Zamboanga
city: Dengue
cases in the city dramatically reduced last month, the City Health noted the
decrease to the media.
City Health Officer Dr.
Rodelin Agbulos said that in October last year, there were 77 cases recorded but
for last month there were only 61 cases, a decline of 16 cases.
Agbulos said the drop
off in dengue cases was brought about by continuous clean-up drives in the
community that resulted to the destruction of the dengue-carrying mosquitoes.
The health officer
noted that from January until October this year, they have recorded a slight shrink
in the number of dengue cases by seven from 2,559 cases from 2,552 compared to
the same period in 2013.
