As Bengaluru moves from intense heat to monsoon, a surge in health issues, including typhoid, gastrointestinal issues such as diarrhoea and stomach infection, and skin issues.

Health

In the few days leading up to Tuesday, 1 July, we have seen more than 40–60 patients visiting the clinic each day. 

Health

This represents an increase of almost 15 percent compared to the number of cases usually reported at this time of year.

Health

Heavy rains and changes in weather conditions are leading to a rise in monsoon-related diseases, especially waterborne infections like malaria, dengue, and chikungunya etc.

Health

To avoid the risk of these diseases, we suggest our patients maintain good hygiene, use mosquito repellents and drink purified water.

Health

One of the factors to minimise the health risks during the monsoon season is staying hydrated and active, and consuming home-cooked food that includes Vitamin C, probiotics, and antioxidants.
