Mumbai's health concerns shift in 2025
Mumbai's early monsoon has led to a noticeable jump in diseases like malaria, dengue, chikungunya, and gastroenteritis this year.
Compared to last year, malaria cases increased from 2,055 to 2,857, gastroenteritis rose to 4,513 from 4,200, chikungunya cases shot up from 21 to 136, and dengue climbed from 431 to 452.
TL;DR
BMC on alert; advise people to keep clean
On the bright side, leptospirosis and COVID-19 numbers have actually dropped.
The BMC is on alert—they've inspected thousands of construction sites and tested over 50,000 blood samples already.
Their advice: clear out anything that collects water (think old tires), keep your hands clean, and follow basic hygiene so mosquitoes don't get the upper hand this season.
