Problem: Dengue fever is a mosquito-borne tropical disease caused by the dengue virus. World wide it affects nearly 110 countries. There is no know medication and neither is any vaccine available in our country. If not treated early, it may also turn fatal. In India it continues to involve newer areas, newer populations and is increasing in magnitude. Symptoms typically begin three to fourteen days after infection. This may include high fever, headache, vomiting, muscle and joint pains and a characteristic skin rash.

Solution: Prevention of mosquito breeding and mosquito bites can go a long way in preventing/restricting this disease. Behtar Swasthya is an endeavor to provide promotive and preventive healthcare to the entire community and curative healthcare specifically to the under privileged children. Creating awareness about dengue is easy and helpful. Beyond that, it takes just Rs. 300 to provide DENGUE PREVENTION KIT to an under-privileged child. The kit consists of three things:

1. Mosquito borne diseases prevention workshop by a local NGO
2. Mosquito repellants to tide over the monsoon period
3. Dengue treatment cover worth Rs 23,000 valid for a period of one year

Aim: The aim of the task is to spread dengue prevention awareness and help sponsor DENGUE PROTECTION KITS under-privileged children.
