The flood waters in the Yamuna river in Noida have now started coming down slowly. But, with this, the risk of diseases has started increasing. A large number of people from the affected areas are now reaching the district hospital and health camps. Patients of diseases like malaria, dengue, skin diseases and fever are constantly coming out.
The Health Department has deployed special medical teams in relief camps set up on the banks of Yamuna. These teams are investigating people and free medicines are also being distributed. Chief Medical Officer (CMO) Dr. Narendra Singh said that 12 health posts were already established during the flood. Now even after the water is descended, the department is working with full vigilance.
Outbreak of diseases increased after flood
The CMO said, “Our medical teams are constantly monitoring. If any serious condition arises, the health department is fully ready and is constantly trying to prevent diseases from spreading.”
Every year in the months of September and October, there is an increase in cases of malaria and dengue. This time too, the chances of breeding of mosquitoes have increased due to flood water. The CMO informed that since January, a total of 189 dengue cases have been registered, out of which there are only 14 active patients who are undergoing treatment.
Health department on alert mode
The Health Department has formed a total of 21 teams to prevent diseases. These include 16 ‘Operation Mosquito’ team, 4 block level team and a district level response team. So far, 188 notices have also been issued by the department, in which people have been alerted about cleanliness and prevention of mosquito -borne diseases.
The district administration has appealed that people should not allow water to accumulate, adopt anti -mosquito measures and immediately contact the nearest health center if you see symptoms of any kind of disease.
Significantly, even though the flood water is decreasing, now the biggest challenge is to stop the infection of diseases. The Health Department claims that all their teams are attentive and all possible steps are being taken to protect public health.
