Plastic bags instead of surgical gloves. This is the situation in the West Bengal Health department which now stares at a suspected outbreak of avian flu in parts of Birbhum.Fifty Health department workers sent to the affected areas have been told to slip on plastic packets on their hands and fasten it with rubber bands since the department cannot provide sterile gloves.Hospitals in the affected areas do not have isolation wards or quarantine zones.Moreover only 12 gowns for 50 health workers, no protective masks, no goggles ,yet to setup a laboratory to test for avian flu.
How are the peoples residing in these areas gonna be protected ? Really pathetic.
