Uttarakhand health department gears up to check spreading of dengue

Hindustan Times  

A 58-year-old man working at a paper mill in Lalkua, Haldwani was diagnosed with dengue on Monday, bringing the total number of such cases in the state this year to four. The health department, however, said it was gearing up to check spreading of disease in the state, with it’s focus on creating awareness about the disease among the people. While Doon Medical College and Coronation Hospital in Dehradun are equipped with these testing labs, two hospitals in Nainital, and one each in Haridwar, Udham Singh Nagar and Srinagar also offer the facility. The health department has declared dengue a notifiable disease, which means that if any private or government hospital receives a patient afflicted with dengue, it is the hospital’s responsibility to notify the government immediately. The health department has also partnered with other departments to ensure that the effects of the disease can be minimised, Singh said.
