Hospital laboratories  in Dengue affected Districts 24 hours per day for the benefit of rising number of Dengue Patients.

The Ministry has already distributed Auto Analyzer Machines for the all Government Hospitals with laboratory facilities to support this kind of emergancy situations according to the Health Ministry officials.

This topic had been widely discussed during the Dengue Management Meeting held under the patronage of Health Ministry secretary Janaka Sugathadasa today (23)at the Ministry.

Around 20% out of the 69,043  Dengue patients reported from the country this year up to now were school children and therefore the National Dengue Control Unit has requested from the parents to apply mosquito repellants like citronella oil on their body to avoid mosquito bites.
