Delhi government ek bada kadam uthane ja rahi hai. Sarkar leprosy (kushth rog) ko notifiable disease declare karne wali hai. Yeh decision Delhi Epidemic Diseases Act ke under aayega. Officials ne yeh jankari di hai.
Kya hai notifiable disease ka matlab?
Jab kisi disease ko notifiable declare kiya jata hai, toh iska matlab hai ki har diagnosed case ko government ko report karna mandatory ho jata hai. Hindustan Times ke mutabiq, is move ka main aim surveillance ko strong karna, early detection ensure karna aur treatment compliance improve karna hai.
Kyun uthaya ja raha hai yeh kadam?
Leprosy ek purani bimari hai jo abhi bhi kuch areas mein paayi jaati hai. Iska agar time par treatment na ho toh yeh physically disabling ho sakti hai. Delhi government chahti hai ki har case track ho aur patient ko sahi time par treatment mile. Isse disease ko control karne mein madad milegi.
Kya hoga asar?
Is decision ke baad, hospitals, clinics aur doctors ko har leprosy case ko government ke paas report karna hoga. Isse data collection better hogi aur government ko pata chalega ki kis area mein kitne cases hain. Officials ke mutabiq, isse treatment compliance bhi improve hogi kyunki patients ko follow-up ke liye track kiya ja sakega.
Hamaari Baat: Ek sahi direction mein kadam
Hamari nazar mein, Delhi government ka yeh decision ek sahi direction mein uthaya gaya kadam hai. Leprosy ko notifiable banane se jo log is bimari se affected hain, unhe better healthcare mil sakega. Lekin ek cheez ka dhyan rakhna hoga — stigma. Leprosy ke saath ek social stigma juda hai. Log is bimari ko chhupate hain. Isliye, reporting ke saath-saath awareness campaign bhi chalana hoga taki log bina dar ke apna diagnosis karwa sakein. Agar sirf reporting mandatory kar di aur stigma door nahi kiya, toh log apni bimari chhupate rahenge. Umeed hai ki Delhi government is pe bhi kaam karegi.
