Speaking about the initiative, Deva Jyotula, General Manager, Malls said, “The city has been reeling under the menace of this disease for the past several weeks with the virus claiming numerous lives until now. While the authorities are carrying out an awareness drive for everyone, we decided to associate with Fortis and impart information about preventive measures for this disease and ensure that our customers have basic knowledge on how to combat the deadly virus. We deemed it imperative to undertake this initiative considering the current situation in the city.”

Dr. Manjeet Singh, Consultant Physician, Fortis Mulund said, ‘’Prevention is better than cure and Dengue is preventable. To prevent the spread of dengue fever, you must first prevent the breeding of its vector, the Aedes mosquito. You can get rid of the Aedes mosquito by frequently checking and removing stagnant water in your premises. Also, maintain hygiene in the bathroom, kitchen drainage, etc. and make use of mosquito repellents at night. Apply creams to children to avoid mosquito bites and ensure fumigation of your vicinity regularly.”
