Dengue patients note! Online portal, helplines, avail now

Dengue patients hailing from Gurgaon can now immediately access information regarding maps of the city’s hospitals , blood groups, and insurance scheme details, on an exclusive and detailed ‘first of its kind’ portal called “humvsdengue.org” that was started on Wednesday, by the State Government .

This is a special step taken by the authorities to make available immediate help and proper treatment options for the agonized dengue effected patients. The help lines offered by the authorities for the aid of the people are:

Dengue awareness helpline: (0124-2222465)
Anti-mosquito fogging helpline (1800-180-1817)
These two numbers can be contacted from 9 AM to 5 PM.

The deputy civil surgeon, Snehlata, from Gurgaon has revealed to the Times of India, stating “The initiative will make it easier for volunteers to register themselves for blood donation, and also dengue patients to find donors. Besides this, the portal has all information about dos and don’ts at this time of the year. The objective is to prevent spread of dengue.”

The portal will have details on the dengue cases in the city, confirmed dengue cases and the patients receiving treatment. The Government school students can now avail a free insurance scheme initiated by the authorities and a private company.

Reports are confirming that the District authorities have managed to get almost 48 Government schools covered under the insurance initiative. The economically weaker children are also being provided provisions. Talking about this Snehlata said that the parents and the children both need to be aware of the free insurance scheme and its benefits offered by the authorities and said that, “We are also providing a list of all private hospitals so that children in need can immediately be rushed to nearest hospitals once they are diagnosed with dengue.”
