Chandigarh 06th May:- Science Club of Gian Jyoti Global School celebrated Malaria Prevention
Week at its premises in Phase -2, Mohali to create awareness among the students
about the causes, symptoms, effects and preventions of Malaria. Pavit and Gurleen
students of 10th class gave a knowledgeable lecture through a
presentation to all students about Malaria Preventions.
In the presentation, students were told to avoid sleeping outside or in
the vicinity of areas where mosquitoes like to live, e.g. standing water
(lakes, waste dumps). Use an insect spray containing pyrethroids in all
living and sleeping areas, especially during evening and nighttime hours. Wear
long sleeve shirts and trousers in the evening and at night.
Prevention of malaria involves protecting yourself against mosquito bites and taking anti
malarial medicines. But public health officials strongly recommend that young
children and pregnant women avoid
traveling to areas where malaria is common.
Ranjeet Bedi, Principal, Gian Jyoti Global
School while speaking on the occasion said that it is very important to know that malaria
is a preventable disease and we should take this responsibility to make aware
each and every one regarding this disease.
Ranjeet Bedi further said that it is our youth
only who will come forward to spread the awareness to the masses, so that we
can eradicate Malaria from our country.
