Measures to combat infectious disease outbreaks to be intensified, says Veena

Preventive and control measures to combat infectious disease outbreaks will have to continue in an intensive manner, Health Minister Veena George has said.

Chairing a review meeting of district authorities on Monday, she said that district and State-level reviews will have to be carried out regularly and necessary measures taken.

Local Self-Government bodies will have to ensure that cleaning and sanitation activities are carried out without fail. Review meetings should be carried out at the local body-level every fortnight. The Minister directed that all districts should carry out death audits without fail and take necessary follow-up measures.
