Child is God

 

 

 

 

 

 

            Dream: Measles Free Mumbai, Maharashtra & India 

 

 

 

     Measles is major child killer of India even today.See attached photo of a child admitted with measles.

 

Here are the problems & solutions :

 

When epidemic is not there children above  9 months are given this vaccine.

Currently measles epidimic is going on.

 

 Problem: WHO says that during epidemic all the children starting from the age of 6 months should be given measles vaccine.

 

Please tell this to all and get this done.(This is important as this is not happening.)

 

We can make India Measles free.

 

Please note following facts :

 

1. Many countries are measles free.

 

2. We too can become measles free by giving mealses vaccine to all the children on war footing,

 

3. Mealses vaccine can be given,when polio vaccine is given ( at least where facilities are available.}

 

4. Government gives measles vaccine free of cost since 20 years.

We the people have failed ourselves.Not even half the children below 5 years get it.

 

5. Political parties take all for voting.

 

 Similarly let us all  take 100 % of our children below 5 years to the  government clinic and give it.

Let us Treat all children as our children  and let us do this.

Children have no vote, no note, no voice.

Let us become their guardians and do this.

 

6. In private single dose vaccine is available. Make single as well as 5 dose (multi dose) vials available in government supply. So that every baby who come for vaccine gets it.

 

7. Make measles vaccine available all the times when the govt. vaccination centrre is open.Don't give it on weekly basis. Make it available round the clock if the centre is working round the clock.

 

8. Make vaccination centres"VACCINE MALLS." Make all possible vaccines available round the clock, or at least all the time when the centre is open.

 

9. Make Nation "Vacci" nation.

 

10 Make Hindusthan "Vaccinaisthan".

 

11. vaccination is most cost effective way of improving chjild health. Means it does maximum benifit in minimum cost.

 

12. We sent mission on moon Very good.

   We spend 5000 crore rupees every year on ISRO Indioan Space Research Organaization.

 

13. Request: Establish IVRO Indian Vaccine Reseach Organization. Give it 5000 crore rupees annually. We can make own vacines & give to all children free of cost.

 

Example: India became free in 1947. China became free in1949. Today China makes all vacine & we import it from China. For every dose We pay Rs.1700 for chicken pox vaccine, Rs. 1000 for every dose of HHepatitis A vaccine,and Rs. 4000 per dose of pneumonia (Pneumococcus ) vaccine.If we make them in India they will cost just one rupee.

 

14. For example now we will need iNjectable polio vaccine. Sabin, who invented polio injectable vaccaine, did not take its patent,so that poor may get it.Our vaccine companies can make it and we can give it to all children.It is easy to make.

 

15. On the other hand government had closed down   3 or 4 profit making vaccine making government companies like Haffkine of Mumbai.

 

16. Every day every minute 5 children die in India today. More that all the soldiers  killed in all wars India had.Given all (100%) vacines to all the children ( 100%) on war footing, will reduce these deaths significantly at minimum cost.

Please make a private member's bill to establish IVRO Indian Vaccine Reseach Organization.& to make India Measles free.

 

 

Let us act now. Every minute's delay means 5 more child deaths.
