Thats's sad. I hope the Health Ministry is taking measures against this flu from becoming an epidemic.

I hope it will not spread much

we dont even have sufficient stock of medicine to cover the nations need and the latest report also said tamiflu isnt workign any more on swine flue patients.

I saw the news on TV later, family of the deceased is planning to sue 2 hospitals in Pune, viz. Jehangir and Ruby for the initial incorrect diagnosis. Both are very famous private hospitals in Pune. Family is adamant to teach them a lesson.

I remember few years back, Ruby Hospital was in news cuz it had given wrong prescription to a person. That prescription was of yesteryear's bollywood star Shammi Kapoor.

At that time, I guess Kapoor family was thinking to sue Ruby cuz Shammi's secret diseases were out in public. Apparently, hez a diabetic and suffers from other old age related problems.

It's very sad that the girl died. condolences to the family
