The authorities have initiated a free insurance scheme for students of government schools, with the help of a private company.

“It is important for children and their parents to know about the exact benefits of the free insurance scheme rolled out by the district authorities. 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.” Snehlata, deputy civil surgeon (vector-borne diseases), Gurugram, told The Times of India. More than 48 government schools have been covered in the initiative.
