Dr Mriganka Mahato’s question in LS on infrastructure to tackle vector-borne diseases in rural areas

Dr Mriganka Mahato’s question in LS on infrastructure to tackle vector-borne diseases in rural areas

Water-borne  diseases cause a great deal of morbidity and mortality in rural India. It has been found that at the primary health centres, which cover most of the village panchayats, there is no minimum infrastructure like laboratory facilities or lab technicians. So my question to the Hon’ble Minister is that whether the Central Government in cooperation with State Governments, would take up the matter as a challenge to improve the situation and undertake regular improvement and vigilance on this matter.
