The Sindh government has slashed dengue and malaria test rates at public health facilities. This decision aims to make testing affordable and accessible for residents amid rising mosquito-borne illnesses.
Health officials said the lower charges will motivate more patients to get tested. Early testing helps doctors provide timely treatment and prevent the spread of disease. Sindh’s move demonstrates the government’s commitment to improving public healthcare during seasonal outbreaks.

Citizens have welcomed the Sindh dengue and malaria test rate reduction. High costs previously stopped many from getting screened. Clinics and hospitals across the province must apply the new rates immediately.
Experts note that lower test costs enhance disease monitoring and response. “Affordable testing encourages people to get screened, which controls dengue and malaria,” said a senior health official.
The Sindh government also launched public awareness campaigns. These campaigns educate citizens about preventive measures, disease symptoms, and the importance of early testing for mosquito-borne infections.
This policy forms part of a broader initiative to strengthen public health infrastructure, reduce financial barriers, and ensure timely treatment for all residents. The Sindh dengue and malaria test reduction will improve overall health outcomes in the province.
