K-P implements dengue prevention plan for 2025

Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa's Chief Minister Ali Amin Gandapur has initiated the Dengue Action Plan 2025 to address an expected dengue outbreak. Authorities are directed to prepare and implement urgent measures, emphasizing coordinated efforts across departments. The plan includes a month-wise schedule for activities such as surveillance, vector control, and public awareness campaigns. Each department's role will be defined to ensure effective contributions throughout the year. In October 2023, K-P reported 1,941 dengue cases, with Peshawar having the highest number. The Health Department has increased surveillance and control measures, including a public awareness campaign by health workers.
