00:00Chairman of the Pinal Debe Regional Corporation is calling on the Ministry of Health to collect data from the various regional
00:06corporation counsellors and private doctors when tallying the number of dengue cases in the country.
00:12Chairman Gautam Maharaj says a proper response will not take place if the true number of infected people is not known.
00:23The part of the plan should include taking the data from the ground.
00:28I have made the point that the counsellors have a strong interface with the people and we should use that as a data input stream
00:35in a surveillance mechanism. Currently, it is only true the public health
00:40institutions and we are saying that a lot of data is being inadvertently missed and what is the consequence of that?
00:46It means that the treatment plan, the gravitas of the situation, the seriousness of it may be missed also.
00:54Speaking with the TV6 News at the unveiling of a wall of inspiration in Laramie on African Emancipation Day,
01:00the chairman of the PDRC says the grass-cutting program being rolled out by the Ministry of Local Government is a good thing.
01:09However, he says source reduction remains just only part of the fight against dengue, which has already claimed five lives.
01:17It is still absent an integrated insect vector management plan, which should constitute the training required for the people to do the chemical application,
01:27the methodology, the exposure limits, all of that, in addition to the source reduction, should constitute that plan.
