Health authorities in Region Six are grappling with a worrying surge in dengue cases, with 332 infections reported in April alone. The outbreak has already claimed the lives of two individuals, including a six-year-old child.

Regional Chairman David Armogan revealed during the Regional Democratic Council in Region Six monthly statutory meeting that the child, one of four siblings who tested positive for dengue, was transferred to the Georgetown Public Hospital Corporation (GPHC) but sadly succumbed to the virus. Details on the second death have not yet been released.

The Regional Health Authority has intensified its vector control efforts, including widespread fogging and spraying in communities to combat the spread of the Aedes aegypti mosquito, which transmits the virus.

Regional Health Officer Dr. Vineshri Khirodhar is urging parents to take immediate action if children begin to show symptoms such as high fever, severe headaches, or joint pain. “When these symptoms appear, do not hesitate—rush them to the hospital,” Dr. Khirodhar stressed.

Residents are also being encouraged to eliminate stagnant water and other mosquito breeding sites in and around their homes as part of the ongoing public health response.
