Rain-related illnesses like dengue, malaria, chikungunya, and diarrhea often strike during the northeast monsoon. The Health Department has been conducting ongoing awareness initiatives in collaboration with local organizations. To treat patients affected by these diseases, a special ward with the necessary beds has been set up at all district headquarters hospitals and medical college hospitals. Seven of the 5,896 persons in the state who contracted dengue since January have passed away from the illness, according to Subramanian.
The medical camps, he continued, will take place every Sunday from October 29 to December 31 from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.
