Guys,

Your comments are really appreciated.

I still can not imagine how can diarrhoea (which is preventable and curable), has been killing so many people in Jajarkot. When I read the news first time, I was really surprized and thought there must be some other causes of the death, thought diarrhoea was the one of the symptoms. Some daily papers mention cholera spreading in those areas now. But still I wonder if the people are educated on basic preventive health education. If they are, is there any suitable environment to adapt those safer practices to drink clean water and safe environment? We know it is not difficult to clean the water sources and surroundings. But, what keeps people being ignorant in behavior changes regarding hygiene and the health.

About health services and health workers, it is time to share the responsibilities with the people in the local area where we can train some high school students to teach the family to practice safe while maintaining their health and hygiene. Government should assign resource persons to educate people and also supply necessary medicines for the early treatment of such communicable diseases.
