No Antibiotics for superbug

In India, we emerge as a medical tourism destination, this type of news is unfortunate and may be a sinister design of multinational companies to defame the Indian Medical Sector.  The issue also figured in the Rajya Sabha on Thursday where members suspected the hands of multinational pharmaceutical and hospital companies behind the claims.

The British Scientists linking a new superbug resistant to antibiotics to the country and he said it was responding to an alert issued by Britain.  One of the health research secretary told the government would soon draft a reply to this after a meeting of the National Centre for Disease Control (NCDC), a nodal agency under the health ministry.  

When you link it to something to our antibiotics policy and it is dangerous to get operated in India then you will get more infections, that is totally irrational.  Our health ministry will examine the issue in detail but it was unfortunate that this new bug, which is an environmental thing, has been attached to a particular country which is India in this case.  Also they said it was surprised then he adding that this superbug is present in nature.  Super bug is a random event and cannot be transmitted.
