(VNA) – A working team from the Ministry of Health led by Vice Director of the
Preventive Medicine Department Dang Quang Tan inspected the prevention and
control of dengue fever in the central city of Da Nang on August 4.
The team advised the
city to pay greater attention to killing mosquito larva in the community and
spraying chemicals in areas of high risk, while raising public awareness of the
work. Da Nang should also encourage locals to go to immediately
after they find any dengue fever symptoms.
At the same time, the
team also asked the municipal Health Department to roll out stronger measures
against diseases and pandemics, especially .
According to the Da
Nang Health Department, since the beginning of this year, the city has recorded
3,800 dengue fever cases, up 85 percent over the same period last year. The
unusual weather condition with high humidity was one of the reasons behind the
spreading of the mosquito-borne virus.
In addition, most
locals have paid inadequate attention to the killing of mosquito larva in their
houses and residential areas to prevent dengue fever.-VNA
