The health department has not trained doctors in cities with potential hotspots. People in the province are being affected by dengue but the actual number is not being reported. Large numbers of dengue larvae were found in different cities but how come there are so few patients?
The group added that the humidity in the air, the rains are increasing the number of dengue larvae, which is a serious threat to the number of patients. Whereas, the Healthcare Commission has not done any work on training staff in private hospitals.
In this regard, Secretary Primary and Secondary Health Capt. (Retd) Muhammad Usman said that instructions should be issued for immediate implementation of the group’s recommendations. Doctors, nurses and GPs will be trained in hospitals. He directed PITB and other institutions to submit timely reports keeping in view the statistics of the last year.
A dengue dashboard will be set up. Obstacles to dengue prevention due to Corona epidemic will be removed soon.
