B P Sharma, Secretary, Ministry of Health & Family Welfare held a meeting to review preparedness of various agencies to prevent and manage Dengue in the National Capital, here today.
Due to reporting of high density of vector breeding from various areas across Delhi, source reduction activity to eliminate the mosquito breeding was identified as a priority activity to reduce the risk of transmission as no vaccine is available for Dengue.
This was highlighted since there does not exist any specific drug for treatment of the disease.
