“Pakistan Reports Over 20,000 Dengue Cases Amid Rising Health Concerns”

Pakistan is grappling with a significant dengue outbreak, as the number of reported cases across the country has surpassed 20,000. The alarming figures have raised concerns among health authorities and the public, with major urban centers bearing the brunt of the mosquito-borne disease.

Punjab and Sindh have reported the highest number of cases, with hospitals in Lahore and Karachi overwhelmed by dengue patients. The surge in cases is attributed to prolonged monsoon rains, poor sanitation, and inadequate mosquito control measures. Public health experts have warned that the situation could worsen if immediate preventive actions are not taken.

Authorities have launched awareness campaigns to educate the public about dengue prevention, including the importance of removing stagnant water, using mosquito repellents, and ensuring protective clothing. Additionally, fumigation drives have been intensified in high-risk areas, though critics argue that these efforts have been insufficient to curb the outbreak.

The rising dengue numbers add further strain to the country’s healthcare system, which is already dealing with other infectious diseases. Health officials have urged citizens to remain vigilant and seek medical attention if they experience symptoms such as high fever, severe headaches, or body aches. The government has called for coordinated efforts to address the crisis and prevent further escalation.
