Dr. Manish Mattoo, Zonal Director, Fortis Hospitals said, “Every year at the onset of summers we have seen a spurt in Infectious diseases and viral infections. Awareness and timely consultation with the doctor can help control such outbreaks. Personal hygiene backed by community hygiene measures like proper sewage disposal and supply of safe drinking water are imperative for us to become a healthier city. An initiative like this resonates well with our philosophy of connecting with our community and addressing their healthcare needs.”
