Bima, katada.id – Dengue hemorrhagic fever (DHF) is currently rife in Bima District. It is recorded that seven people have died.
The Soromandi Health Center is also aggressively carrying out eradication of mosquito nests (PSN) in a number of villages. Moreover, so far there have been two suspected DHF children.
The two suspected DHF patients came from the villages of Punti and Kananta. Both have been referred to Bima Hospital and Bima City Hospital. “Most of the suspected DHF patients are still children,” explained the Head of Administration of the Soromandi Health Center, Muamar Kadafi, accompanied by the Surveillance Coordinator of the Soromandi Health Center, Agus Haryanto, Friday (27/1/2023).
He revealed that officers from the Soromandi Health Center had carried out PSN in the villages of Punti, Lewintana and Kananta. Last Friday, his party together with the sub-district government, village government, Babinsa, and Babinkamtibmas came out to appeal to the people in Sarita Hamlet, Punti Village. “We clean gutters in residential areas. This is an effort to prevent it from becoming a mosquito nest,” he said.
Officers invite people to adopt a healthy lifestyle. Like cleaning containers that can become mosquito larvae nests. His party also asked the community to implement 3 M, namely draining, closing and burying water reservoirs that have the potential to become mosquito breeding grounds.
“We also distribute abates, larvae surveys and PSN. If a healthy lifestyle is implemented, God willing, we can prevent dengue,” he said. (sat)
