Early identification a strong defense against community transmission of Ebola virus : Dr. Rajesh Gera
Chandigarh 27 May ( Ranjeet Singh Dhaliwal ) : With over 120 reported deaths linked to the Ebola virus outbreak globally, the threat of another infectious disease emergency cannot be ignored. Dr. Rajesh Gera director & HOD- internal medicine, Park Hospital, Panchkula India said that with its vast population density and heavy international travel movement must remain highly alert and prepared. He said ,”While our healthcare infrastructure has significantly improved after the COVID-19 pandemic, Ebola presents a different challenge due to its high fatality rate and rapid progression once symptoms appear. Thermal screening and strict surveillance at all international airports must be immediately strengthened, especially for passengers arriving from affected regions.”
Early identification remains the strongest defense against community transmission, pointed out Dr. Gera. “Fever, severe weakness, body pain, vomiting, diarrhea, unexplained bleeding, and sudden deterioration are among the early warning signs that both healthcare professionals and the public should recognize promptly.” India today is better equipped with isolation facilities, laboratory support, infection-control protocols, and trained healthcare personnel. However, preparedness should not remain limited to tertiary hospitals alone, explained Dr. Gera.He further said that awareness at the community level, rapid response systems, emergency quarantine mechanisms, and coordinated public health communication are equally essential. The need of the hour is vigilance without panic. Timely screening, early diagnosis, strict infection control, and public cooperation can significantly reduce the risk of spread, he informed. Continuous monitoring by health authorities and proactive preventive measures will be crucial in ensuring that India remains ready to face any emerging global health challenge, added Dr. Gera.
