For decades, Gorakhpur in eastern Uttar Pradesh was synonymous with encephalitis a disease that claimed the lives of thousands of children and left families devastated. But today, Encephalitis cases and deaths have fallen sharply. We travelled to some of Gorakhpur’s worst-affected villages, spoke to families who lived through the crisis, visited BRD Medical College and spoke to doctors to understand the transformation. And an important question remains: has encephalitis really been defeated, or has the nature of the disease simply changed? This is the reality behind Gorakhpur’s encephalitis story. #Gorakhpur #Encephalitis #GroundReport #JapaneseEncephalitis #AES #UttarPradesh #GroundReporting #BRDMedicalCollege
