Bihar Journal of Public AdministrationSummary: The menace of Acute Encephalitis Syndrome (AES) set its foot yet again in Bihar and Litchi (and the possible hypoglycaemia) has been blamed again for its outbreak in Bihar. For beating this menace, the role of the administration, health bureaucracy and political leadership should be held responsible for overlooking the possible solutions in advance. The menace could have been avoided and precious lives of younger ones could have been saved, if it was taken into consideration in advance by the health administration of Bihar. In view of the weakness on the part of health administration, the present paper seeks to explore the viability of cooperation of Japan International Cooperation Agency (JPCA) in beating the menace on the basis of JICA’s success track record in its working with West Bengal’s National Institute of Cholera and Enteric Diseases (NICED). In this process, the present study intends to examine the ways which may be used for tackling the menace of AES in Bihar. It seems that establishment of an Indo-Japan AES Research Institute and Hospital with Japanese support and technical assistance will be a welcome step. Finally, the paper recommends some suggestions, useful in policy making, in the areas of technical, administrative and financial aspects of the management of arresting AES outbreak. – Reproduced
