(a) Public Health and Medical Facilities in Early Times
The
growth of medical and public health services and facilities is a recent
phenomenon. Earlier, many people ascribed the incidence of diseases to evil
influences rather than considering them as physical disorders. Hence, the
emphasis was laid on propitiating the evil spirits than providing medical
assistance in whatever way it was available.
In
ancient times, yoga was also practiced by the people to develop a sound mind in
a sound body. Besides, daily bath, washing of hands before and after meals,
mouth wash, etc. were a routine to avoid infections.
The
indigenous system of medicine known as Ayurveda, has been prevalent in the
India from early times. It was fairly advanced in diagnostics. The factors
responsible for the popularity of this system were availability, cheapness and
efficiency of indigenous drugs and also the underdeveloped social and economic
conditions then prevailing.
Muslim
rulers introduced the Unani system of medicine. The Unani system became more
popular in urban areas due to patronage of Muslim rulers; but the rural areas
ayurvedic system continued to be practiced.
To
sum up, the filed of medicine in early times was shared by the Vaids of
Ayurveda, and Hakims of the Unani system and a good number of quacks and
faith-healers on whom a section of the society pinned its faith.
With
the spread of education and scientific treatment of human ills, coming within
the reach of the people, the methods of faith-cure and quackery are now
resorted to by fewer people. Homoeopathy is also becoming popular in urban
areas. The ayurvedic and Unani systems are still favoured by the people because
of the simple and familiar medicines prescribed. The Punjab Government has also
decided to popularize the indigenous systems of medicine and a separate
Directorate has been established for the Ayurvedic and Unani systems of
medicine. There were 28 Ayurvedic and 3 Unani dispensaries in the district as
on 1 April 1978. An Ayurvedic dispensary is under the charge of a Vaid, and a
Unani under a Hakim. The Vaids and Hakims are under the administrative control
of Director of Ayurveda, Punjab.
The
allopathic system of medicine was adopted by the rulers of erstwhile Jind,
Malerkotla, Nabha and Patiala State first for their own princely households
and, later organized as a system of medical relief for their subjects. A regular
Medical Department was organized by Maharaja Mohinder Singh of Patiala State in
1873 which was placed under Surgeon Major C. M. Calthrop. Similarly, allopathic system of medicine was also in
vogue in Jind State in the last quarter of the nineteenth century. Raja Raghbir
Singh considerably improved the Medical Department was organized by Maharaja
Mohinder Singh of Patiala State 1873 which was placed under Surgeon Major C.M.
Calthrop. Similarly, allopathic system of medicine was also is vogue in Jind
State in the last quarter of the nineteenth century. Raja Raghbir Singh
considerably improved the Medical Department in Jind State. In 1887, an officer
of the Indian Medical Service was appointed Medical Adviser to the Raja during
his minority and Medical Department was placed under his charge. In 1904, there
were two hospitals and 4 dispensaries at Sangrur. The Victoria Golden Jublee
Hospital at Sangrur was the chief charitable hospital in the Jind State. It had
24 beds for treatment of indoor patients. The medicines were dispensed free of
cost to all patients. The Medical Officer visited the hospitals almost every
day to see important cases and perform operations. The Military Hospital at
Sangrur, which was under the charge of two Hospital Assistants, had accommodation
for 40 indoor patients. A female Hospital at Sangrur was also opened. There was
a charitable dispensary in Sangrur town under the charge of a Hospital
Assistant. A jail dispensary for the ladies of the palace and their staff under
the charge of a Lady Assistant Surgeon, there also functioning in the town.
Besides, there were outlying dispensaries at Barnala and Sunam under the charge
of Assistant Surgeons, the dispensaries under the charge of Hospital Assistants
at Dhuri, Bhawanigarh, Moonak and Ladda.
In
Nabha Princely State, allopathic system of medicine was adopted in 1890, when
dispensaries were opened at each nizamat of the princely State. In 1880,
unani dispensaries were established at the capital and the headquarters of each
nizamat each having a hakim, an attar or compounder and a jarrah
or blood-letter. Medicine were given free. In 1904, there were 8 outlying
dispensaries at various places in the princely state including Dhanaula (now in
Barnala Tahsil) and Lohat Badi (now Malerkotla Tahsil).
In
1904, in Malerkotla Princely State, the Medical Department was under the
control of Home Minister. A Civil Hospital was functioning at Malerkotla under
the charge of Civil Assistant Surgeon who was also functioning at Panjgarain
(now in Ludhiana District). Besides, a military hospital was also functioning
in the State. A private dispensary (Dar-ul-Shaf) for the Nawab and his family
in the charge of the Hakim was also functioning at Malerkotla kotla. Several vaids,
jarrahs and hakims were also doing private practice in the towns and
villages of the Malerkotla Princely State.
After
the independence of country in 1947 and on the formation of PEPSU in 1948, a
few new dispensaries were also opened. The main feature of the second Five-Year
Plan was conversion of rural dispensaries into, or setting up of, Primary and
Child Welfare Centres and opening of Family Planning Centres. Maternity and
Child Welfare Centres were also set up. As on 4 October 1961 these were
functioning at Amargarh, Mehal Kalan, Sherpur, Tapa, Bhawanigarh, Longowal,
Kauhrian, Dhanaula, Moonak, Sunam, Dhuri, Bhadaur and Ahmedgarh. As on 1 April
1978, there were 9 Hospitals, 1 T. B. Hospital and Child Welfare Centres, and
12 Family Planning Clinics in the district.
According
to 1971 Census, Sangrur town had maximum medical facilities in the district.
There were 7.32 beds were 7.32 beds per 1000 population in the town. As on 1
April 1978, it had two hospitals with 112 beds, one T.B. Hospital with 100
beds, and one T.B. Clinic with 18 beds, 4 allopathic dispensary and 1 Ayurvedic
dispensary. Malerkotla and Barnala towns had one hospital each with 50 beds.
Dhuri had two hospitals, one for females with 10 beds, and the other 6 beds.
Sunam had a hospital with 10 beds.
The
registration of vital statistics is compulsory in the State. In rural areas,
the chowkidars maintain the Birth and Death Registers, and in urban areas such
records re maintained by the municipalities. These records are helpful in
determining the growth rate of population and finding out the percentage of
death due to certain diseases.
The
birth rte, death rate and infantile mortality rate per thousand per annum in
the district in the last ten years from 1969 to 1978, are given below:

diarrhoea, respiratory diseases, etc. the table art Appendix I and of page 371
gives the statistics regarding some of the important causes of mortality.
(c) Diseases
common to District
While
there are many diseases which occur in the district, yet there are some
diseases which occur more frequently and affect more persons as compared to
diseases which occur less frequently and affect fewer people. The diseases of
the former category are called the common diseases and are described below in
brief:
(i)
Fevers. – A large
number of deaths are caused due to fevers. These include an ordinary fever,
typhoid, influenza and other miscellaneous and seasonal fevers such as malaria.
These fevers are caused either due to unhygienic conditions or infection or
malnutrition, or imbalanced diet. The constant attacks of fever make a man less
resistant to various diseases.
(ii)
Respiratory diseases. –Next only to fevers, the respiratory diseases are responsible for deaths
in the district. These diseases are caused by different types of smokes, fumes,
vapours of chemicals, gases released by the burning charcoal, coke, etc. Smoky
and dingy rooms without smoke outlets, windows, and ventilators, cause
breathing troubles and respiratory diseases. Allergic diseases, for example,
bronchitis and asthma, etc. are also caused by environmental pollution. Since
the district is not adequately industrialized, the incidence of respiratory
diseases quite low.
(iii)
Malaria. – It is
caused by blood parasite called ‘Plasmodiom’ which is present in malaria patent
blood. Malaria had been undoubtedly the most important public health problem in
the Punjab. It is essentially a rural problem and general poverty and
backwardness of rural area are a hurdle which the people of affected areas
cannot be expected to surmount as they have no means to do so. It was a
dreadful disease for years together and took a heavy toll of lives in the
district. Malaria epidemics occur from year to year after excessive monsoon
rainfall. Quinine, the only remedy for malaria was distributed in rural areas
through various agencies. It no doubt lowered the incidence but could not
eradicate the diseases. It was only after the independence that steps were
taken to control and, ultimately, eradicate malaria. The steps taken to
eradicate this disease are detailed below:
(a)
National Malaria Control Programme. – To bring down the incidence of Malaria from the
State, National malaria Control Programme (N.M.C.P.) was started in 1953. A
sub-unit at Sangrur was raied under the N.M.C.P., Patiala, which continued till
the end of 1957. Under this Programme, two rounds of 50 per cent suspension of
D.D.T. at the rate of 100 mg. Sq per feet were given as intra domicialliary
application of residual insecticides to interrupt transmission.
(b)
National Malaria Eradication Programme (N.M.E.P.). – The achievements of the N.M.C.P. and
encouraged by the reduction in the incidence of the disease and also on the
advice of WHO (World Health Organization), the N.M.E.P. was started in 1958.
The objective of the programme was to eliminate the disease altogether by the
thorough the effective attack on the mosquito and human reservoir by application
of insecticides and administration of anti-malaria drugs. Accordingly, a
hyper-endemic unit under then. M.E.P., which was based on the endemicity of
malaria in the area covering part of Sangrur District, Bathinda, Patiala and
Hisar, started functioning at Sangrur District, Bathinda, Patiala and Hisar,
started functioning at Sangrur in 1959 as per international standards. However,
from 1962, it started functioning only for the Sangrur District. Two rounds of
insecticides were given during 1974 to 1960. In 1962, 727 villages were sprayed
with D.D.T. covering 2,35,064 houses.
(c)
The Maintenance Phase. – The National Malaria Eradication Programme unit entered the
consolidation phase in 1962 for detection of cases through all channels in an
intensified manner. All medical institutions dealing with the curative side
were co-ordinated with the programme. In 1964, it entered into the Maintenance
Phase under which surveillance operations were started and the task of
vigilance operation was handed over to the general health services. But after
1964,t he programme was again reverted to Attack Phase, as 82 positive cases
were detected in 1965 in Barnala Tahsil. During 1969 to 1972, two rounds of
D.D.T. sprays total cover of insecticidal spray was given partially with B.H.C.
and D.D.T. Two rounds of B.H.C. sprays in 1977 and three in 1978 were given in the 86,026 cases were
found positive. In 1978, 29 Passive Agencies were working the district to
collect blood films and given single-dose presumptive treatment to all fever
cases. Besides, 133 P.T.V. and 470 D.D.C. were also working in the district
with voluntary Organisations.
The
Malaria Unit at Sangrur, is manned by 1 Malaria Officer, 1 Assistant malaria
Officer, 1 District Entomologist, 10 Senior Medical Inspectors, 46
Sanitary/Surveillance Inspectors, 10 Sanitary Supervisors, besides other Class
III technical/ministerial and Class IV miscellaneous staff.
(iv)
Communicable Diseases. – These are plague, cholera, smallpox, etc. Details of each of these with
specific reference to the Sangrur District are given below:
Plague
Plague
was, at one time, one of the most dreaded of all the pestilences. Ever since
its spread in the Punjab in 1897, it continued to take heavy toll of lives in
the adjoining princely states in the second decade of the twentieth century; it
took a heavy toll of lives in the then areas of Patiala and Jind States.
However, no case of plague has been reported in the district during the last
forty years. Anti-plague measured however, are adopted every year. The D.D.T.
and B.H.C. spray disinfect the houses and kill the germs. Sanitary Inspectors
and Swasth Sahayaks are deputed to destroy rats by cynogassing the rat
holes, baiting with zinc phosphide and by laying rat traps. As a result of
these measures, Sangrur District is immune from this dreadful infectious
disease.
Cholera
Its
occurrence in the epidemic form is associated with mass gatherings. This
disease is imported from melas such as held on kumbh at Haridwar,
eclipse at Kurukshetra or other big fairs. It is caused by infected food, water
and drinks. Symptoms of cholera are profuse and painless diarrhoea and
vomitings.
No
case of cholera has been reported in the district since 1952. However, the
remedial measures such as chlorination of wells many a time in a year are still
resorted to by the authorities. Besides, inoculation against cholera,
distribution of sulfagaunadin tablets, other preventive measures, and givilance
of public health staff to check the outbreak of diarrhoea, dysentery, cholera,
etc regularly undertaken by the authorities.
Smallox
It
serious disease has been successively reduced by vaccination. The rate of
decline was further accelerate when National Smallpox Eradication Programme
(N.S.E.P.) was launched in the country in 1962-63. In the Sangrur District, it
was launched in may 1962. The programme of primary vaccination and
re-vaccination in rural are areas is regularly carried on by trained
vaccinators. As a result of the intensive vaccination drive, the disease is now
well with in control. Unsophisticated people are yet to be convinced of the
World Health Organisation’s claim that smallpox has been completely eradicated.
The Punjab Health Directorate claims that the State is free from smallpox and
the only case reported in the Sangrur District was in August 1974 in Sunam. The
government have fixed a prize of Rs 1,000 for anyone who could report even a
single case of smallpox to the authorities.
The
incidence of smallpox and the details of the preventive measures taken in the
district, during 1969 to 1978, are given in Appendix II at page 372.
Tuberculosis
India
has accepted “District Tuberculosis Control Programme” especially for the rural
areas. This programme envisages integration of specialized T.B. services at the
district headquarters with the general medical services at the periphery in the
rural areas.
Pulmonary
form of tuberculosis is fairly common in the district. There is a T.B. Hospital
at Hermitage near Sangrur which provides treatment to both indoor and outdoor
patients. It has 60 beds for males and 40 for females. Besides, there is an
18-bedded T.B. Clinic attached to Civil Hospital, Sangrur.
The
total number of outdoor and indoor patients treated in the clinic during 1978
was 9,365 and 1,689 respectively.
