Health Minister Says Media Not Highlighted When Spreading Of Dengue Decreased In The Country

Health Minister Dr.Rajitha Senaratne has stated during
 a launching ceremony of a special Dengue control programme in pannipitiya  that the media only highlighted when the Dengue is spreading rapidly in the country not when the number of Dengue patients and Dengue deaths reported are being decreased  according to the Health Ministry.

He has also stated that although the number of Dengue patients reported in the country has been now reduced by 50%  should keep the enviornment around us clean through removing Dengue mosquito breeding places continuously.

According to the Epidemelogists of the country, the problem faced by the country when controlling the spreading of Dengue is failure of changing attitudes of the people while  adapting Dengue control methods.Therefore if there are reports that the spreading of Dengue is on the decrease people might stop adapting Dengue control methods like destroying Dengue mosquito breeding places and pay attention on Dengue fever symptoms they have said.

So Minister has expressed a totally different thought on the situation.One should not forget that showers are due to be experienced  during this week in several districts of  the country which might cause the spreading of Dengue again.
