Monsoon Health: Staying Safe in the Rainy Season

The monsoon brings relief from heat — and a surge of infections. Drink only boiled or filtered water. Avoid street food during peak humidity. Keep rain gear handy and change out of wet clothes immediately. Watch for fever lasting more than 48 hours — early testing for dengue and typhoid saves lives. Ensure your tyres and drains around the house are clear of standing water where mosquitoes breed. Our emergency department is open 24/7 through the season.
