Medical staff from Ung Hoa District Health Center are advising and guiding people on how to prevent diseases after flooding in Hong Quang commune, Ung Hoa district.

Over the past week, the Hanoi CDC has coordinated with relevant units to monitor, investigate, and handle outbreaks in areas with confirmed cases and clusters of infection. Simultaneously, units have ensured environmental sanitation and disease prevention in flood-affected areas in Nam Tu Liem, Soc Son, Ba Dinh, Dan Phuong, Thuong Tin, Me Linh, Tay Ho, Hoan Kiem, and Thanh Tri districts.

According to the Hanoi CDC, the peak season for dengue fever in Hanoi (September to November) has begun. The complex and unpredictable weather conditions, combined with heavy rainfall, create favorable conditions for the breeding of mosquitoes that transmit dengue fever.

Monitoring results in several outbreak areas still show high insect indices exceeding risk thresholds, predicting that the number of cases will continue to increase in the coming period.

Next week, the Hanoi CDC will continue monitoring active dengue fever outbreaks in Quat Dong (Thuong Tin), Phung Xa (Thach That), Khuong Dinh (Thanh Xuan), Thuong Cat (Bac Tu Liem), Tan Hoi (Dan Phuong), Nhat Tan (Tay Ho), Hang Bot (Dong Da), My Hung (Thanh Oai), and Hop Dong (Chuong My).

District, county, and town health centers are organizing timely and effective handling of dengue fever cases and outbreaks, especially in areas with many patients; continuing to implement disease prevention and control measures, and ensuring environmental hygiene in high-risk areas and areas affected by flooding.

In addition, the Health Center, in coordination with relevant departments and organizations, will support and guide people in practicing personal hygiene and environmental and household hygiene immediately after the floodwaters recede (cleaning the environment as soon as the water recedes); and organize the spraying of chemicals to kill disease-carrying insects in high-risk areas after environmental sanitation has been carried out.

In addition, relevant units are closely monitoring and detecting early cases and outbreaks of infectious diseases occurring during and after floods in order to handle them promptly, such as dengue fever, diarrhea, conjunctivitis, influenza, cholera, typhoid fever, etc.

In addition, units are strengthening communication efforts, providing timely and comprehensive information on the disease situation and measures to prevent certain diseases such as dengue fever, whooping cough, measles, hand, foot and mouth disease, etc. For diseases with vaccines, people are advised to proactively get vaccinated fully and on schedule according to the guidelines of the health sector.
