PALANGKA RAYA - Legislator of Palangka Raya City, Central Kalimantan Ruselita asked the local Health Service to aggressively anticipate the outbreak of dengue hemorrhagic fever (DHF) attacks during the rainy season. "Indeed, in the past few days, our city has always had heavy rain, so do not let the humid condition result in the emergence of a dengue outbreak within the scope of residential areas that can endanger public health," said Ruselita in Palangka Raya, Antara, Tuesday, February 21. He said the Palangka Raya City Health Office as a partner of Commission C in the local DPRD continues to remind all health workers to pay attention to this. The people of Palangka Raya are also not restless due to the emergence of diseases that can endanger human life if they become victims of the bite of the Aedes aegypti mosquito. "It is better to anticipate it first, than we will become victims later. Therefore, apart from the community, officers from the puskesmas and the Health Office in the local area must actively conduct socialization and so on," said the heroine at the Palangka Raya City DPRD. Head of the Technical Implementation Unit (UPT) of the Jekan Raya Hariyadi Health Center some time ago said local health center officers in addition to socializing the dangers of dengue fever also provided counseling, such as the importance of the 3M movement (Directing, Closing, and Fertilizing). "One of them is always cleaning the home environment from puddles of water that settle due to rain and so on. Because this could be the development of dengue mosquitoes," he said. He revealed that garbage in residential areas must be buried so that it does not become a target where mosquito nests develop, because most dengue mosquitoes develop from puddles of water in bottles and other water reservoirs. People in office complexes, he said, are also required to do the same thing so that mosquitoes do not appear and endanger residents of houses and local residents. "The DHF cannot breed in cloudy water, but he can only breed in clear water. Therefore, if there is garbage and so on, it would be better to bury it and close a lot and drain the water tub of people's homes if it is not used for a long time," said Hariyadi.
