The Government Targets Decrease in Dengue Fever Cases and Zero Deaths by 2030.

Dream - Director General of Disease Prevention and Control at the Ministry of Health, Dr. Maxi Rein Rondonuwu, stated that the death rate due to Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever (DHF) is still at 20-50 cases per 100,000.

"Death from dengue fever is still relatively high"

From the Kemenkes data, there were 143,000 cases of DBD that continued to increase throughout 2022, with 39% of them from the productive age group ranging from 15-44 years old.

"The problem of dengue fever is a long-standing issue in Indonesia, and up to this day, the incidence rate of dengue fever still revolves around 20-50 cases per 100,000 people. Now, we aim for a target of 10 cases per 100,000 people,"

tutur dr. Maxi in the press conference event 'DBD prevention campaign with the Ministry of Health and PT Takeda', Jakarta, Wednesday, September 27, 2023.

"Zero Deaths 2030"

According to him, the Ministry of Health will urge the community to collaborate in carrying out the 3M Plus Movement. He also wants to reduce the number of dengue fever cases to 10 per 10,000 people and achieve zero deaths by 2030.

"Tika Bisono, as an Observer of Dengue, stated that many people underestimate the severity of Dengue Fever, even though this virus has claimed hundreds of lives every year."

Tika Bisono and her family lost their beloved daughter, Janika Ramadhanti Putri Argeswara, due to dengue fever infection. Since then, she has become a WAR AMBASSADOR to fight against the disease through her campaign for years.

DBD is seen with one eye

According to him, the dengue fever (DBD) case is considered trivial by the Indonesian society, unlike Covid-19. Moreover, the number of DBD cases will skyrocket during extreme weather changes like the current situation.

"Seasonal changes will affect the environment and trigger diseases such as dengue fever (DBD) and other diseases like Malaria, which are prevalent in tropical countries,"
tutur dr. Maxi dengan tegas melihat kasus DBD yang terus berkembang. Translation: Dr. Maxi firmly observes the continuously growing cases of dengue fever.

"Serious Disease DBD"

Because the cases of dengue fever are still high, the Ministry of Health collaborates with PT Takeda to overcome the disease through the 3Mplus vaccination campaign. Dr. Sukamto, Chairman of the Adult Immunization Task Force at the Indonesian Association of Internal Medicine Specialists, added that the efficacy of this dengue fever vaccine is already above 70%, both for those who already have antibodies and those who do not have antibodies.

"An efficacy above 70% is already good. For this vaccine, it was observed for 54 months and the efficacy is around 85.9%," he said. The distribution of vaccinations from the Ministry of Health will be carried out periodically. Periodically, every 3 months, priority will be given to areas with the highest cases of dengue fever first."

"\u201cBecause its benefits have been proven, the Indonesian Association of Internal Medicine Specialists (PAPDI) has recommended that dengue fever vaccination also be given to adults up to the age of 45,\u201d he added."
He added. He hopes that the community also has awareness to combat this DBD case.
