By Sehrish Wasif / Fawad Ali
Published: October 29, 2013
Allied hospitals receiving 20 to 25 fresh cases almost every day.
ISLAMABAD / RAWALPINDI:

It seems the preparedness to face the menace of dengue has slacked as the three government teaching hospitals in Rawalpindi are receiving 20 to 25 fresh cases almost every day.

Dhok Hassu and areas near IJP Road are the worst-hit localities.

According to the surveillance officer of the Punjab Health Department, 250 patients have been tested positive for dengue fever in Rawalpindi this year, with two deaths.

However, Holy Family Hospital (HFH) Medical Superintendent Arshad Sabir said that a total of 722 suspected cases have been reported at the hospital since September, 330 of which tested positive.

This clearly reflects the lack of coordination between the hospital administration and the health department...
