(c)       Diseases Common to the District

 

            (i)        Fevers. – Fevers are the main cause of deaths.  They include ordinary fevers, typhoid, influenza and other seasonal fevers, including malaria.  These fevers are the result of infections, unhealthy living and imbalanced diet, leading to low resistance.  These fevers have become almost chronic and it is extremely difficult to eradicate them totally.  In the past, these fevers were cured with various medicines, including quinine.  But, at present, the sulpha drugs and antibiotics are becoming popular, as they are found to be very effective.

 

            Owing to effective measures employed to prevent fever, there are now less deaths as compared to past.  As compared to 3,880 deaths due to fever in1977, there were only 29 deaths in 1984 in the district.  However, 1,311 deaths took place in 1989 in the district.

 

            (ii)       Respiratory Diseases. – Respiratory diseases, which are next in importance only to fevers, are also responsible for deaths in the district.  These are caused by different types of smokes, fumes, vapours of chemical gases released by the burning of charcoal, coke, etc.  These gases pollute the surrounding atmosphere all the time, thus affecting the health of the people.  Smoke irritates the eyes, the throat and the lungs constantly.  The insanitary conditions in the slums also cause the outbreak of these diseases.

 

            In order to check the spread of such diseases, the Factories Act, 1948, lays down that there should be proper disposal of gases entering the atmosphere and any harmful effluent should be removed to far-off places, so that they do not adversely affect the health of the people.

 

            The diseases are also on the decrease owing to better and modern medical treatment available in the district.  As compared to 907 death cases due to respiratory diseases in the district in 1977, there were only 515 cases in 1985 and 614 in 1989.  This comparison clearly illustrates that modern system of medicine has been able to control these diseased to large extent.

 

            (iii)      Malaria. – This epidemic develops during the years of excessive wet monsoon when a large number of stagnant pools are formed.  Malaria is caused by a blood parasite called ‘Plasmedium’ which is present in a malaria patient’s blood.  It was a dreadful disease for years together and took heavy toll of lives in the district.  Quinine was distributed in the rural areas through many agencies.  It, no doubt, lowered the incidence, but it could not eradicate the disease totally. It was only after the Independence that steps were taken in control and completely eradicate malaria.

 

            In the year 1980, Anti Larval Scheme was incorporated in the Malaria programme at Bathinda town to minimize the disease by attacking the larvae of the mosquito.  The town was divided into two sectors and each sector was subdivided into 8 wards.  The scheme is under the control of the District Epidomiologist and is manned by two Senior Malaria Inspectors, 16 Field Supervisors and 48 Field Workers.

 

            For malaria purposes, Civil Surgeon, Bathinda is head of the district.  At district headquarters, he is assisted by District Health Officer, District Epidomiologist and Assistant Malaria Officer.  There is also a Malaria Laboratory at district headquarters for examination of fever patient’s slides, examination of back-log of slides from primary health centers, preparation of stains used in examination of slides and distribution of the same to all primary health centers.  The Senior Laboratory Technician checks the laboratory work at the primary health centers and guides the laboratory staff in the maintenance of records and confirmation of doubtful slides.

 

Malaria Clinics.- There are 19 malaria clinics in the district.  The blood slide of every fever case is prepared and is examined immediately.  If found positive for the presence of malaria parasite, then radical treatment is given immediately on the same day.  Data regarding surveillance and spray for the years 1979 to 1989 is given below.

            (iv)      Communicable Diseases. – Cholera, plague and small-pox are regarded as the main communicable diseases.  Due to improvement of medical system, all these diseases have been completely eradicated in the district. Not a single case of cholera, small-pox and plague has been reported in the district since 1977.

 

            Tuberculosis. – Tuberculosis is a very serious disease and government have been making all-out efforts to control it.  The B.C.G. is an effective vaccination against tuberculosis.

 

            The District T.B. Officer supervises the whole set-up to eradicate tuberculosis from the district.  There are 9 X-Ray Centres, 30 Microscopic Centres and 162 Referal Centres in Bathinda District which give treatment to T.B.  patients and distribute anti T.B. drugs free of cost.  All cases having cough/fever for more than 15 days are examined in these centres.  During 1989, there were 1,799 T.B. patients under treatment in the district.

 

            The District T.B. Association, Bathinda also plays an important role in preventing the spread of tuberculosis in the district.  Mass meeting are held to apprise the people of the ill effects of this disease.  Masses are also advised to take necessary precautions to prevent this dangerous disease.  The Association also makes arrangements for supply of medicine to T.B. patients.

 

(d)              Medical and Public Health Services

 

Previously, medical services were divided into two wings, viz. medical and health.  The Civil Surgeon was responsible for the functioning of hospitals and dispensaries, medical and surgical work in the district, besides being government medico-legal expert.  The District Medical and Health Officer was in charge of the health wing and was responsible for sanitation, prevention of diseases and health promotion services in the district.  He was also to advise the municipalities on public health matters.  Both the wings worked under the administrative control of the Director of Health Services, Punjab, Chandigarh.

 

In April 1964, the two wings of the health and medical services were merged and the Chief Medical Officer was made in charge of both these wings.  The post of Chief Medical Officer was redesignated as Civil Surgeon in June 1974.  The Medical Officer and the staff employed by the Zila Parishad, Bathinda also work under his control, but they draw their salaries from the Zila Parishad.

 

On the health side, Malaria Officer, Vaccinators and Medical Officers (in charge of dispensaries) also assist the Civil Surgeon.  Similar functions are performed by the zila parishad dispensaries.  The municipalities also assist the Civil Surgeon in the public health field.  In order to check the adulteration of foodstuffs, the Civil Surgeon has delegated powers to the Medical Officer of hospitals/dispensaries for taking sampled of the foodstuffs.

(c)   Prevention of Adulteration of Foodstuffs

 

            The Punjab Government passed the Prevention of the Food Adulteration Act in 1954 for checking the adulteration of foodstuffs.  This Act replaced the Punjab Pure Food Act, 1929.  The concerns dealing in sale, stock and preparation of edible articles are subject to inspection by the Food Inspectors, Medical Officers and Civil Surgeon.  In order to ensure preparation and sale of pure foodstuffs, edibles and drinks, special powers have been entrusted to the inspecting staff to seize samples.  These samples are sent to the Food and Health Laboratory at Chandigarh for chemical examination and analysis.  Those found guilty of adulteration are prosecuted.

 

            In the Bathinda District, the number of samples seized during 1989 was 260.  The number of prosecutions launched in this behalf during the year was 16.

 

(e)    Sanitation

 

(i)        Public Health and Sanitation in Urban Areas.  Public Health services are rendered in two ways.  Firstly, it is incumbent on the District Health Officer to take preventive measures to check the occurrence and reoccurrence of epidemics and seasonal fevers.  Secondly, the functions performed by the Public Health Department, municipalities and zila parishad are directed to promote the well-being of the people, there by preventing the outbreak of diseases.

 

            Water-supply schemes have been introduced in many of the towns of Bathinda District.  The municipal committees have kept tractors-trollies and refuse carts to remove the rubbish.  Besides, they have engaged a number of sewage, etc.

 

(ii)       Rural Sanitation and Water Supply.  In the second decade of the present century, rural sanitation in the district was in deplorable condition.  Consequent upon the poor sanitation, epidemics appeared and spread.  These epidemics were considered to be either the wrath or the acts of God. Occurrence of small-pox was considered as appearance of Goddess Sitla.  The occurrence of such diseases was kept secret.  It was in the beginning of the third decade of the present century that the Health Department started making extensive propaganda and publicity through the audio-visual aids regarding rural sanitation, disposal of refuse and sewage in the manure pits and dumping debris-grounds.  The people were vigorously  persuaded for vaccination against small-pox.  These efforts did not achieve desirable ends.  The opening of maternity centres in the rural areas helped in reducing infantile mortality.  The preventive measures taken by the Health Department considerably decreased the occurrence of infectious diseases like plague, cholera and small-pox.

 

            After Independence, considerable progress has been made in the improvement of rural sanitation.  The people have become conscious of personal hygiene.  In most of the villages of the district, streets and lanes have been paved and drains constructed for the disposal of rain and sullage water.  The houses, which are now constructed, are well ventilated and sunny.

 

            The panchayats look after the sanitation of the villages.  The zila parishad gives 50 per cent grant-in-aid to those panchayats who engage regular scavenging staff for cleanliness in the villages.  The panchayats disinfect the drinking water wells, whenever necessary.

 

1.     Water Supply

 

            With a view to improving the environmental sanitation, the Government of Indian launched a National Water Supply and Sanitation Programme in 1954.  This programme caters to the needs of the rural as well as urban areas.  In the case of rural water supply schemes, entire cost of these is met by the government and the beneficiaries have to provide land free of cost required for the requisite scheme.  In Bathinda District, there are 517 villages having a population of 8.40 lakhs where the underground water contains a high concentration of flourides and other salts.  This spoils the teeth of people in young age.  In many cases, there is a complaint of stiffness of the back and difficulty in performing natural movements.  Out of 517 villages, 501 villages in the district have been given the benefit of safe drinking water upto 31 March 1990.  Now, there are 12 problem villages (2 have been vacated for the establishment of cantonment and 2 have been covered by the municipal limits) and these will be provided potable water supply facilities by 31 March 1991.
