With the incessant heavy rains in Telangana and elsewhere, apart from flooding that is leading to loss of life, property, and financial distress, people are exposed to a battery of seasonal diseases.
As rains have been hitting various parts of the State since the second week of July, containing seasonal diseases has been the priority of the State Health department.
Health Minister Harish Rao held multiple rounds of meetings from the beginning of this month to discuss the measures that need to be taken to avoid prevalence of mosquito-borne diseases such as dengue and malaria, and water-borne diseases such as typhoid and cholera.
