Hyderabad, July 16 (Maxim News): Health Minister T Harish Rao has directed the officials concerned to take adequate steps on war footing to prevent the spread of infectious diseases in the flood-hit areas and to set up health camps in villages.

Minister Harish Rao held a review meeting with district health officials and medical officers here on Saturday and discussed about the effective measures to contain the spread of diseases in the flood-hit areas.

Stating that the doctors should be available round the clock and they should not take leaves, the Minister asked them to participate in health camps and ensure diagnosis where required and supply of medicine as needed.
