14-year-old Mukesh Baitha of Haripurwa Municipality-14 here was bitten by a stray dog ​​on February 1. After being bitten by a dog, he immediately rushed to Barathawa Nagar Hospital. However, the hospital sent him back as there was no vaccine.

Mukesh was then taken to a private clinic. He paid 650 at the clinic and got the vaccine. Mukesh, who had to get three doses of the vaccine three days apart, went to the city hospital for the second dose. However, the doctor returned that the medicine had not yet arrived. Again the second dose was applied from a private clinic. Baita was able to apply the last amount from the city hospital. 

He was found in the hospital premises on Friday and said that he had received a quantity of vaccine after arguing with the leader and the hospital doctor. He said that it was expensive to pay 650 for the vaccine that the hospital took for 200. 

'People in the village don't take the rabies vaccine because they think it's a hassle. They always say that they are not in the hospital. Not everyone has money to buy and wear outside. Dogs, foxes, monkeys, cats and other animals are biting here every day,' he said. 

Local Ramnaresh Rai has the experience that many people did not get vaccinated when the doctor sent them to monitor the biting animal for ten days. "Animals such as dogs and foxes work in the fields and bite while walking on the road," he says, "how to monitor such animals?" Udd says that poor locals have been killed because the state did not provide enough vaccines. 

45-year-old Jogani Devi, a resident of Godaita Municipality-5, Sisotia, was bitten by a fox in her field on February 3. After being bitten by a jackal which injured his right leg, his family immediately took him to the primary health center in Godaita. However, she did not get the vaccine at the health center. The doctor sent him back saying to monitor the biting animal for 10 days and if it dies come for injection. 

Then he reached a private clinic in Lalbandi municipality. Get the vaccine. The in-charge of the health center Nitesh Kumar Kushwaha informed that the medicine that came to the primary health center Balra ran out within 15 days. He said that the vaccine only comes in 40 vials. After the vaccine is over, most of the health institutions send patients elsewhere. 

There is always a shortage of rabies vaccine in the district. Due to the lack of rabies vaccine that comes according to the quota in the government health institutions, it is forced to buy it from private clinics at an expensive price. Rabies vaccine has been administered in Provincial Hospital Malangwa, City Hospital Lalbandi, Ishwarpur, Barhathwa Primary Health Center Hariwan, Balra in the district.

However, the health workers of the organization complain that the medicines that come to the center run out within a week to 15 days. Head of Provincial Hospital Malangwa, Dr. Nawalkishore Zha informed that despite the quota of 300 vials of vaccine, sometimes it is not enough for a month or even 15 days. 

Dr. Jha says that even if the demand form is filled and sent as soon as the medicine runs out, it takes time to bring it, sometimes there is a shortage of vaccine for 15-20 days. He said that in medical practice, after monitoring the bitten animal for 10 days, it is necessary to administer medicine only if it dies or dies, but when it is reported that the diseased animal has escaped, there is pressure to apply the vaccine. 

Nagendra Sah, head of Barhathwa Nagar Hospital, said that when the quota of vaccine is low, there is a shortage. He said that although there were many quotas earlier, after Madhesh came under the province, only 60 bales were received per month. He says that the received vaccine will expire within a week.

He informed that there is a schedule to receive medicine on the 20th of the month of February. He admitted that now those who come to the hospital to be vaccinated against rabies are sent elsewhere.
