VBDRS

The endless fight against Vector Borne Disease, especially dengue fever, starts and revolves around the identification of mosquito breeding spots and managing them adequately in a proper way. The Vector Borne Disease Reporting System (VBDRS) stands as a pivotal initiative of the Government of West Bengal, aiming to combat the pervasive threat posed by dengue fever and other mosquito-borne diseases. Recognizing the profound impact of vector-borne illnesses on public health, the government has spearheaded this comprehensive system to monitor, analyze, and respond to outbreaks effectively.

Primarily, it acts as a surveillance mechanism, diligently monitoring the vector breeding sources and distribution of vector populations across the state. By leveraging sophisticated data collection techniques, including information sourced from Gram Panchayat level workers and other stakeholders, the system ensures a comprehensive understanding of disease dynamics, enabling the authorities to identify emerging trends, hotspots of transmission, and vulnerable populations, empowering them to allocate resources strategically and implement targeted interventions.
