The outbreak of Hepatitis B in the Sabarkantha district of Gujarat appears to be worsening with 6 more people having lost their lives in Modasa.
And 26 fresh cases were reported on Friday. Total number of deaths in Sabarkantha has now gone up to 40.
More cases are being reported from the neighbouring areas. An FIR has been filed against doctors who have been accused of re-using infected needles and causing the outbreak.
With doctors on the defensive, and only one functional hospital to treat patients, the situation is getting worse. Now the authorities are also raiding medicine shops and action has been taken against at least 10 chemists.
But caught in the middle of a rapidly collapsing health care system are scores of patients
