PREVENTION CAN BE

"THIS PAGE EXPLAINS THE PRECAUTIONS/SUGGESTIONS TO PROTECT ONESELF AND COMMUNITY FROM DENGUE FEVER."

ERADICATE MOSQUITOES TO ERADICATE DENGUE FEVER.

SAVE DENGUE FEVER PATIENTS FROM MOSQUITOES DURING FEVER AND TWO DAYS AFTER THAT.

I HIGHLY APPRECIATE THE EFFORTS MADE BY CHIEF MINISTER OF PUNJAB AND HIS COLLEAGUES FOR THEIR UNTIRING HARD WORK AND PROVIDING EVERY POSSIBLE FINANCIAL AND HUMAN RESOURCES FOR PREVENTION, TREATMENT AND ERADICATION OF DENGUE FEVER FROM PUNJAB. SIMILAR EFFORTS ARE ALSO REQUIRED IN OTHER PROVINCES OF PAKISTAN WHERE THE DISEASE IS NOT SO WIDESPREAD AS YET.

1. PERSONAL PROTECTION

BY WEARING FULL SLEEVE CLOTHES AND SOCKS DURING THE DAY
BY USING MOSQUITO REPELLENT CREAM OR LOTION ON EXPOSED PARTS TO PREVENT MOSQUITO BITE
USING MOSQUITO NETS AT NIGHT FOR PEOPLE WHO SLEEP ON ROOFS OF THEIR HOUSES OR OUT DOORS.

2. COMMUNITY PROTECTION.

EVERY SUSPECTED OR CONFIRMED PATIENT OF DENGUE FEVER MUST USE FULL SLEEVE CLOTHES AND MOSQUITO REPELLENT AT EXPOSED PARTS OF BODY OR REMAIN IN MOSQUITO FREE ENVIRONMENT AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE, FROM START OF SYMPTOMS TO AT LEAST TWO DAYS AFTER BEING AFEBRILE, SO THAT PATIENT CAN NOT ACT AS RESERVOIR FOR FURTHER SPREAD.

THIS WILL HELP

1. TO REDUCE FURTHER SPREAD FROM THE PATIENT .

2.TO DECREASE UNNECESSARY WORK LOAD IN PUBLIC HOSPITALS

EFFORTS ON THE BEHALF OF GOVT. WILL NOT BE SUCCESSFUL WITHOUT PUBLIC PARTICIPATION.

AS AEDES AGYPTI MOST COMMON VECTOR IN THE SPREAD OF DENGUE FEVER IS FOUND INDOORS, SO MAKING PUBLIC AWARE OF THIS FACT IS IMPORTANT. LOCAL COUNCILLORS AND NGO’S SHOULD BE STRESSED TO MAKE SURE THAT PEOPLE IN THEIR AREA ARE EDUCATED OF THE FACT THAT WE CAN SAVE OUR DEARS, NEARS AND NEXT GENERATIONS FROM DENGUE FEVER BY ENSURING ANTI MOSQUITE SPRAY ONCE A WEEK EVERY WEEK IN THE HOUSES AND WORKPLACES.

KEEP HOUSES, KITCHENS, WASH ROOMS, PARKING AREAS AND LAWNS CLEAN AND DRY AS MUCH AS THEY CAN BE.

WASH YOUR USED KITCHEN WARE AS SOON AS POSSIBLE DO NOT LET THEM REMAIN UNCLEANED AND WET.

PEOPLE WORKING AT TYRE SHOP,MOTOR GARAGE,VECHILE WASHING AREAS SHOULD BE APPROACHED TO EDUCATE THEM ABOUT THEIR RESPONSIBILITIES REGARDING MOQUITO CONTROL AND ITS BENEFITS.

ROOM COOLERS SHOULD BE PROPERLY DRIED AT THE END OF SEASON.

KEEP WASH ROOM BUCKETS DRY AND UP SIDE DOWN UNTILL NOT IN USE.

THIS WILL HELP GOVT.TO COVER OUT DOOR AREAS AND KACHI ABADES WHERE NON AFFORDING COMMUNITY LIVES.

PEOPLE LIVING IN LARGE HOUSES SHOULD NOT ONLY SPRAY THEIR HOUSES AND LAWNS BUT SERVANT RESIDENCES AS WELL.

RESPONSIBILITY OF GOVT. SHOULD BE TO ENSURE ABUNDANT SUPPLY OF EFFECTIVE CHEMICAL AT CONTROLLED RATES.ANY BOBY FOUND OF SUPPLYING INEFFECTIVE SPRAYS BE PUNISHED.

TYRE SHOPS SHOULD BE PROPERLY MANAGED.
