A patient with dengue hemorrhagic fever is treated at the Doris Sylvanus Regional General Hospital in Palangkaraya city, Central Kalimantan. The number of dengue fever patients in Central Kalimantan, mostly children, has gradually dropped, although it is still high.

JAKARTA, KOMPAS – Dengue fever will remain a threat until the rainy season ends. The high number of cases has been caused by climate change and the ineffective eradication of mosquito habitats.

Cases of dengue hemorrhagic fever (DHF) have surged in several regions in January-February, with some regions declaring extraordinary occurrence status for the disease. Although the DHF outbreak recurs every year, the efforts to prevent it remain weak.
