Dinesh Trivedi, a former Union minister of state for health, wanted to know about the core capacity of laboratories to diagnose Ebola, which is spreading in the country.
He also said awareness must be created about the disease to prevent panic among people.
Quoting reports, Trivedi said the protocol issued by the ministry for screening passengers have not been implemented fully. Only 2 out of 14 airports have isolation facilities and hospital staff have been found lacking in training.
