Healthcare for Pneumonia in Odisha

• An Ominous Serial Killer called Pneumonia
• An Ounce of Prevention is better than a Pound of
  Cure.
• Year after year patients swarm into the clinics
  and hospitals of Odisha with symptoms of cough,
  sputum, and fevers and chills. The waiting rooms
  of the hospitals resound with rather rhythmic
  sounds of cough, the clamor of which is
  distressing. This is a regular scenario in the
  hospitals of Odisha as pneumonia is a major
  villain here.
• In a report published by the National Health
  Profile, it has been found that the culprit of
  numerous deaths in Odisha was (is) Pneumonia.
  Pneumonia and acute respiratory infections have
  been one of the major reasons for emergency
  health threats.
• With a large population residing in thetribal and
  rural areas, one would have expected falciparum
  and vivax malaria or dengue to be the major
  killers. Surprisingly, this is not the case. Even
  though there is a large incidence of malaria and
  dengue in Odisha, it is pneumonia that is the
  major culprit.
