State not in the pink of health

Gujarat is promoted as themodel state but when it comes to health conditions, things are not that rosy;the state has the unenviable record of topping the chart on diseases like TB,cholera and oral cancer

Gujarat's model of development might be a thing of envy for many states, but the health index of the state shows that the government has lagged behind in social healthcare. Nationally, the state has recorded the highest number of cases in several other diseases even as swine flu seems to be the biggest health scare affecting Gujarat and a few other states right now. Gujarat recorded the highest number of HIV, drug-resistant cholera, swine flu and oral cancer patients in 2014.
