Health Authorities Take Measures to Control Diseases in Flood Areas
Chinese health authorities at different levels are taking various preventative and control measures to contain diseases in flooded areas, including east China's Aihui province, Wednesday's China Daily reported, quoting a health official.

The overall situation regarding disease control in flood-affected areas is good, but a high level of vigilance ought to be maintained and some areas of work should be improved, said Wang Zijun, a division director from the Ministry of Health.

Wang has just finished his three-day inspection in Anhui Province with two experts from the Ministry of Health.

The central government has given a total of one million yuan (about US$120,000) to Anhui province to specially support disease prevention, according to the health ministry.

Some public hygiene problems, such as sewage and rubbish disposal, are required to be solved immediately, said the English-language newspaper.

These problems may greatly increase the chances for people to contract intestinal diseases and other infectious diseases.
