நாடளாவிய ரீதியில் டெங்கு ஒழிப்பு வாரம் நாளை ஆரம்பம் – 74 சுகாதாரப் பிரிவுகளில் விசேட நடவடிக்கை!

Daily Mirror and Newswire report that a special National Dengue Prevention Week began on November 9. Newswire says the programme is scheduled to run until November 14 and targets 74 Medical Officer of Health divisions across 13 districts identified as dengue-risk areas.

Newswire reports that the Ministry of Health established a Dengue Mosquito Control Operations Office on November 9 under its Disaster Preparedness and Response Division. The ministry said the centre is intended to coordinate dengue prevention work and help ensure activities are carried out efficiently; the week’s operations are to be coordinated through it.

Newswire says the initiative comes amid concern about changing weather, growing mosquito populations and dengue cases, which it links to an increased risk of transmission. Daily Mirror also describes the targeted divisions as facing increased outbreak risk.

Newswire reports that Health Minister Nalinda Jayatissa chaired a meeting with officials on November 9 to review campaign measures and strengthen coordination among agencies. Participants included officials from the Health Ministry, National Dengue Control Unit, Clean Sri Lanka Secretariat, Sri Lanka Police, the Tri-Forces and voluntary organisations.
