DAVAO CITY (MindaNews/29 July) – Alarmed by the year-round threat of dengue, the head of the City Council Committee on Health is proposing to enact an ordinance aimed at reducing the number of cases in the coming years.
Councilor Bernard Al-ag believes that the creation of Dengue Prevention Ordinance will address the year-round threat of the life-threatening disease which is still at a critical level in this city.
“For a problem that is present all year round, we also need an all year round solution and all year round campaign to reduce the number of cases in the coming years,” said Al-ag in his privilege speech Tuesday during the council’s fourth regular session.
The City Council carried the motion of Al-ag, a doctor, and referred it to the Committee on Health.[]/a> with |||
