The health department has launched a new initiative to reach out to people at their doorstep to identify and treat them for monsoon-related ailments.
On Monday, Health Minister Ma. Subramanian inspected the department’s efforts at Sengeniamman Koil Street in Perungudi. “We went to houses in localities where water stagnation occurred for the past four days and checked for cases of fever, cold, diarrhoea and foot sores. We have given them medicines,” he said.
Under the State’s ‘Makkalai Thedi Maruthuvam’ scheme, 37,43,015 persons have benefited so far. Health camps would be held at 500 places every day, the minister said.
With the clock ticking down to the Lok Sabha election counting day on Tuesday, opposing fronts are perceptibly edgy and poised to continue the rancorous skirmishing that marked the campaign season in Kerala. The United Democratic Front, led by the Congress, is seemingly basking in the “interim victory” granted by various exit polls. The UDF discerns that its poll strategy of turning the polls foremostly into a damning referendum on the Left Democratic Front government’s perceived failures rather than BJP’s “divisive politics” at the national level stood a fighting chance of paying off.
