Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever is an endemic disease caused by mosquitos, such as Aedes Aegepty. These characteristics are colored striped and usually live in water reservoirs. Number of patients with DHF always increase gradually, especially in the rainy season and in the tropical and sub-tropical country like Indonesia. The data from WHO shows that Asia ranked first in the number of dengue fever patients. It means, the spread of this disease needs more attention. Indonesia in 2014 there were 71.668 people with DHF and 641 of them died. Whereas in 2016, patients DHF more in children aged 5 until 14 years old. Approximately 43,44 % of patients are at this age. The symptoms usually fever about 2 to 7 days and raised red spots on the skin. As illustrated in our poster, there are three steps to prevent the distribution of Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever. The first step is draining the bathroom regularly. Drain the bathroom will help you decrease the amount of the wiggler in the bathub, because Aedes Aegepty lives in the clean area, so we need to do it regularly. Second, close the water storage to prevent the mosquitos reproducing. The last one is Bury the unused goods. By eliminating the trash such as plastic, can, bottle, and another trash which is used for mosquitos breeding, we can prevent the Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever spreading. Our poster was created to make people realize that small things could change a big thing, that prevention is better and a lot cheaper than the treatment. Our education targets are housewives and maids, because they are the arranger of the house. By educating the housewives and maids we can help a family, including the father, the childs and the other householder inside. By creating this poster, we hope that people aware about this“ simple but dangerous” disease more and they know what to do to prevent the spreading of this disease.
