The spread of dengue fever in the villages needed preventive
actions. The health authority, along with local administration,
took joint initiatives to increase awareness of dengue fever and
its signs and symptoms, and early referral of severe cases to
hospital was conducted. Vector-control measures were carried
out, especially reduction of breeding sources by destroying
unnecessary and discarded water containers. The communities
were also taught about personal protective measures against
mosquito bites. It is suggested that regular training of health
workers, social workers (ICDS workers), panchayat workers,
local nongovernment organization workers and other
departments, on dengue and other vector-borne diseases, will
reduce the incidence of outbreaks in the future.
