Syndromic approach to be followed for Covid patients, says Dr Sudhakar


From Our Special Correspondent

Bengaluru, Apr 29: In view of the increasing number of false-negative reports being witnessed in both RT-PCR & RAT testing methods, the state government has decided to follow a syndromic approach and issue patient numbers for hospitalisation and treatment of such cases based on the authorization of doctors, Dr K Sudhakr, health and family welfare minister, has said on Thursday.

After the recent surge of cases in the second wave, several instances have been reported where the laboratory test for Covid-19 is found negative even while the patient has Covid-19 symptoms or CT scan has detected infection.

The minister has made the announcement on social media too through his Twitter handle.

Since the rules mandate that infected persons should have a patient number issued by district authorities or BBMP to get admission to hospital, several patients whose report is negative have been facing the issues to get admission in hospitals.

Taking note of the issue, the state government has now decided to follow the syndromic approach and give patient numbers to such cases based on the authorisation of doctors.

"This will help Covid-19 infected persons to get timely admission and treatment, especially those who seek treatment in government hospitals and private hospitals through SAST reference,’’ he added.

    The Yeddi led BJP govt is waste of time .. He and his son are involved in looting the public via mining contracts ..and the hospital networks which loot the public.We all know this is a fact..They should appoint Nodal officers with consisting of senior and respected citizens who are non corrupt to keep a watch on these Hospitals and other critical infrastructures that support human life. Maybe the central leadership should consider replacing Mr Yeddi with someone from the Coastal region ..or handover the operations to Sidhu from Congress who seem to be acting like a great tiger now ..give him 3 years and see how he performs..

    Aatmanirbhar Bharat is now importing medical supplies on an emergent basis even from China; what an irony! Madras HC asks the Centre what we're they doing for 14 months for such a scarcity of medical supplies to occur?

    Dont listen to these politicians they are not for you ! they are working for political party called BJPeee not for the people !! Even MODIJI also working for AMBANI and ADHANI due to CORONA he halt his foreign tour otherwise he would have spend 100000 crores for tour expenses to please the BUSINESMEN of India . In return he will offer LOCAL patanjanjali products which without any scientific verification only they qualified because of HINDU BABA RAM DEV endorsing it ! One BABA already flee and bought a ISLAND called KAILASAA and open a account of COUNTRY offering citizenship !!

    All because of these communist Gold Standard evil RT PCR tests huge number of cases, which caused fear and people rush to hospitals choking the medical infrastructure and added load on staff which then deprived genuine serious cases beds and required medical support and timely assistance and then death rate increased also these western communist media used this RT PCR stats to push for early development of vaccine and early start of inoculations. Looks like communist chinese and Globalist using virus and vaccine trying to control the whole world creating similar situation as spanish flu 1918 pandemic to bring free nations on their knees (Then in 1917, socialist controlled USSR, could be socialists only spread 1918 pandemic to gain in Ww1?). Again now in India why after the mass vaccinations cases are increasing ? (same thing happened in UK also) is The Question?
