EXPERT SPEAK
The rains in the city has already begun and it is therefore very important to take preventive measures against vector-borne diseases. There has been an increase in malaria cases in the past two weeks. It is highly recommended to keep the environment dry and free of mosquito breeding sites, we do not need another outbreak. It is better to do prevention than to fall prey to the disease and then get treatment. Therefore, all preventive measures must be taken from the beginning.
