The All India Institute of Medical Sciences along with the National Vector Borne Disease Control Programme (NVBDCP), organised a public lecture for the awareness of Dengue fever on the National Dengue Day. The awareness program happened a day after the High Court pointed at the Delhi Government for putting all the advertisements on wait for the National Dengue Day. The government waited for Tuesday to put out these advertisements for the general dengue awareness and precautions. "We have not seen much happening for the prevention of dengue fever this year, by the state government or the hospitals," said Doctor PK Sen, Director, NVBDCP. Meanwhile, the state government has asked every hospital to increase the number of beds for dengue and stack up IVs for the fluid requirements.
