200 medical camps to prevent outbreak in Chennai
Advertisement
The continuous outpour in Chennai has led to the rise of fear of an outbreak in the city-primarily due to water contaminated diseases. In this scenario, the state government is now reported to be running health camps all over the city. Some 200 camp sites have been set up across Chennai as well as in Tiruvallur and Kancheepuram — two other flood-hit districts in northern Tamil Nadu.
Chennai is under a serious health threat as the sewage water has spilled all over at different places. Even as the hospitals struggle to function normally- mainly due to power supply disconnect and ambulances stranded on the roads- the doctors are in full charge with 1,700 doctors on duty.
