Abstract
The mitigation of infectious diseases in India, notably Dengue, assumes pivotal importance due to their significant repercussions on human and animal health, thereby imposing a considerable burden on the healthcare infrastructure. This review underscores the ongoing initiatives in infectious disease management, endorsing the implementation of a comprehensive healthcare strategy. Emphasis is placed on the augmentation of reporting mechanisms through the integration of IgM detection kits, advocating for heightened investments in research endeavors. The strategic allocation of resources, coupled with precision-targeted interventions, is underscored as essential for effective disease control. Collaborative engagements among governmental entities, healthcare professionals, and community stakeholders are identified as imperative components in reinforcing the healthcare system. This approach is deemed necessary for navigating the intricate and evolving landscape of infectious diseases in India, aligning with the overarching goal of enhancing public health outcomes.
