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.
