RAWALPINDI, (UrduPoint / Pakistan Point News - 25th Jul, 2021 ) :The District Health Authority has urged the people to ensure proper oral, internal and external hygiene to keep diseases at bay.
Chief Executive Officer (CEO) Health Dr Faiza Kanwal appealed to the public to be careful, as the body's immunity reduced during monsoon and made it vulnerable to many diseases, which were commonly associated with this season.
Talking to APP, she said the diseases associated with monsoon were malaria, jaundice, gastrointestinal infections like typhoid and cholera.
She said that puddles of water, which gets stagnant due to rainwater becomes breeding ground for mosquitoes and cause of spreading diseases like malaria and dengue fever. Dr Faiza advised using a mosquito net or mosquito repellants like mats and coils.
