Takeda and USAID Partner to Combat Dengue

"Haarega Dengue, Haraenge Hum" is the name of a dengue preventive program that has been introduced throughout India by Takeda Biopharmaceuticals India and the United States Agency for International Development (USAID). The program is to encourage individuals to adopt behaviours that might lessen the spread of vector-borne diseases and to teach schools and communities in Maharashtra, Odisha, and Uttar Pradesh about how their actions can help avoid dengue.

The campaign will also look at how infectious disease transmission is impacted by climate change and offer solutions for enhancing readiness and fortifying health systems. General manager of Takeda Biopharmaceuticals India, Annapurna Das, stated that in order to safeguard communities against the effects of vector-borne illnesses, climate change initiatives must be accelerated by all sectors acting boldly and together. The project is in line with Takeda's mission to improve everyone's health and future prospects.
