JUNE 29 — As the number of dengue cases continues to rise across Malaysia, understanding the causes, impact and implementing effective solutions is very important.
Several causes contribute to the alarming increase in dengue cases in Malaysia. One of the primary causes is the presence of the Aedes mosquito, which thrives in urban areas and lays eggs in stagnant water. Rapid urbanisation, population growth, inadequate waste management, and improper water storage provide breeding grounds for these mosquitoes, facilitating the transmission of the dengue virus. — Picture by Firdaus Latif
The cost of hospitalisation, diagnostic tests, medications, and follow-up care can be a substantial amount, especially among lower-income populations. Increased expenditures spent on managing dengue outbreaks will no doubt strain healthcare budgets, diverting resources from other essential health services.
