCINATION IS NOT GIVEN WHEN TRAVELLING TO ANY PLACE OR SOMETHING....THE TERM RABIES VACCINE ITSELF IS A MISNOMER IN THAT IT IS NOT GIVEN TO IMMUNIZE EVERYONE....IT IS GIVEN ONLY AS A PRECAUTION AFTER YOU HAVE BEEN BITTEN BY A DOG..........
WHY DID THE HOSPITAL TURN HER AWAY ? RABIES SHOULD BE TREATED AS QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE-----HOSPITAL AT FAULT
