DID YOU Know.......?

 The World Health Statistics 2010, released by WHO (World Health Organisation) has placed India in an unbelievable position. India has the highest number of Tuberculosis (23% of the world’s patients), Leprosy (54% of the world’s patients), Pertussis (29% of the world’s patients), Polio (42% of the world’s patients), Tetanus (22% of the world’s patients) and Malaria (55% of the world’s patients). It is the second highest in measles, the fourth highest in Japanese encephalitis and fourteenth highest in cholera. It has highest percentage of the world’s underweight children below the age of five years (43.5%). This is all far in excess of the percentage of world’s population, that India supports. To no other country goes the dubious distinction of being the first in so many areas.
