Intensive measures have been put in place in the district to prevent dengue fever. Apart from a cleaning campaign, a sensitisation drive has been launched across the district, said Collector N.Subbaiyan here on Wednesday.
Inaugurating the supply of Nilavembu Kashayam at the Government Raja Mirasudar Hospital here, Mr. Subbaiyan said the kashayam, which boosts immunity, is being supplied through all government hospitals, primary health centres and block and taluk level hospitals.
Surveillance has been mounted in all private and government hospitals to check for dengue fever cases. Diagnostic and treatment facilities were available at government hospitals. Those suffering from fever, fatigue and joint pain should immediately approach the nearest government hospital or primary health centre for treatment.
Steps have been taken to clear all mosquito breeding sources in Corporation, municipal, town panchayat and panchayats in the district. Special teams of field workers were working across the district to carry out house-to-house checks to weed out mosquito breeding sources and fogging operations, he said.
