Agra: In the crackdown in the dukun in Firozabad, which was hit by Dengue, health officials had registered the FIR against eight shamans and also sent a notification to 200 non-registered clinics.
The move came as soon as Minister of Chief Yogi Adityanath held a review meeting with the Ministry of Health and ordered actions against unregistered shamans and practitioners who are now blamed for the increase in death after high fever in Firozabad.
Internal investigations from the Ministry of Health have found that shamans must also be blamed for the high number of deaths in this district.
Additional Director of the Ministry of Health, A K Singh, told TII that during the investigation they found that in many cases, initial care for patient fever was provided by a dukun or clinic that was not registered in the Ministry of Health.
“Many patients suffering from fever are given steroids.
This provides temporary assistance to those who suffer from symptoms such as dengue fever, but instead their platelet levels are reduced.
Blood vomiting often occurs in such cases.
In a review meeting on Saturday, CM ordered actions against shamans After we began to take action against all practitioners like that, “Singh said.
On Saturday, a pine was registered against eight shamans under Section 419 (penalty for cheating on personation) from the Indian Criminal Code (IPC) and Part 15 of the Medical Council Act, said Firozabad (South) Police Station responsible for Anoop Kumar Tiwari.
Eighth runs a non-registered private clinic that has been sealed, said Tiwari.
The Ministry of Health has also forbidden the use of steroids found to cause critical illness among patients suffering from symptoms of dengue fever.
These include Dexamethasone, Prednisolone, Betametason and Methylprednisolone.
