With the folks in the nearby districts of Chennai catching the dengue bug like wildfire, Thiruvallur district isn’t spared from this unwelcome guest either. The Thiruvallur District Government General Hospital is feeling the heat with a surge in dengue cases on their hands.
I mean, this ain’t no picnic, folks! The Thiruvallur Government Hospital is like a battlefield with fever cases piling up left, right, and center, affecting both grown-ups and little tykes.
Now, when we’re talking about adults, it’s like a daily dose of 45-50 fever cases, and the kids are no exception, with roughly 30 tiny tots showing up. But hold on to your seats; most of these are just your run-of-the-mill viral flu or influenza. Dengue’s just making a sporadic appearance in this chaotic parade.
Hold the phone, though! The real kicker is that they got two grown-ups and three pint-sized patients fighting dengue’s battle. One kiddo’s even having a bit of a showdown with dehydration. Now, ain’t that a wake-up call for parents? You gotta make that dash to the hospital before things get serious; we’re talkin’ life and death here! Dr. J Revathy, the head honcho at the hospital, had a word or two to say about this mess.
Thanks to some non-stop awareness campaigns, hospital referrals are happening right on time. It’s like a race against time, but they’re managing to treat folks and keep ’em breathing, which is a relief, for sure!
The outpatient general medicine departments, on the other hand, are like a beehive. They’re buzzing with about 200 cases a day, talk about keeping the doctors busy!
To tackle this mess, the hospital bigwigs ain’t sittin’ on their hands. They’ve rolled out a fever ward and a dengue wardrobe, so if you’re afflicted with fever or dengue, you get some serious TLC.
Now, ain’t that something? Health Minister Ma Subramanian even dropped in for a surprise inspection at the Dengue Special treatment ward. It’s like a surprise pop quiz in school, but with health officials. He also had a pow-wow with the folks in charge to check how they’re handling this dengue drama.
Plus, they’re throwing in some special health camps to hunt down fever and dengue cases. It’s all happening under the watchful eye of the Deputy Director of Health Services. They’re basically playing detective for fever and dengue, and I bet they’re doing it with all the gusto of Sherlock Holmes.
So, there you have it, folks! Thiruvallur is battlin’ it out with dengue, and it’s a real showdown out there. Stay safe and don’t let that fever sneak up on ya!
