During the rainy season in Pakistan, people only consider flooded roads and rivers. Another serious threat that's lurking nearby, though, is dengue fever. In many cities and rural areas, the mosquito breeding season, especially after rainfall, is a risk factor for dengue epidemics.
A dengue outbreak can turn into a health and financial crisis for families already facing challenges with limited access to health services. This is the reason why during monsoons, Saylani Welfare International Trust continues to extend medical services for the community by conducting free medical camps and giving basic medical help to the weak sections of the society.
Rise of Dengue Cases After a Heavy Rain, Why?
Dengue is spread through the bite of infected Aedes mosquitoes that lay their eggs in clean, stagnant water in un-covered containers, puddles, construction sites, rooftops and old tires. These breeding sites overwhelm in number during the rainy season, presenting a greater threat of outbreaks.
Dengue is one of the world's fastest growing mosquito borne diseases with billions of people living in regions vulnerable to the disease, according to the World Health Organization (WHO). Dengue is a disease that occurs in epidemics in Pakistan every year during and at the end of the monsoon season, therefore prevention and timely treatment are necessary.
Early signs are:
● High fever
● Severe headache
● Dizziness, headache at the back of the head.
● The pain in muscles and joints.
● Skin rash
● Nausea and vomiting
Dengue can be serious and life-threatening, especially for children, the elderly and those with immune system deficiencies if treatment is delayed.
Saylani Welfare Providing Free Medical Camps
Access to healthcare directly in underserved areas is one of the most effective ways to minimise the effects of seasonal diseases. The Saylani Welfare providing free medical camps benefit thousands of patients, enabling them to get consultations, medicines, health checks, and advice without having to worry about treatment costs.
This healthcare support during monsoon season is more crucial when doctors and healthcare volunteers do their part to educate people on how to prevent dengue, identify suspected cases early and offer immediate medical support whenever required.
These free medical camps are the first time many families have the chance to talk with a health care professional who has the expertise needed to assess their situation.
Healthcare support in the monsoon season
Treatment of infected patients is not the solution to dengue. Healthcare support during the monsoon season involves awareness campaigns, preventive measures, early detection and treatment, as well as access to affordable healthcare services.
Saylani Welfare's Health Programmes support the communities in the following ways:
● Providing free medical check-ups.
● Providing necessary medicines, if possible.
● Educating the families on elimination of mosquito breeding sites.
● Creating awareness regarding symptoms of dengue and when to go for medical treatment.
● Helping the poor patient with the inability to pay their bills.
The work involved in these assists in minimizing complications and motivates communities to act in a preventive manner before outbreaks start to spread.
