Why is it important for the Centre to support States in tackling dengue

Centre committed to support States in tackling dengue, says Mansukh Mandaviya
  • Dengue is a public health issue that affects the entire country, and the central government plays a crucial role in guiding and coordinating efforts to tackle the disease.
  • The central government has access to resources, expertise, and infrastructure that can be leveraged to support states in their fight against dengue.
  • By assisting states in tackling dengue, the central government ensures that the disease is controlled and prevented from spreading to other regions.
  • Collaboration between the Centre and the states helps in the exchange of information, best practices, and strategies for dengue prevention and management.
  • Support from the Centre can help states strengthen their healthcare systems, enhance diagnostic capabilities, and procure necessary medical supplies to effectively manage dengue cases.
  • Central government assistance can also aid in mobilizing additional resources, such as funding, manpower, and technical support, which may be lacking at the state level.
  • Coordinated efforts between the Centre and the states can lead to the implementation of comprehensive prevention programs, mosquito control measures, and public awareness campaigns, which are vital in combating dengue.
  • Dengue outbreaks can have significant economic consequences, and by supporting states, the central government reduces the burden on the healthcare system and minimizes the impact on the economy.
  • Overall, the Centre's commitment to supporting states in tackling dengue is essential to ensure the effective control, prevention, and management of the disease at a national level.
