Dengue Drive

The global incidence of dengue has surged significantly in recent years. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), around 390 million cases of dengue fever occur annually, with 96 million requiring medical treatment. In India, dengue cases doubled between 2014 and 2015, with Delhi recording over 1,800 cases, and the virus continued to spread rapidly across the country, including West Bengal, from 2016 to 2018.

Dengue is a mosquito-borne viral disease transmitted primarily by the female Aedes aegypti mosquito. Its widespread impact has become a major public health concern, affecting millions of lives.

To combat this threat, our Dengue Awareness Drive focuses on educating communities about preventive measures, early detection, and effective control strategies. By raising awareness, we aim to reduce the incidence of this potentially life-threatening disease and empower people with the knowledge to protect themselves and their families from its spread, contributing to healthier and safer communities.
