COVID-19 is a major ongoing health risk for everyone including children. There are instances of overlap in symptoms of COVID-19 and mosquito-borne diseases, posing double threat to kids. The Health Management Information System (HMIS), a data dashboard of India’s National Health Mission (NHM), reported over 3.37 lakh cases of malaria and 1.30 lac dengue cases between April 2020 to March 2021.  Mosquito-borne diseases spike up during the monsoon season from June to October. As of today, the health risk is greater with kids venturing outdoors as the lockdown is lifted in most parts of India. When our healthcare system is already stretched due to the pandemic, we cannot be unprepared for mosquito-borne diseases. Acknowledging these concerns, EuroKids and Goodknight will drive activities to build lifelong awareness of mosquito-borne diseases and their prevention tactics. 

Speaking about the collaboration, KVS Seshasai, CEO, Pre-K Division, EuroKids International, said, “The learning and development milestones are crucial in the early years of development. And for holistic development mind, body and soul need to be aligned and functioning well. Young children are very much prone to diseases like malaria, dengue. These diseases can be taken care of if proper hygienic facilities are adhered to. The Goodknight brand from GCPL is one of the leading household names in India and this partnership will help our message of continuous and uninterrupted learning spread amongst the masses. We look forward to reaching all the people and make sure that people are aware of the hygienic practices to follow”.
