33 dengue fever patients recovered

(Baonghean.vn)- Of the 34 people with dengue fever in Hung Nguyen district, 33 have recovered, the remaining are being treated at the commune health station.

On the afternoon of October 5, a working delegation of the Department of Health led by Meritorious Doctor - BSCKII Bui Dinh Long, Director of the Department of Health, went to Hung Linh commune and Hung Long commune, Hung Nguyen district to inspect and direct the work of preventing and suppressing dengue fever.

Health Department leaders visit dengue fever patients being treated at Hung Long commune health station.

To date, Hung Nguyen district has recorded 34 cases of dengue fever, the outbreak mainly occurring in Hung Long and Hung Linh communes. 33 cases have been cured, one case is being treated at Hung Long commune health station, and no deaths have been reported.

The cause of the epidemic is that people are still negligent about dengue fever. Household equipment such as jars and water tanks are not covered tightly; waste such as bottles, jars, and boxes are still thrown around haphazardly, creating stagnant water, creating conditions for mosquitoes to lay eggs.

Health workers instruct people to kill mosquito larvae to prevent dengue fever.

Doctor Bui Dinh Long, Director of the Department of Health, requested local authorities and commune health stations in places with and without the epidemic to urgently launch an environmental sanitation campaign, clear bushes and hiding places for mosquitoes, destroy mosquito larvae, turn over and destroy water-containing waste and water containers in households with the goal of "no mosquito larvae, no dengue fever".

Organize propaganda so that people in the district know about the dangers of dengue fever and preventive measures.
