The Ministry of Health is also targeting in 2020-2024 to increase the percentage of districts/cities that have incidents rate Dengue hemorrhagic fever (DHF) is less than 49 per 100,000 population.
This increase is targeted to be at least 5% annually. Successively in 2020 it has reached 70%, 2021 to 75%, in 2022 it will increase to 80%, then 85% in 2023, and to 90% in 2024.

According to him, the term dengue is different from dengue hemorrhagic fever (DHF). The term DHF is a small part of dengue. DHF is severe dengue.
In simple terms, dengue includes several diseases, one of which is called DHF. Meanwhile, the public has been more familiar with the socialization of dengue prevention.
This will begin to change with the socialization of dengue prevention because what needs to be handled is all dengue diseases ranging from mild to severe.
“If we are going to tackle DHF, it means tackling the severe ones, even though the mild ones are worried that they will turn into severe ones,” concluded Didik.
