In Sept 21,
2011 issue, DNA presents following depressing facts :
Ø
55
% of Indian children [ under 2 years ], do not receive basic comprehensive
immunization
Ø
2.7
million children [ under 5 years ], receive no treatment for diarrhoea
Ø
900,000
new-born die in India
annually [ 102 every hour ! ]
Ø
2.6
million is the number of health-workers India needs to meet WHO standards
Ø
1.04
% of GDP is what India
spends on health
How many
millions of lives can we save , if all the black money stashed abroad [ and
within the country ], including monies pocketed by the “ Corrupt “, thru 2G
scam / Air India scam / NRHM scam / PSU scam / illegal mining scam etc. were
available and spent on health-care of the poor ?
And do not
single out West Bengal. Situation is the same
everywhere !
With
regards
hemen parekh
