Picture a busy hospital ward. A patient is recovering, only to be bitten by a mosquito that slipped through an open window. This single bite could spark a new dengue crisis within the very walls meant to provide healing.
With global dengue cases surging, hospitals are paradoxically high-risk zones. The solution? A simple, yet powerful line of defence: mosquito screens for hospitals. This isn’t just about comfort; it’s a critical component of dengue prevention in hospitals.
Installing specialised hospital window insect screens and balcony mosquito screens creates a chemical-free barrier, protecting vulnerable patients and staff.
It’s time to install Phifer aluminium screens in hospitals and upgrade hospital windows with crease-fit ditto screens as a fundamental part of dengue outbreak control.
The Growing Dengue Risk in Healthcare Settings
Hospitals are high-risk zones. Crowded rooms, poor airflow, and open doors invite mosquitoes. Medical facility insect screens block entry points without blocking fresh air—essential for patient comfort and safety.
Key Statistics on Dengue Impact
Over 400 million infections yearly (CDC)
5 million cases in Southeast Asia in 2023
Hospital-acquired infections rose 15% in outbreak zones.
Why Hospitals Are Prime Targets
Open doors during patient transfers
Vents and gaps allow mosquito entry
Immunocompromised patients are more vulnerable.
A Real-World Example from India
In 2022, a Mumbai hospital saw 50 dengue cases in one month. The culprit? Unscreened windows. After installing screens, cases dropped to zero within weeks.
How Mosquito Screens Work to Stop Dengue
Fine mesh screens act as barriers against Aedes mosquitoes. They allow airflow while keeping bugs out—no chemicals needed.
