Dengue Deaths Rise To 25 In Sindh As Cases Cross 10,000 Mark

Dengue deaths in Sindh have risen to 25 as the number of confirmed cases has crossed 10,000, according to provincial health authorities. The surge in infections has largely been attributed to stagnant water accumulation following heavy rains and inadequate vector-control measures. The outbreak is particularly severe in Hyderabad and Karachi, where hospitals are seeing a rush of patients with classic dengue symptoms and complications like low platelet counts. Health officials are ramping up fumigation efforts, encouraging public vigilance, and warning against self-medication. The situation underscores significant gaps in disease surveillance and emergency response in urban Sindh.
