Health Minister Dr. Azra Pechuho says that the Sindh government has further intensified the anti-dengue campaign across the province. Orders have been issued in all districts to improve spraying, fogging and drainage systems. All Deputy Commissioners and District Health Officers have been instructed not to allow water to accumulate in any area as this is the biggest cause of mosquito breeding.

Separate units have been set up in all government hospitals for dengue patients where free treatment and testing facilities are available. He appealed to the public not to allow water to accumulate in the courtyards, roofs and pots of their houses. Use mosquito repellent sprays and immediately contact the nearest hospital in case of fever. This disease is preventable, if we all show responsibility, it can be controlled soon.
The Sindh Health Minister assured that the Sindh government’s dengue monitoring teams are active in the affected districts on a daily basis and the situation is being continuously reviewed.
