Apart from this a mobile hospital too has been started. This mobile unit will reach the address where Dengue patients live and the Medical Officers will diagnosis and will start treatment immediately. If need arises, blood samples will be collected and sent for further analysis.
Since the Dengue patients often need blood, plasma, platelets etc for treatment, a Self-Help Group Voluntary Blood Bank has come forward to supply these at cheap rates. This will also be available to all those who fall below poverty line.
