GenSan CHO conducts an awareness in response to Dengue outbreak

On March 22, 2023, the City Health Office (CHO) of General Santos City conducted an AntiDengue awareness, “Oplan Humol” in Purok Cahilsot, Calumpang. The purpose of this was to educate the community and prevent the spread of Dengue fever. The campaign was led by Analiza A. Estocapio, Sanitation Inspector II of the City Health Office.

Calumpang has the highest number of Dengue cases in the city with a total of 74, and the campaign aimed to provide chemicals that could help kill mosquitoes. Estocapio explained that the campaign’s technique involves soaking curtains, pillowcases, and other mosquito-prone objects in water mixed with the said chemicals, which are effective for six months.

CHO aims to reduce the number of Dengue cases in Calumpang and the entire city. As part of the effort, the CHO has made free NS1 tests available citywide to further combat the Dengue outbreak.
