Diarrhoea outbreak not so dire
This is for your kind information that some parts of the news about the outbreak of diarrhoea (published on 4-11-2003 in page 8 of The Daily Star) has attracted the notice of the undersigned. The supply of cholera saline to different hospitals of Gaibandha district is adequate. The undersigned is misquoted in the news as saying "This is too scanty to the need."
Fact is, we are getting regular supply of IV Saline and anti diarrhoea drugs from the DG (Health) and Divisional Director (Health), Rajshahi. We supply the same to the district and Upazilla hospitals regularly. There is no scarcity of IV saline and anti-diarrhoea drugs in this district at present. All concerned, including the media, should play a positive roll to create awareness among the people.
