Islandwide dengue prevention from August - Health Minister
Maithripala Sirisena
Health Minister Maithripala Sirisena has instructed health officials
to undertake islandwide Dengue Prevention Programmes on the first two
Mondays and the last two Saturdays of August. The Health Ministry
Additional Secretary says there is more likelihood of spreading Dengue
in many houses in the Colombo district for which precautions should be
taken by the people.
The Additional Secretary says that the people's cooperation to the
health officials at village level is very poor despite the enthusiasm of
officers at villages.
The Health Ministry will take action to undertake Dengue Prevention
Programme more systematically during August. |
