It seems that the efforts of East Jakarta government to combat dengue fever have not run optimally. The sluggish outcome is clearly indicated by the absence of urban village categorized as green zone, or the area free from dengue fever.
East Jakarta Health Agency reveals that during this year there have been 4,622 dengue fever cases recorded, with none of the total 65 urban villages in the municipality declared as green zone; while the red zone covers 32 urban villages and yellow zone includes the rest of 33 urban villages.
Some of the red zone areas are Bambuapus, Ceger, Batuampar, Kampungmelayu, and Kayumanis urban villages; and the yellow ones are Cililitan, Pisanganbaru, Cibubur, Cipinangmelayu, and Cakungbarat urban villages.
The highest number of dengue fever cases is recorded to take place in Durensawit sub-district (892 cases), followed by Cakung sub-district 763 cases (4 fatalities), Jatinegara 480 cases, Pulogadung 450 cases, Kramatjati 431 cases, Cipayung 384 cases, Matraman 354 cases, Ciracas 302 cases, Makasar 300 cases, and Pasarrebo sub-district with 266 cases.
The acting head of East Jakarta Health Agency Ariani Murti explains, to succeed in combating the dengue fever, the government really hopes for public participation, particularly from East Jakarta residents, in the implementation of mosquito-nest eradication program (PSN) on Fridays.
?We conduct PSN routinely, and we admit that it has yet to be able to reduce the number of dengue fever cases. Therefore, I hope the program not to be only undertaken by the officers, but the residents should also take part,? said Ariani Murti, Tuesday (6/22), adding that in order to obtain maximum results, PSN must become a life style for residents.
