This morning our team members from Ipoh City Watch (ICW) participated in a dengue prevention campaign together with the Health Ministry Dept of Perak. We focused on the 500 houses in Puncak Jelapang Maju starting from 7.30am going from house to house to personally counselled residents.
The group comprised of Matron Foong, Pandian Sarangabanly,Tina Leong, Mdm Jeya, Rajan, Thinakaran Sarangabanly, Hanip, Sundra Lingam, Giri, and Hairul was divided into two. By 10.45am we have managed to covered the 500 houses.
Apart from giving counseling we also did observation and took note on the clealiness as well as potential breeding ground for aedes mosquitoes. We managed to speak to the 4 familiy members of who have undergone treatment for dengue. It was a very fulfilling experience for all of us.
Next week we will participate in a gotong royong in KRT Jelapang and the followinhgg week we are going to visit Taman Harmony in Buntong to carry out similar campaign while on our Walk About activity. Thanks to all our ICW members for their participation.
