we're at war.......

...with Dengue, that is.

Beginning early this year, KKM has launched an all out war against dengue, seeing the rise of dengue cases all over the country. In BM, it's called Perang Habis-habisan Menentang Denggi, and through the 10-Minutes Campaign, we are asked to promote self-inspection at home and work-place once a week for aedes mosquito breeding places.

Awareness on dengue fever and its transmission is rather good (knowledge-wise) but practices of seek-and-destroy breeding grounds is still low. Last year for the whole state there were only 2 dengue deaths, and the horrifying thing about it is that boh occured in Beluran. I guess it's about time to buck up our effort and do something about this situation.

Beluran Health Office has officially started this campaign today, with the District Office as our launch site.
