The US government has on January 23 offered to check the availability of Tamiflu syrup for children from worldwide stocks, provide technical support for human surveillance, diagnosis, and preparedness and technical support for animal surveillance and culling.
"We have an experience that it (bird flu) moves very quickly so it needs to be tackled fast. No case has come across of human beings having contracted the disease. But it has to be nipped in the bud before it moves forward," US Ambassador to India David Mulford told reporters.
The offer is for technical devices and equipment and Tamiflu, he said noting that the United States was "very very concerned because of the problem".
"We made an offer a few days ago. We are in touch with labs," Mulford said adding that the help can be extended directly or through NGOs.

People there is no such thing as bird flu. It is all orchestrated to benefit the pharma industry. It is simple they atrificially create such superficial diseases ( which don't exist in the first place ) and then they develop medicines to it?. Thats foolishness. Thank You
Prudhvi - Please get your head examined and preferrably get institutionalized. It is quite reckless of you to be out in the open in your mental state. Moron !
No US help, we are communists, I am Buddhadev Bhattacharya speaking. We may take help from Cuba, Venezuela, North Korea and China. The virus we are fighting in Bengal actually stems out from our own communism virus, accidently. We will not allow imperialist America in our communist heaven. Bird flu in Bengal will be over in next few days, as there would be no birds left. Human-flu already started and we will cuell them soon, but still no US help. Thank you.
Sir: We should welcome any help from any quarter to curb the epidemic of Bird Flu. We are just not capable of handling any crisis leave aside a major crisis of this magnitude. If this is epidemic is not curbedand if it spreads among human beings only GOD CAN HELP US. But unfortunately, the commies do not believe in GOD!!!!The communist government of WEST BENGAL comprises incompetent ministers who care two hoots for the chickens as well as people.
