Dengue Checkup Camps |
|
|
|
|
During the rainy season, Dengue turned out to be a real unsolvable problem for the government of Punjab. Hospitals were filled to their capacities with dengue patient and this along with inadequate efforts on the part of the government led to a paranoia about this disease. People with minor fever also went to laboratories to have their blood tested for the disease. |
 |
|
|
Taking advantage of the situation many private laboratories stated charging more for the blood test. To save the innocent people from such laboratories, Himmat Trust, with the cooperation of Muhammadi Medical Trust, set up a Dengue Checkup Centre. The centre provided blood test facility from 8.00a.m till 1p.m in noon and in the evening from 5p.m to 10p.m. |
