Pohuwato, InfoPublik – At the implementation of Perti Saka Bakti Husada III Krida Disease Control carried out material deepening activities by conducting counseling on zoonotic diseases such as rabies, dengue fever, malaria and non-communicable diseases, Sunday (16/7/2023) at the Duhiadaa campground, Pohuwato Regency.
Counseling was carried out by Iswan Ahmad as Head of the Disease Prevention and Control Working Team (P2) and Mohamad Ramdhan Ismail, executor of the Infectious Disease Prevention and Control (P2PM) program.
Iswan explained various kinds of non-communicable diseases which are always the main cause of death both globally and nationally.
“So this non-communicable disease is the number one killer in the world, namely heart disease, stroke and cancer,” said Iswan.
Iswan revealed, PTM does not only attack the age of 45 and over but nowadays it even attacks young people.
“There are many causes, including an unhealthy lifestyle, always consuming fast food or junk food. This is a risk factor besides a lack of physical activity,” he said.
Apart from providing PTM material, material related to rabies, malaria and DHF was also given by Mohamad Ramdhan Ismail.
“Currently we are facing an extraordinary incident of rabies so this must be of particular concern, including pets such as dogs and cats must be vaccinated and must be handled according to initial management, namely washing the bite wound with running water and detergent,” said Alan.
In addition, Alan explained that currently Pohuwato Regency has met the requirements for a malaria outbreak. Therefore, camp participants are expected to make efforts to prevent transmission.
“What we can do is sleep using mosquito nets, using mosquito repellents, both lotions and sprays,” he concluded. (mcgorontaloprov/md/imran/nancy)
