Islamabad's district administration has announced a consistent decrease in dengue fever cases across the capital, attributing this positive development to ongoing surveillance and prompt anti-dengue measures.
Massive Anti-Dengue Drive Shows Results
Health authorities conducted extensive inspections across the capital during the latest anti-dengue campaign. Field teams examined 34,110 different locations throughout both rural and urban areas of Islamabad as part of comprehensive preventive measures.
The operation targeted mosquito breeding grounds with precision, carrying out fogging at 1,146 identified hotspots and spraying 983 residential houses to eliminate potential breeding sites. The coordinated effort has yielded measurable results, with only 12 new dengue cases confirmed in the past 24 hours.
Current Patient Statistics and Distribution
Of the newly reported infections, health officials noted that 7 patients originated from rural zones while 5 cases were reported from urban areas of Islamabad. The current hospitalization count shows that 30 dengue patients are receiving treatment at various hospitals across the city.
Monitoring teams provided crucial data about mosquito breeding patterns, discovering positive larvae at 127 locations while only one site tested negative. This information demonstrates that vector control measures are being effectively implemented where risks are identified.
Administration Credits Public Cooperation
District administration officials emphasized that the declining trend in new infections reflects the success of their multi-pronged approach. Regular inspections, rapid response mechanisms, and community awareness campaigns have collectively contributed to controlling the disease's spread.
"The consistent decline in new cases demonstrates the impact of timely field interventions and strict monitoring," stated health authorities. Most hospitalized patients have successfully recovered and returned home, with only a limited number remaining under medical care.
The administration issued a stern warning that legal action will be taken against individuals or institutions found violating dengue prevention guidelines and standard operating procedures. Officials stressed that continued citizen cooperation remains essential to maintain the downward trend.
Residents are urged to maintain vigilance by eliminating stagnant water around their homes and reporting potential breeding sites to authorities. "Collective responsibility and community participation are key to making Islamabad dengue-free," the district administration reaffirmed, committing to daily surveillance and field inspections until complete control over the mosquito-borne disease is achieved.
