Public Health intensifies dengue fumigation campaigns in La Romana
The Provincial Health Directorate (DPS) of La Romana, led by Dr. Carmen Jiménez, has launched an intensive fumigation cycle in various strategic points of the province. These actions are part of a preventive plan designed to curb the spread of the Aedes aegypti mosquito, the main vector responsible for the transmission of dengue in the region.
During the most recent interventions, technical brigades were deployed in various sectors of La Romana West, as well as at the facilities of the National Emergency and Security Attention System 9-1-1 located in the INVI sector. Likewise, the operation extended to the communities of Don Juan and Pica Piedra, belonging to the municipality of Villa Hermosa.
Recommendations for the public
To maximize the impact of these measures, health authorities have issued a series of fundamental recommendations for residents:
- Keep yards and lots free of weeds and waste.
- Eliminate or tightly cover containers that may accumulate stagnant water.
- Facilitate access for Public Health brigades during operations in the sectors.
- Actively collaborate with household hygiene measures to eradicate mosquito breeding sites.
Through these actions, the health agency reaffirms its commitment to maintaining constant monitoring in the most vulnerable sectors, urging the population to remain alert and participate in maintaining spaces free of breeding sites, thus ensuring a healthier community protected against vector-borne diseases.
Commitment to prevention
Dr. Jiménez highlighted that these efforts are part of a constant strategy that seeks to safeguard the well-being of citizens. The official emphasized that, while fumigation is a vital tool, the success of this fight against dengue lies largely in citizen commitment.
Dengue prevention does not depend solely on fumigation campaigns, but also on the active participation of families to prevent mosquito breeding and keep environments free of potential breeding sites.
