In Pakistan, every year floods bring death and destruction in most parts of the country. Flash floods disrupt the social and economic fabric of society as well as disturb the ecosystem functions and biodiversity.
As a result of floods, immediate danger to communities is in the form of physical injury, loss of life, damage to infrastructure, mass migration and the increase in the number of the risk of water-borne diseases.
WHO kits contain medical supplies which will help the doctors to treat the flood affectees in the emergency. Usually, flood affectees contract many water-borne diseases.
Dengue is one of the most common post-flood viral diseases which affect thousands of people every year. IEC material provided by WHO will help the government to communicate the risk factor related to Dengue in the community and spread awareness about it.

National Command & Operations Center (NCOC) appreciated the efforts of Dr. Raja Amjad, DG NHEPRN & his team for the continuous dedication, Commitment & hard work displayed during 100 days of Nation's resolve against the COVID-19 pandemic.
