The Bhagwant Mann government launches a special health mission.

The Bhagwant Mann government launches a special health mission in 2303 flood-affected villages.

Dr Balbir Singh, the minister of health and family welfare, has directed the medical community to take significant action to stop the spread of infectious and waterborne illnesses in communities devastated by flooding.

“There is a ‘Special Health Campaign’ underway in the 2303 communities that have been impacted by the recent floods. Preventing vector-borne, water-borne, and communicable disease outbreaks is the main goal. There are three primary parts to the campaign. The first is the creation of medical and health camps. All 2303 communities will have daily medical camps. These camps will take place every day in 596 villages with existing medical services, including Aam Aadmi Clinics. For a minimum of three days, with the potential for an extension dependent on need, camps will be erected in public areas such as community centers and schools in the remaining 1707 communities.

ASHA employees make door-to-door visits as part of the second component. To deliver necessary health kits, a team of more than 11,103 ASHA employees will visit each home in these communities once a week. Mosquito repellent, ORS (oral rehydration solution), paracetamol, chlorine tablets, soap, and other essentials will be included in these kits.

A thorough fumigation and vector-control activity makes up the third element. For the next 21 days, this will be done daily in all impacted villages. To stop dengue and malaria epidemics, teams will perform larvicidal spraying, indoor and outdoor fogging, and breeding checks in homes, marketplaces, schools, and other public areas.

ASHA employees will knock on people’s doors.
Workers from ASHA are visiting homes to check on people’s health. Everybody’s health, from young children to the elderly, is assessed, and medication is administered as needed. The administration has determined that they must visit every home at least once by September 20. This campaign will continue uninterrupted on Sunday as well.

550 ambulances were sent out.
Additionally, a unique 21-day fogging and inspection campaign is being conducted to manage diseases, including dengue and malaria. Every day, fogging is carried out in each village, and water supplies are promptly examined. Every block now has a medical officer in charge, and each evening a comprehensive report is posted online. People are immediately receiving aid, health care, and cleanliness thanks to the village-to-village campaign, and they are now stating that, for the first time, a government is not only issuing directives but is also actively participating in the field. “It’s not just the government; it’s our trust… and we are wholeheartedly standing with the Aam Aadmi Party,” the public is publicly stating.
