Re: Head count for AIDS death in West Bengal

[Guest guest]

Dear Forum,

I am a member from West Bengal and concerned about HIV/AIDS scenario of India

and West Bengal. Last sentinel surveillance data of antenatal mothers showed

0.9% HIV prevalence in them.

Its a good news that WBSACPS has initiated a project on estimating AIDS death

cases in West Bengal under leadership of Dr. Mihir Kumar Bhattacharya of NICED.

Recently, I attended one of Dr. Mihir Bhattacharya's lectures on water quality

monitoring held in Barasat along with many other medical officers of North 24

Parganas district.

I am sorry to say that quality of his speech and knowledge on the subject was

extremely poor. He seems to be not technically competent enough to handle a

project of this kind with his background of MBBS, PhD. Some senior clinician/s

need to be made in-charge of it for successful carrying out of this study.

Thanking you.

Regards,

Dr. A. Roy

Barasat
