p> Title: Need to check the spread of Hepatitis-B disease in Modasa town of Sabarkantha district, Gujarat.
SHRI MADHUSUDAN MISTRY (SABARKANTHA): Thank you very much for giving me this opportunity. I want to draw the attention of the Government that in Sabarkantha District of Gujarat, which is also my constituency, is suffering from a severe Hepatitis B epidemic. In the last fortnight, 19 people have died and there are many more who have been admitted in the hospital. There is only one hospital, which is run by the NGOs. The affected people have not been admitted in the Government hospital nor the Government has so far taken adequate measures, although it was reported in the newspapers.
