Kerala Govt has been honoured in the United States for its effort to contain the spread of the deadly Nipah virus in a timely manner.
A proposal to cooperate with Kerala in researches and to set up an international virology centre in Trivandrum was also discussed at the meeting.
Dr Gelo was part of the team that identified the virus causing AIDS.
The honour bagged by Pinarayi assumes an additional significance as this is the first time since its founding in 1996 that the Institute of Human Virology in Baltimore has honoured a people's representative.
Imagine if a BJP Leader or Chief Minister getting such an honour.
The Media would have been all over it.
Ahead of the meeting, Dr Gelo and other senior scientists of the institute held talks with Pinarayi. Dr Gallo offered all support and technological assistance for Kerala's initiative.
Sanghis are abusing and downvoting the American FB page of Institute of Human Virology - Baltimore that commended Kerala’s sterling work in containing #NipahVirus
More than 400+ nasty comments on that Page. I wonder why no Media Outlet is making this a big News? ;)
"Kerala has received international recognition for its effective prevention measures against Nipah virus outbreak. The Institute of Human Virology in Baltimore honoured Pinarayi Vijayan and KK Shylaja for the government’s efforts in curbing the outbreak."

"The reception accorded to the Chief Minister and the Health Minister is the biggest recognition that the state has ever received in the health sector. It’s for the first time the institute is honoring a people’s representative."

Sanghis, Pls Take Note.
