JawaPos.com – The Ministry of Health (Kemenkes) is worried that the XX National Sports Week (PON) which is taking place in Papua from 2 to 15 October 2021 will be disrupted by malaria attacks. According to the Ministry of Health’s records, there are at least 435,000 people in the world who have died from malaria.
Malaria is triggered by the bite of a female Anopheles mosquito that carries the Plasmodium parasite. It should be noted that this mosquito parasite has the ability to reproduce in the organs of people who are bitten by this mosquito vector.
In Indonesia itself, the trend of malaria tends to decline in 2020. However, the Director of Prevention and Control of Vector and Zoonotic Diseases of the Indonesian Ministry of Health, Didik Budijanto, revealed that 86 percent of the cases were donated by Papua.
The Directorate of Prevention and Control of Vector and Zoonotic Diseases of the Indonesian Ministry of Health said that PON participants and tourists who want to watch the holding of the sports week must anticipate and know the characteristics of the various mosquitoes that carry a number of diseases in Papua.
As quoted by Antara, Didik revealed that there are three variants of diseases caused by mosquito bites in Papua, namely Anopheles which causes malaria and filariasis (elephantiasis) and Aedes aegypti which causes dengue.
Didik called Anopheles a mosquito who likes clubbing. Because these mosquitoes only come out at night from 18.00 until morning. “Anopheles mosquitoes love clubbing. These mosquitoes will be ready when the sun begins to set. At that time he will preen himself and fly looking for prey,” he said.
One way to prevent malaria is to use a Soffell mosquito repellent product that is able to safely repel mosquito bites, such as a shield but is soft and cool on the skin from the active ingredient of leaf extract. Sofell is also known to be the Official Partner of Mosquito Repellent PON XX Papua 2021.
Soffell is very enthusiastic in organizing XX Papua PON and cares about protecting the health of the athletes who compete. “We are very enthusiastic because this is one of the places where great athletes will be born, but we have to keep them safe from the dangers of mosquito bites, so Soffell is a partner on standby for mosquito repellent for athletes.” Said Ita Karo Karo, Head of Marketing Enesis Group.
The advantages of Soffell products also contain moisturizers, the optimal concentration of active ingredients is 13 percent so that it is effective in repelling mosquitoes but not hot on the skin, safe on the skin because it is made from leaf extract.
