💧 WASH: Para sa Limpyo ug Himsog nga Don Carlos! 💙🌿

Ang Water, Sanitation and Hygiene (WASH) importante sa pagpanalipod sa atong pamilya ug komunidad batok sa mga sakit.

🚰 Limpyo nga Tubig – Gamita sa pag - inom and luwas nga tubig.
🚽 Maayong Sanitasyon – Hupti nga limpyo ang kasilyas ug palibot.
🧼 Husto nga Hygiene – Kanunay nga manghugas sa kamot gamit ang sabon ug tubig.

💙 Atong buhaton ang WASH, para sa mas limpyo, himsog, ug luwas nga Don Carlos!

🦟 DILI MISTING LANG ANG SOLUSYON SA DENGUE!

Ang misting/fogging usa lamang sa mga interventions aron mapakunhod ang adult mosquitoes sa identified hotspot areas. Dili niini mapatay ang itlog, larvae, ug pupa, mao nga kung naa gihapoy mga breeding sites, magpadayon gihapon ang pagdaghan sa lamok.
💡 Ang pinaka-epektibong paagi sa pagpugong sa dengue mao ang aktibong partisipasyon sa matag pamilya ug sa tibuok komunidad.
✅ Praktisa ang 5S Kontra Dengue:
• Search and Destroy mosquito breeding sites.
• Self-protection measures.
• Seek early consultation kung adunay hilanat o sintomas.
• Support Fogging/misting kung gi-rekomenda sa health authorities.
• Sustain hydration ug sundon ang tambag sa health workers.
Hinumdumi: Ang dengue prevention dili trabaho sa health workers o barangay officials lamang. Responsibilidad kini natong tanan.
Walay breeding sites, walay lamok. Walay lamok, walay dengue.
