Haryana: Health minister issues direction for checking dengue
Chandigarh: Haryana Health Minister Anil Vij directed all Deputy Commissioners and civil surgeons in the state to take effective measures like fogging and anti-larvae spray to prevent the spread of malaria, dengue and chikungunya.
He also directed all civil surgeons to ensure supply of medicines and proper management of beds in hospitals.
Kits have been made available in all districts to test patients for dengue according to the prescribed norms. The private hospitals cannot charge more than the prescribed fee for Elisa test, he said.
They would have to display the rates list, Vij said.
He said that in case a patient is found suffering from dengue, he would be certified only by the laboratories of district hospitals of the state government and no other hospital would confirm the disease at its own level.
This rule would have to be followed by all government-run primary and community health centres, sub divisional hospitals and private hospitals, Vij said.
