Diseases derived from Water sources

The many children in the Pediatrics ward are suffering from a variety of tropical illnesses such as Dengue fever, hepatitis and viral infections. Dr. Archana, one of the main pediatricians at Aditya, explained that most of these diseases occur during this time (June to September) because of the heavy rains and the stagnant water that remains as the breeding ground for mosquitoes. She also mentioned many marriages take place during the summer and so there is food made in bulk in very unclean conditions. Hepatitis and dengue fever are mostly derived from mosquitoes and the viral infections are derived from the air pollution. Hepatitis can also be derived from blood transfusions which are common here because of anemia.
Anemia tends to be very common here because of lack of proper nutrition in food. Most of the populuation is Hindu and vegetarian so protein and key minerals are missing from the diet.
