In this Sept. 13, 2019 photo, Pushpa Devi sits by the bed of her son Aryan Singh, 7, being treated for encephalitis at a hospital in Community Health Center in Chauri Chaurah in the northern Indian state of Uttar Pradesh. Cases of encephalitis, or inflammation of the brain, in Uttar Pradesh, India's most populated state with millions of rural poor, have dropped sharply. Doctors and state government officials credit a new network of rural clinics and a massive immunization and cleanliness drive in seven districts with the highest caseloads of the disease that's often deadly. An independent physician says there's no way to independently verify the government's claims, but that a decline is visible. (AP Photo/Usman Ahmad)
