In a bid to prevent dengue outbreak in the State, Haryana Government has launched ‘Hum versus Dengue’ campaign, under which children studying in Government schools in Gurugram would be provided free insurance cover of up to Rs20,000 for treatment of dengue. The campaign would be implemented jointly with the company DHFl.
People may participate in the campaign by promoting the campaign amongst their friends, family, neighbours and employees and encouraging them to engage in their individual capacity, said an official spokesman of Haryana Health Department.
They may also sponsor dengue protection kits for underprivileged children at the rate of Rs300, including dengue protection workshop, mosquito repellent and dengue treatment to the tune of Rs20,000 for a year, he said.
The spokesman said that citizens may also encourage family and friends to volunteer for blood donation campaigns and request awareness workshops for students, employees or fellow residents.
