00:00Today, with the senior officials of the Ministry of Health, I reviewed the work of the Ministry
00:27of Health on how to fight against Dengue in the coming time.
00:34The special thing in this is that I instructed the officials that for the prevention of Dengue,
00:51we need to work with all the states to find a way to prevent it.
01:04And to contain this disease and to manage it, we need to worry about whether all our states
01:15are ready or not.
01:19At times, the department has given advisories.
01:23At times, the department has given training.
01:29And along with that, the work that we have to do, the protocols that we have to follow,
01:36there is a need to do a review on following those protocols.
01:42And the states need to follow those protocols.
01:48We are going to hold inter-sectoral meetings very soon.
01:55And inter-departmental meetings, such as urban development, education.
02:02How can we fight collectively against Dengue by bringing these departments together?
02:09And what are the things that can be done by those departments?
02:13We have discussed this in the meeting today.
02:17I would also like to say that tomorrow and the day after, I am going to talk to the high burden states.
02:27Because the needs of the high burden states have been fulfilled.
02:33And how are their results coming?
02:35We will discuss this as well.
02:38I would also like to say that mosquitos bite during the day.
02:46And that is why we are sending advisories to the states for schools as well.
02:51That the children who go to school should wear such clothes in school uniforms.
02:56In which most of our bodies are covered.
03:00So that we can avoid mosquito bites.
03:03Along with this, we have given clear instructions to the central hospitals.
03:07Such as All India Institute of Medical Sciences, Satyajan, Lady Harding.
03:12That they should arrange a separate ward for Dengue.
03:18And they should arrange for its management.
03:22And we have to worry about the availability of doctors around the clock.
03:28A central helpline will be started soon.
03:34Which will run 24x7.
03:36And I have also told the states to start a helpline in the next 4-5 days.
03:44So that if anyone is in need of help to know about Dengue.
03:50Then we can help them.
03:52So we are trying to check Dengue on time.
03:57And along with the health departments of the state.
04:01I believe that this fight will be fought with full determination and determination.
