Keen on increasing dengue cases, the Health Secretariat held a technical meeting on Tuesday (01/03) to develop strategies to combat the Aedes aegypti mosquito. From January 16, SES must prepare risk reports on dengue, on a weekly basis and with a regional focus. There should also be a course on clinical management of dengue cases, aimed at Primary Health Care (PHC).
According to Secretary Areta Bergman, the intention is to provide data support so that municipalities can also define their own coping strategies. “It is a policy contemplated from the territory, where the state provides data to municipal administrators in order to develop combat strategies,” explains Arrieta.
At the meeting, Deputy Director of the Center for State Health Surveillance (Cevs), Marcelo Valandro, highlighted the improvements being made in the Dengue Surveillance Committee, to allow a multifactorial assessment, with environmental, laboratory and genomic data, that helps prepare risk assessments. SES should also develop a publicity campaign to raise awareness about dengue.
