Opposition leader in Manipur assembly Dr I Ibohalbi said that although the fatalities of people living with HIV/AIDS and TB patients in the state have come down drastically, the rate of death from Hepatitis C has shot up considerably.
Ibohanbi while taking part in the discussion on the demand for medical Health and Family Welfare in the House said high quality drugs have greatly contributed in saving many people living with HIV and TB patients in the state and suggested the House to set up a separate cell to control deaths from Hepatitis C which has killed many people in the state.
MLA L Ibomcha on the other hand charged that now drugs manufactured by good companies have not been supplied in the Government hospitals in the state and suggested that enhancement of capabilities of these hospitals will naturally minimize the disturbances caused to the public.
