Monsoon Is Coming: The arrival of the monsoon brings much-needed relief from the scorching summer heat, but it also marks the onset of waterborne and vector-borne diseases. The humid, stagnant, and moist environment created by the rains becomes a perfect breeding ground for pathogens and mosquitoes. Diseases like Dengue, Typhoid, and Viral Fevers rise significantly during this season and pose a serious public health challenge.
At Link Hospital, Gwalior, we are equipped with the latest diagnostic tools, experienced physicians, and emergency services to help you fight these seasonal illnesses effectively.
