Vijayawada: The Andhra Pradesh government has introduced a new strategy to tackle contagious diseases by enabling citizens to report outbreaks through an online platform.

Health commissioner G.

Citizens can log details of suspected outbreaks on the web link https://ihip.mohfw.gov.in
using the ID 202511. The information will be transmitted directly to senior health officials, allowing them to initiate prompt action to contain and control the spread of diseases.
Veerapandian appealed to the public to make use of the platform to help health authorities respond quickly to outbreaks and prevent their spread across the state.
