By 2024, the infected areas will reach 482 districts/cities. In addition, the dengue transmission cycle, which previously averaged 10 years, is now three years or faster.

According to the Director of Prevention and Control of Infectious Diseases (P2PM), Dr. Ina Agustina, this trend shows that although cases are increasing, the dengue death rate per case is decreasing.

“DHF cases tend to increase, but the death rate compared to the number of cases tends to decrease,” Ina said at the same time.

In addition, the Ministry of Health also introduced the latest innovations, such as the Aedes aegypti mosquito technology that contains Wolbachia and the dengue vaccine.

“Various efforts have been made to control dengue. “So, we get involved in everything, we get involved in the environment, the mosquitoes too, the people too,” said Ina.PeP
