Drug scam allegation is sheer lie; I am ready for any probe: UT Khader

Mangaluru, May 21: Rubbishing the fresh allegations levelled against him by the Bharatiya Janata Party as baseless, health and family welfare minister UT Khader has said that the alleged drug purchase scam is the creation of shameless liars, who do not have common sense.

utkHe was responding to the allegation made by a few BJP leaders in Bengaluru and Mangaluru that he was part of an alleged multi-billion drug purchase scam.

Mr Khader said that he was ready to face any kind of probe by any department or agency to prove that the new allegation is a sheer lie. He also warned of legal action against those who make false allegations and try to mislead people.

Allegations

On Friday NR Ramesh, a BJP leader and former BBMP corporator at a press meet in Bengaluru alleged that the state government was misusing National Health Mission (NHM) scheme by submitting fake bills, thereby causing huge losses to the Central government. He claimed that the racket involved Mr Khader and senior health officials of NHM and BBMP.

Ramesh said the Central government had allocated Rs 1,463.41 crore under the NHM to provide free treatment and medicines to patients in referral hospitals, maternity homes and specialty hospitals. However, not even 25 per cent of these funds have been utilized and fake bills have been submitted to cover nearly 75 per cent of the funds, he alleged.

Meanwhile, Dakshina Kannada BJP spokesperson K Jayaram Shetty alleged Mr Khader of involving in the alleged drug purchase scam and demanded his resignation from his position as a MLA and as a minister. According to him the scam amount is Rs 1,250 crore.

Impossible

In his clarification, Mr Khader said that the State cannot misuse funds release by the Centre under the NHM as the process is completely transparent. He said that the state health department would not interfere in the affairs of BBMP's health division.

According to Mr Khader a corruption to the tune of Rs 1,400 crore is impossible in drug purchase because in the current year only Rs 66 crore was earmarked for the same.

The minister said that neither he nor the chief minister can interfere in drug purchase process. It has to be approved by three separate committees and everything is going on in a transparent way.

University of Oxford researchers have claimed that a cheap and widely available drug called dexamethasone can help save the lives of patients who are seriously ill with coronavirus.

Scientists working on the Recovery Trial found the drug could help patients on ventilators and oxygen, but had no effect on those who did not need help breathing.

“Based on these results, one death would be prevented by treatment of around eight ventilated patients or around 25 patients requiring oxygen alone,” researchers said in a statement.

Matt Hancock, the health secretary, tweeted: “This global first exemplifies the power of science.”

“I’m absolutely delighted that today we can announce the first successful clinical trial for a treatment for Covid-19,” Mr Hancock said.

Recovery Trial experts said a randomised group of 2,104 patients was given 6mg of dexamethasone per day for 10 days, while another group of 4,321 were given normal treatment.

Dexamethasone reduced deaths by one-fifth in patients on oxygen feeds and by one-third in those who needed a ventilator to breathe, preliminary results showed.

Mr Hancock added: “This is a huge step forward and it’s because we’ve backed the science.”

Martin Landray, professor of medicine and epidemiology at the Nuffield Department of Population Health, University of Oxford, and one of the trial’s chief investigators, said in a statement: “These preliminary results from the Recovery Trial are very clear – dexamethasone reduces the risk of death among patients with severe respiratory complications.

“Covid-19 is a global disease – it is fantastic that the first treatment demonstrated to reduce mortality is one that is instantly available and affordable worldwide.”

Trials  of  drug  dexamethasone   in  Covid-19  cases   have  brought  success  in  saving  lives  ,  claim  Oxford  University  scientists  on  16 June  2020. 

              According  to  news  reports  on  16 June  , 2020  ,   Oxford  University  Scientists  have  conducted  trials  on  anti-inflammatory  steroid  Dexamethasone   in  Covid-19  cases.  Results  released  by  the   Oxford  University    on  16  June  2020  say  that  the   low-cost  and  easily  available  drug  saves  the  people  seriously  infected  by   Coronavirus  ,  cuts  the  death  risk  by  a  third  for  those  on  ventilators  and  by  a  fifth  for  those  on  oxygen.  The  commentary   on  the  drug   reads  like  this  :-

“  This  is  a  tremendous  news  today  from  the  recovery  trial  showing  that  dexamethasone   is  the  first  drug  to  reduce  mortality  from  Covid-19.  It  is  particularly  exciting  as  this  is  an  inexpensive  widely  available  medicine.  This  is  a  ground  breaking  development  in  our  fight  against  the  disease  and  the  speed  at  which  researchers  have  progressed  finding  an  effective  treatment  ,  is  truly  remarkable.  It  shows  importance  of  doing  high  quality  clinical  trials  and  basing  decisions  as  the  results  of  those  trials”. 

               Covid-19  has  taken  into  its  grip   the  entire  world  during  first  half  of  the  year  2020  ,  infecting   lacs  and  killing  also  lacs  of   its  patients.  In  the  absence  of  an  effective  drug  or  vaccine  ,  people  had  no  choice  other  than   to   look   up   to  the  heavens  or   scientists  to  come  with  some  cure.  And  the  drug  described  here  is  the  first  one  to  respond  to  the  prayer   of  the  global  community  ,  it  seems.     As  regards  a  vaccine  ,   only  few  are  claiming  that  it  can  come  by  the  end  of  the  present  year  2020.  Rather   ,  some  are  of  the  view  that  it  may  take  a  larger  part  of  the  year  2021  and   could   even  go    to  mid-2022.   Whatever  that  scenario  about  prospect  of  arrival  of  vaccine  to  treat  Covid-19  may  be   ,  the  news  that  was  broken   on  16  June  2020   by   the  Oxford  University   scientists   in  relation  to   drug  dexamethasone   would  have  sent  a  wave  of   strength  and  hope   among   people  world-wide.  And  this  Vedic  astrology  writer  was  spirited  for  another  reason  as   well   -  a  prediction  of   when  some  relief   by  way  of  drug  to  fight  Covid-19   may  appear  ,   having  come  accurate  in   the   claim  announced  by  Oxford  University   on  16 June  2020.  This  writer  had  ,   based   on  interpretation  and  application   of  Vedic  astrology  ,   contributed  in  early  April  ,  2020   an  opinion  piece     - “  Some  searchlight  on  way  out  of  Covid-19  presently  tormenting  mankind” -   to  a  number  of   newspapers.  It  was  also  contributed  on  11  April  ,  2020   using  the  ‘ comments’   column  of  article  -‘ Heard  Charles  took   Ayurveda  treatment-based  Ayush  drugs  for   Covid-19’  -   at   theprint.in/india/looking-at-evidence-based-ayush-medicines-to-treat-covid-19-minister-shripad-naik/393407/.   The  text  in  the  opinion  piece  related  to  the  claim  of  success  announced  by  Oxford  University  scientists  on  16 June  ,  2020  ,  reads  like  this  :- 

“  So  reading  in  between  the  lines  ,  it  can  be  said  that  some  effective  drug   or  remedy  can  arrive  by   mid   or  towards   the  last  week  of  June  2020   to   provide  some  relief  during  July  to  September  2020 ,  to  some  good  extent”.

The  point  this  writer  wants  to  share  with  readers  world-wide  is  that   yes  ,  a  drug   envisaged  in  the  aforesaid  prediction  has  appeared  on  the  horizon  in  the  claim  announcement  of  Oxord  University  scientists  on  16  June ,  2020.

Bengaluru, May 30: A city corporator in Bengaluru was sent into quarantine on Saturday after he tested positive for the coronavirus infection, officials said.

"Yes, I have tested positive," Padarayanapura municipal ward corporator Imran Pasha told some news channels.

The JDS corporator said he would quarantine himself as per the regulations.

The entire area where Pasha lives was cordoned off.

Health workers reached there in an ambulance and gave him a personal protection gear to wear and he was taken to a designated hospital.

Reacting to the development, Karnataka Revenue Minister R Ashoka claimed Pasha hardly paid heed to the COVID-19 regulations.

"He rushes to all those places wherever there are positive cases...," Ashoka told reporters.

Padarayanapura was declared as a containment zone earlier with a few cases coming to the fore.

It was in this area where some policemen and health workers were attacked when they went to quarantine a few primary and secondary contacts of a COVID-19 patient about a month ago.

Following the incident, about 125 people were arrested, and later quarantined after a few of them tested positive.

Riyadh, July 6: The government of Saudi Arabia has announced health protocols to prevent the spread of the new coronavirus in the 2020 Hajj season, banning gatherings and meetings between pilgrims.

Saudi Arabia decided in June to limit the number of domestic pilgrims attending the Hajj to around 1,000 to prevent the spread of the coronavirus, after barring pilgrims abroad from the rite for the first year in modern times.

Touching the Kaaba, the holiest site in Islam, will be banned during the Hajj this year, and a social distancing space of a meter and a half between each pilgrim during the rituals including mass prayers and while in the Kaaba circling area will be imposed, a statement by the Center for Disease Prevention and Control (CDC) elaborated.

Also, access to holy Hajj sites at Mina, Muzdalifah and Arafat will be limited to those with Hajj permits starting Sunday July 19 till Aug. 2 2020, and wearing masks all the time will be mandatory for both pilgrims and organisers.
