Dengue cases up by 35 percent in HCMC
Published: 10/12/2008 05:00
Ho Chi Minh City has so far this year recorded nearly 14,000 cases of dengue fever or a 35 percent year-on-year increase, a senior city health official has said. | |||||||
Dr. Nguyen Dac Tho, deputy director of the city’s Preventive Health Center was addressing a meeting on preventing and fighting epidemics held Wednesday. He said while the city has managed to control somewhat the spread of the mosquito-borne fever, the situation remained complicated. Districts 6, 8, 10, 11, Tan Binh and Tan Phu are still the worst-hit areas. Tho also cautioned district health agencies against ignoring malaria as a threat, noting a patient had recently died because it was discovered too late. Reported by Thanh Tung |
