Sanggau Regency Health Service Takes Action to Combat Dengue Outbreak

SANGGAU, SP — Following up on the findings of a team from the Ministry of Health of the Republic of Indonesia in Sanggau Regency, the Sanggau Regency Health Service has carried out environmental cleaning efforts to avoid loci for the development of mosquito nests.

Secretary of the Sanggau District Health Service, Najori, emphasized that there are no problems in the environmental conditions of the health service and massive cleaning has been carried out, especially locations that have the potential to cause mosquito nests and larvae to breed.

“Thank God, we immediately followed up with environmental cleaning activities in the office. In general, conditions are safe and clean,” he told reporters.

Najori continued, Regarding the handling of extraordinary incidents of dengue hemorrhagic fever (KLB DBD), his party has taken steps in accordance with the procedures given.

“We have carried out procedures for handling KLB and we have conveyed this to the Ministry of Health team including PSN and 3M as well as fogging in each sub-district. From the data and reports, the Ministry of Health team has asked that it be routinely and periodically submitted considering the developing trend of dengue fever,” he explained.

He said that the presence of the Ministry of Health team wanted to take samples of larvae for research to find out the types of larvae, whether they were different from other areas.

“Because all the dengue cases are in West Kalimantan. But it turns out the death rate in Sanggau is high. But I emphasize, treatment has been carried out according to the procedures, at least initial treatment for dengue fever has been carried out according to the KLB criteria,” he said.

“Patients who come with a fever are examined with N-1, if they are positive for dengue fever then a minimum of treatment is carried out at the Puskesmas for two days. If they do not show progress, they must be referred to the hospital. And if the results and general condition show that the situation cannot be “treated and N-1 positive puskesmas can immediately refer to the designated hospital,” he continued.

Sanggau’s courage to determine the dengue outbreak shows a commitment that Sanggau is serious about dealing with the dengue fever that occurs. For this reason, various prevention activities are carried out through socialization and counseling on PSN, 3 M and fogging.

Najori also added that the DBD outbreak in Sanggau has also been extended until December 31 2023. If developments continue to increase during this time period, the outbreak could be extended.

“In the context of extending the DHF outbreak, I invite stakeholders at the hamlet, village and sub-district levels to massively carry out PSN and 3M plus efforts as well as community health centers to educate and educate the community about the dangers of dengue fever and implement 3M plus, especially posyandu,” he concluded.
