Dengue: Health Minister condems officials

Health Minister Maithreepala Sirisena on Friday said that Zonal Education officials and principals in public schools should be severely dealt with for not motivating schoolchildren to help the Government's on-going dengue eradication program. The Health Minister told the Sunday Observer that although 4.3 million schoolchildren in the country could play a vital role to destroy mosquito breeding grounds, only a small percentage take part in such programs.

He said that last Friday's massive dengue eradication program launched in Colombo and suburban areas with the participation of a number of schoolchildren and Army personnel was very successful.

"Such programs must be launched even in other districts," he said.

Health Department's latest statistics indicate 22,159 dengue cases were reported from various parts of the country from January 01 to July 23 this year and 164 persons, including children lost their lives during the same period.
