Health and family welfare minister Balbir Singh said timely recognition was critical as sepsis could rapidly progress to organ failure and septic shock.Sepsis occurs when the body’s response to an infection becomes dysregulated, potentially causing tissue damage, organ failure and death. Almost any infection can lead to sepsis, with infections affecting the lungs, urinary tract, skin and gastrointestinal tract among common sources.“When sepsis leads to serious circulatory problems and inadequate blood flow to vital organs, the patient may progress to septic shock,” Singh said.Patients with septic shock may require intensive care, intravenous fluids, antibiotics, medicines to maintain blood pressure, oxygen or mechanical ventilation and other organ-support measures. The cost of such treatment can rise rapidly, making financial coverage crucial for families.Under the MMSY, eligible families receive cashless health coverage of up to Rs 10 lakh annually. The government said the scheme is intended to ensure that financial constraints do not delay access to critical treatment.Doctors also flagged the particular vulnerability of newborns to sepsis. Dr Shashi Kant Dhir, professor and head of the department of paediatrics at Guru Gobind Singh Medical College, Faridkot, said even subtle changes in a newborn’s behaviour could indicate serious illness.Premature and low-birth-weight babies can deteriorate rapidly, he said. Poor feeding, unusual sleepiness, feeling cold and changes in breathing should prompt immediate medical assessment.Antibiotics are essential when bacterial infections are suspected or confirmed, but their inappropriate use can contribute to antimicrobial resistance. Doctors advise against self-medication, using leftover antibiotics or stopping prescribed treatment without medical advice.Join conversationView All Comments →Share your thoughts in the commentsInsightfulAgreeDisagreeSkepticalConcerningPromisingWorth ReadingBig DevelopmentPost CommentBe respectful · TOI community guidelinesWarning signs of sepsis in adults can include confusion, breathing difficulty, extreme pain or discomfort, fever or unusually low body temperature, clammy skin and a rapid heart rate.The health department said the treatment figures reinforce the need for both early recognition of sepsis and adequate financial protection when patients require intensive care.Get the latest India News and Live updates.

The video featured AI-generated visuals of the Uttar Pradesh CM and took aim at the state government over issues including unemployment and alleged paper leaks.The song used the line, “UP badnaam hua, Baba tere maare… (UP has become infamous because of Baba)”.Akhilesh has frequently referred to Adityanath as “Baba” while attacking the chief minister politically.“If the BJP uses AI to make songs targeting me, we will also respond to those songs with songs,” Akhilesh said.The SP chief also alleged that AI-generated videos were being created and circulated to defame opposition leaders. He cautioned the government against using artificial intelligence for such purposes and claimed that the SP would outpace the BJP in the use of the technology if such a battle continued.The Samajwadi Party media cell also warned the BJP against using AI to target the party.”Listen, BJP folks Stop playing this childish, deceptive game with AI; the socialists haven’t even started playing the real game yet, Look here, brother, this is social media—if you start it, we’ve got a full accounting of your 10 years, you’ll make one, and our creative workers and socialist supporters will pour cold water on everything you’ve done For now, take this first response; you won’t even be able to handle the next one”Join conversationView All Comments →Share your thoughts in the commentsInsightfulAgreeDisagreeSkepticalConcerningPromisingWorth ReadingBig DevelopmentPost CommentBe respectful · TOI community guidelinesReacting to the AI-generated video targeting Yogi Adityanath, Uttar Pradesh minister Dayashankar Singh accused the SP of trying to create an atmosphere of tension ahead of the 2027 elections.”The Samajwadi Party feels its defeat in 2027 is certain, so by doing things like this, they want to spoil the atmosphere, in view of the development that has taken place in Uttar Pradesh and the pace of development in the country under PM Modi’s leadership. The BJP won with a thumping majority in Haryana, Maharashtra, Delhi, Bihar, Bengal… Now elections are happening in Uttar Pradesh, PM Modi and Yogi ji are here; a tsunami is going to sweep here.

The second was that no fresh FIRs would be registered in connection with the matter.The third assurance was that the government would provide compensation to the families of students who died by suicide allegedly in connection with the NEET paper leak.”The Centre is committed to honouring the assurance given to CJP leaders to provide compensation to the families of students who died by suicide after the NEET exam cancellation; however, three months are needed to work out the modalities,” Mehta told the Supreme Court.”As of now, we are committed to fulfilling all three assurances,” he added.Following the apex court hearing, Cockroach Janata Party called off its September 5 protest against the Centre for failing to honour the promises made to persuade the group to withdraw the agitation.”I want to state that in view of the positive assurances of the Government of India and the judicial sanctity bestowed upon them today, and in view of the order being passed by this court, the CJP deems it appropriate to withdraw the call for the march on September 5 and looks forward to compliance with today’s order,” CJP co-convener Sourav Das said during a hearing in the Supreme Court.How CJP reactedAfter the hearing, Das said welcomed SC’s order but also questioned why were these ‘hardend criminals’ allowed to roam freely in the society in the first place.”Regarding the Delhi Police’s apprehension, based on facial recognition technology, that around 2,800 alleged hardened criminals were present at the protest site, we argued during negotiations with the government that if these 2,800 hardened criminals were indeed present, the first question was why they were roaming freely in society in the first place,” Das said while talking to reporters.Join conversationView All Comments →Share your thoughts in the commentsInsightfulAgreeDisagreeSkepticalConcerningPromisingWorth ReadingBig DevelopmentPost CommentBe respectful · TOI community guidelines”Secondly, if they committed any heinous crimes, such as rape, murder, or other grave offences, at the protest site, then they should be prosecuted, investigated, and imprisoned,” he added.During a hearing on August 18 on petitions related to the student protests, Supreme Court had indicated that it was inclined to quash the FIRs by exercising its special powers under Article 142 of the Constitution.The indication came after the court was informed of legal complications in withdrawing the FIRs. Once registered, the cases can be closed only through a closure report, which the concerned Magistrate has the discretion to reject.Earlier, Supreme Court had also constituted a committee to examine allegations of excessive use of force by security personnel against students during the July 20 march over the NEET paper leak.Get the latest India News and Live updates.
