With the southwest monsoon arriving six days earlier than usual and covering the entire country, there is a heightened concern among healthcare providers regarding the expected surge in vector-borne diseases such as Dengue, Malaria, Chikungunya and Zika virus. The early arrival of monsoon rains and increased humidity create ideal conditions for mosquito breeding, leading to a spike in these diseases.
Dr Rajesh Kumar, Associate Director, Internal Medicine, Paras Health, Gurugram Paras Health, Gurugram, emphasizes the critical role of healthcare providers (HCPs) in raising awareness about these diseases and sharing preventive measures.
