The deep dive today with people who had dengue in past helped us understand how we can improve prevention and treatment strategies and foster collaboration between sectors. These insights will help us develop a more effective and sustainable approach to our fight against #dengue.
Intersectoral coordination and the power of community ownership in the fight against dengue are vital, highlighted @DrTanuJainMoHFW, Director @nvbdcpmohfw in our #dengue awareness forum today addressing more than 150 community people and experts across Delhi.
