Antisipasi DBD, Diskes Lakukan Fogging di Daerah Endemis

North Lampung – Seeing the increasing number of dengue hemorrhagic fever (DHF) sufferers in early 2016, the North Lampung District Health Office carried out fogging in several areas that were considered endemic. ‎Representing the Head of the Lampura Diskes dr.Hj.Maya Metissa, the Head of Disease Control and Prevention (P2P) Hj. Neli Kusrianti M.Kes., said that this Fogging has been carried out by the Health Office through the P2P section since last week.
“Considering that in January 2016, the number of DHF sufferers reached 129 people. For that, we anticipate from the start, because last year the number of DHF sufferers was quite a lot. If the program is usually programmed, there are criteria such as new cases, we will do fogging. last year there were quite a lot of cases of dengue fever so we will immediately implement it,” said Hj. Neli when met while supervising Fogging at SMAN 1 Kotabumi, Monday, January 30, 2017.
Still said Neli, prevention of dengue fever is carried out in vulnerable areas and schools. There are 17 fogging points that will be carried out starting from SDN 4 Kotabumi, SMAN 1 Kotabumi, SMPN 1 Kotabumi, SMA Bhayangkari, SD / SMP Xaperius, SMPN 3 Kotabumi, SMAN 4 Kotabumi. Then SMAN 3 Kotabumi, SD Ibnu Rusyd, Kindergarten/SD Insan Robani, SMPN 7 Kotabumi, SMKN 1 Kotabumi, Kindergarten Pertiwi, Regent’s Office House, Deputy Regent’s Office Home, Regency Secretary’s Office Home and Regional House of Representatives Chairperson.
“Today there are six places that we are fogging. For other locations the next day, and the district government offices and other areas will be carried out in stages.” he added.
As an appeal, the community is asked to continue to do 3M+, namely draining the bathtub, closing the water reservoir and burying the file plus Abate. This is because mosquitoes often nest in water drains in refrigerators, dispensers, water reservoirs and flower pots, cans or used goods that can hold water.
For this reason, every house must have a jumantik interpreter who always conducts inspections in these vulnerable places.
“For this reason, we urge the public to intensify 3M+ because in fogging, only adult mosquitoes are eradicated and mosquito larvae do not die. For that, there must be a larvae interpreter in their respective homes,” he concluded. (*)
