In most areas of interior Sindh, gastro, malaria, and other stomach diseases are increasing at an alarming rate.
In the Badin area of Tando Allahyar, malaria and stomach illnesses have started spreading rapidly, and hospitals are filled with patients.
According to hospital sources, 355 malaria tests were conducted, out of which 62 tested positive for malaria.
In addition, 116 gastro patients were reported in Tando Allahyar during the past week and were immediately provided medical assistance.
The Medical Superintendent (MS) of Taluka Hospital told that due to extremely poor sanitation conditions and the use of contaminated water, these diseases are spreading rapidly.
He advised citizens to boil drinking water before use and also take measures to protect their homes from mosquitoes.
It should be noted that malaria is a mosquito-borne disease caused by a parasite called Plasmodium.
This disease spreads through the bite of a female Anopheles mosquito when it bites an infected person and then bites a healthy one, thus transmitting the disease.
To prevent malaria, it is necessary to avoid mosquito bites by using mosquito sprays, wearing body covering clothes, using mosquito nets, and ensuring that water does not accumulate around homes.
