LEBAK - The Lebak Regency Health Office (Dinkes), Banten, recorded 1,030 cases of Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever (DBD) in the period from January to November 2025, with two DBD patients dying.
Head of the Eradication and Prevention of Communicable Diseases Section of the Lebak Regency Health Office, Rohmat, asked the public to be alert to the spread of DBD as the rainfall was quite high in the last few days, which triggered puddles where the Aedes aegypti mosquito breed.
For this reason, he said, the public is asked to activate the Elimination of Mosquito Nests (PSN) activities by burying, storing, and covering (3M) old items and giving Abate in the bathtub.
In addition, the public is urged to optimize gotong royong activities to maintain environmental cleanliness and to cultivate Healthy and Clean Living Behavior (PHBS).
"We ask the public to play an active role in doing PSN plus 3M and maintaining environmental cleanliness to kill the Aedes aegypti mosquito larvae," said Rohmat, quoted by Antara, Thursday, December 18.
According to him, the DBD sufferers are spread across 43 health centers and only the Cirinten Health Center has zero cases. The DBD cases, he said, were spread across Rangkasbitung Health Center with 125 people, Malingping Health Center with 99 people, Maja Health Center with 60 people, and Kalanganyar Health Center with 56 people.
Head of the Rangkasbitung Puskesmas, Yayang Citra Gumilar, said that his party continued to carry out socialization activities to provide education and prevention of the spread of infectious diseases due to mosquito bites, especially when rainfall increases.
"We appeal to the public to carry out environmental cleanliness with PSN and the 3 M movement for DBD prevention," he said.
