Health and family welfare minister Ma Subramanian announced the launch of a special fever camp in Chinnavedampatti, Coimbatore. The purpose of these camps is to address high cases of fever, dengue, leptospirosis, and scrub typhus in these areas. Minister Ma Subramanian highlighted that the state government’s preventive measures have effectively controlled dengue over the past two years. However, the state’s efforts to combat and reduce dengue cases have proven successful in recent years, leading to fewer deaths and single-digit dengue cases. The government’s commitment to eradicating dengue remains steadfast, and the fever camps are an integral part of their ongoing efforts.
