Some 300 medical teams from all over the world has been sent across Asia to fight and prevent outbreaks of Dengue. The BBC News was told by Mumbai officials that 250 people had been rushed to various Mumbai hospitals stricken with Dengue fevers for the past several days. “They are all suffering from fever, Leptospirosis was suspected. There is no epidemic, though,” claims the source of the news. This was thwarted by the statement of a Mumbai Health officer who otherwise stated that Dengue fever was indeed a major concern in their country. Well actually isn’t it a major problem for practically everyone in the third world?
