The onset of heat spell in this region of the country has given rise to certain infections among children and infants while health experts fear that the situation might worsen if proper preventive measures are not taken by the parents in time.
The healthcare facilities, including allied hospitals, are receiving heavy influx of child patients with heat related infections including diarrhoea. The health experts say that a major reason behind sharp increase in number of cases of diarrhoea is lack of awareness among parents on how to avoid such infections.
?We are receiving great number of child patients with diarrhoea at Benazir Bhutto Hospital while a few suspected cases of cholera have also been reported, however, they are not confirmed positive as yet,? said Head of Paediatrics Department at the BBH Dr Rai Asghar while talking to ?The News?.
