JAMSHEDPUR – Kerala Samajam Model School recently held a dengue awareness session for students of Std. 5 and 6, focusing on the importance of early detection and prevention.

The session was conducted by Nurse Kamla V, who provided detailed insights into the symptoms, causes, and preventive measures against dengue.

Dengue fever, caused by the dengue virus, is transmitted by the Aedes mosquito and poses a significant health risk, especially in tropical regions like India.

The World Health Organization (WHO) reports that dengue affects millions of people globally each year, making awareness and prevention efforts crucial.

KSMS’s initiative is part of a broader effort to educate students on health and hygiene, ensuring they are well-informed about the risks associated with dengue and how to protect themselves and their families.
