"With sudden change in the climatic condition, there is a rise in the number of vector-borne diseases in Mahbubnagar. So far, we have registered 170 confirmed cases of dengue and 15 cases of chikungunya in the district.
As part of precautionary measures we have already conducted a district healthcare coordination meeting with all the medical officers from different PHCs, CHCs and Urban health centres and given them clear guidelines and instructions to deal with the situation effectively," said Dr Rajani, DMHO Mahbubnagar.
