KARACHI: Two people died of dengue fever in Lahore and Hyderabad and another 152 patients tested positive for the deadly mosquito-borne disease in different hospitals of Karachi over the past 24 hours.
Failing to take timely preventive measures against the outbreak, the Punjab government on Saturday replaced EDO Health Dr. Fayyaz Ranjha with Dr. Umar Farooq. With no known treatment, dengue fever is spreading fast in Asia, according to the World Health Organization (WHO). The WHO has warned that 2.5 billion people are at risk from one of the world's fastest-emerging infections, which has "grown dramatically in recent decades." Officials at the WHO say Asia, home to 70% of the at-risk population, has seen a rise in dengue mainly because of higher temperatures due to climate change, rising populations and greater international travel.
We should start educating our community at personal level also to adopt all prevetive measures against this MOOZI marz.
