Doda, October 01(KIP)- As part of the ongoing efforts to contain dengue and strengthen vector-control measures in the district, the Dengue Surveillance Team of the Health Department Doda conducted a comprehensive field inspection of identified hotspots.
The field team, led by Dy Medical Superintendent AH GMC Doda Dr. Irfan Tasaduq Kelam, revisited the identified hotspots to assess the prevailing situation and undertake a detailed inspection of areas having potential for mosquito breeding.
Special attention was given to stagnant water and other possible breeding sites, with the team checking for the presence of mosquito larvae and conditions conducive to mosquito proliferation.
During the visit, the team also surveyed the surrounding areas and identified locations requiring immediate preventive intervention. Emphasis was laid on the timely removal of stagnant water, elimination of potential breeding sources, proper sanitation and regular surveillance to minimize the risk of mosquito breeding and further transmission of dengue.
The inspection forms part of the Health Department’s continued strategy to strengthen field-level surveillance, ensure early identification and source reduction of mosquito breeding sites and maintain close monitoring of dengue-prone areas across the district.
