Hyaline membrane disease
A serious disorder affecting newborns, particularly premature infants. It is caused by deficiency of surfactant, resulting in the formation of a membrane in the alveoli lining. This membrane contains fibrin and cellular debris and interferes with respiration. Infants with this disorder develop breathing problems immediately or in a few hours after delivery. It may lead to respiratory failure.

A survey revealed more than 95% of vaccine preventable diseases (VPD) associated adult deaths have been reported in India. Pneumonia accounts for 39% (146/374) and meningitis for 24.3% (91/374) of invasive pneumococcal disease (IPD), causing 38,811 confirmed cases and 2,266 deaths in 2017. Insurance Information Bureau of India also stated that “certain infectious and parasitic diseases” was the top insurance claim category in 2016-17. In light of this, it’s clear: Controlling VPDs in adults through timely vaccination is crucial. What’s your take on adult vaccination in India? Should India be doing more to integrate it into routine healthcare and national health programs?
