As part of its ongoing efforts to raise awareness and educate the public about the dangers of vector-borne diseases, particularly dengue fever, the Ministry of Health, Wellness, and Elderly Affairs recently held a Vector Awareness Roadshow in Micoud. This initiative led by the Environmental Health Department, represents a proactive key component of the Ministry's strategy to engage communities in the fight against dengue, with a special focus on reducing the spread of the Aedes aegypti mosquito, the primary carrier of the virus.
The Roadshow featured demonstrations of preventative breeding methods, the distribution of effective insect repellents and larvicide, and discussions on how communities can contribute to reducing mosquito breeding grounds.
