New Delhi: There has been a surge in dengue  cases in the country in 2012 when as many as 50,222 cases were reported against 18,860 in 2011. Health Minister Ghulam Nabi Azad told the Rajya Sabha today that 28,292 cases were reported during the year 2010 of the outbreak prone disease transmitted through mosquito bites. He said in view of upsurge and geographical spread of dengue to newer areas, a mid-term plan has been developed for prevention and control of dengue and many advisories have been issued from time to time to control and manage the outbreak of dengue. Field visits are carried out to assess the preparedness and to provide technical guidance to states, Azad said in a written reply to a query, adding that training is imparted to clinicians on case management as per GOI guidelines and to other health care functionaries on programme activities.
