16 May - National Dengue Day

 

 

India observes National Dengue Day on 16 May as suggested by the Union Health Ministry to create awareness about the disease.

This day is dedicated to raising awareness about dengue fever, a mosquito-borne viral infection that poses a significant public health challenge in India and many other tropical and subtropical regions around the world.

National Dengue Day aims to educate people about the causes, symptoms, prevention, and control measures for dengue fever. Activities on this day may include health campaigns, educational programs, workshops, distribution of informational materials, and community outreach efforts to promote measures such as eliminating mosquito breeding sites, using insect repellents, and seeking timely medical care.
