Is it true there's a Hepatitis outbreak in Tibet?...

Doctor: Tibet's Hepatitis B Infection Rates Soaring
June 04, 2014 ~ An ethnic Tibetan doctor working in Nepal says the rate of Hepatitis B infection is soaring in Tibet because of a lack of education and vaccinations.

Dr. Lhamo Sharpa, a Nepal based Tibetan doctor, says 61 percent of Tibetans living in Nepal are infected with the virus, which harms the liver and can cause serious long term health problems in some people. Dr. Lhamo, who directly works with researchers in Tibetan areas of China, told VOA that rural Tibetans are especially vulnerable because of a lack of access to proper vaccinations.

She added that a study she and her colleagues conducted shows that at least 64 percent of women in rural Tibetan areas give birth at home and are not told about vaccines available for their babies. “Those who give birth at home don’t go to hospitals unless they are sick,” said Dr. Lhamo. “They don’t go to hospital because they are not aware of the vaccines and that is a problem.”

Hepatitis B is usually transmitted from infected people through blood or body fluids. The lack of education is a contributor to its spread. Dr. Lhamo believes many monks get Hepatitis B through sharing razors or going to hair salons that do not sterilize their equipment.

Questions have also been raised in the media about the quality of Hepatitis B vaccines produced in China. Late last year, at least 8 babies died in China after receiving the Hepatitis B vaccine. The deaths sparked an investigation of the companies that produce the vaccine. In January, the three top firms, which produced nearly 80 percent of the vaccine in China last year, were forced to suspend production.

^ China has one specific aim in occupying Tibet - exploitation of Tibetans. Chinese government ignores the basic needs of Tibetan people. Public services for Tibetans are almost non existent. Under these circumstances, it is not impossible that there is a Hepatitis breakout in Tibet.

US Congressman Calls for New US Policy on Tibet
June 07, 2017 | WASHINGTON — Congressman Jim McGovern is calling for a new U.S. policy on Tibet, saying “the status quo isn’t working” and urging U.S. businesses to raise the issue of human rights in Tibet with Chinese business partners.

“It’s important that the U.S. have a policy toward Tibet because the status quo isn’t working,” McGovern, a Democrat from Massachusetts, told VOA Mandarin. “The Chinese government is just getting worse on a whole range of issues — jailing more and more Tibetans in Tibet and in the Tibetan region, so I think we need to re-assess. ... We need to start walking the walk.” China says the Himalayan region has been part of its realm for more than seven centuries and considers the Dalai Lama, the Tibetan spiritual leader, to be a dangerous separatist. Many Tibetans insist they were essentially independent for most of that time and have protested what they regard as China’s heavy-handed rule since Chinese army units crossed the Yangtze River into eastern Tibet in 1950.

Congressional visit

Last month, McGovern traveled to Nepal and the north Indian hill town of Dharamsala, where the Dalai Lama has been in exile from Tibet for almost 60 years. The eight-person House delegation led by Rep. Nancy Pelosi, a Democrat from California, wanted to make China aware that they would not stand down in their campaign for human rights in Tibet. The delegation, including a lone Republican, Wisconsin’s Jim Sensenbrenner, met with the Dalai Lama. “His Holiness is not a separatist … but he wants to go home and so do his people,” McGovern said. “China is one of the great powers of the world, they’re doing great things on climate change,” he said, adding he’s always puzzled that China “is paranoid over this monk, and paranoid over his message.”

Rep. Jim McGovern, D-Mass., speaks on Capitol Hill in Washington, May 7, 2014. McGovern is calling for a new U.S. policy on Tibet.​

McGovern is the sponsor of the Reciprocal Access to Tibet Act of 2017. He introduced the bipartisan bill in the House in April with Congressman Randy Hultgren, a Republican from Illinois. Marco Rubio, a Republican from Florida, and Tammy Baldwin, a Democrat from Wisconsin, introduced a companion bill in the Senate.

Travel in US

McGovern described his bill as saying “we will treat you like you treat us” in that it calls for restricting where Chinese can visit in the United States in the same way China restricts United States officials, journalists and other citizens in Tibetan areas of the People’s Republic of China. “If China wants its citizens and officials to travel freely in the U.S., Americans must be able to travel freely in China, including Tibet,” McGovern echoes on his website. He also wants the U.S. to “publicly call on the Chinese government to restart the direct dialog that used to exist between the Chinese government and the Tibetan people. That needs to be restarted.”
