Objectives
We conduct this research to raise the awareness of the people, government, and health officer about the danger of climate change in Indonesia and to help improving the current Indonesia DHF prevention program.
Background
World temperature is increasing. As one of tropical country, Indonesia’ s temperature will rise to 27 o-28 o C in 2020-2050. Those temperatures would accelerate the number of infectious diseases, especially on what we concern, the Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever( DHF). Poor sanitation, bad drainage system, and increased precipitation rate are still haunting Indonesia and further harming Indonesia through increase of DHF cases. Fortunately, our health officers have thought brilliant way, called 3M. However, would that alone will suffice? No! We need better way to counter upcoming DHF outbreak.
Method
Through systematical review of selected journals, we tried to found out the best solutions. Using information gathered, we reviewed the current health policy implementation and the needed improvement.
Result
Aedes aegypti and Dengue Virus grow at 27 o C optimally( faster virus incubation time and Aedes aegypti lifecyle time). Despite the fact, Indonesian government still holds the belief in 3M and fogging for dengue prevention. However, the other important factors( bad sanitation and drainage system) which bring flood are not included. We strongly encourage the government and Indonesia people, to fix this condition through our solutions: TERMINATOR( Tilting, Enclosing, Rubbing, Minimalize mosquito through Wolbachia, Trapping or Recycling) and role of AMSA as the Health promotion vehicle for DHF prevention.
Conclusion
DHF cases will increase in 2020-2050 due to optimal growth temperature for Aedes aegypti and Dengue Virus. The outbreak wouldn’ t be prevented by using 3M method only. Therefore, our solution, TERMINATOR and role of AMSA are the trump cards to suppress the DHF cases.
