Anti Dengue Campaign

Disseminating information is the key to solve the dengue menace. The public should be told that the best and most cost effective preventive strategy is source reduction. They should be taught specifically to search for artificial containers that can hold clean and stagnant water because it would be a possible breeding site for the mosquitoes.

The occurrence and spread of dengue are now not only confined to the known wet and rainy months of the year anymore because in some parts of the country, rain comes even during the dry season and summer time. Hence, the possibility of having more breeding grounds than the usual is high and very likely. And we all know what could happen next: the inevitable increase of dengue cases.

We can beat and outsmart dengue. But our success will largely depend on the willingness of our people to help and cooperate with the campaign. The community needs to actively participate in the search and destruction of unnecessary containers where these killer mosquitoes breed. We will win this battle if we will fight this together.
