Jumantik is deployed on 3 of the most affected dengue points in West Jakarta.

JAKARTA, KOMPAS.com – The head of the West Jakarta health office, Weningtyas, said that there were still three cases of dengue hemorrhagic fever (dengue fever) highest in the region as of November 28, 2018. Among these were Cengkareng, Kalideres and Grogol Petamburan.

"But Grogol Petamburan has been down since June," Weningtyas told Kembangan, West Jakarta, Thursday (29.11.2018).

According to him, the person responsible for the eradication of mosquito nests (NSP) in his area was good, but he felt that public awareness was still lacking.

There should be no water tank where mosquitoes nest. Because mosquito eggs in a pool or puddle will appear less easily for less than five days.

"In this case, there is still a lot of vacant land, well, it is not inhabited, there are a lot of water containers and there are mosquito larvae." Di Kalideres, c & # 39; It's a lot, it's very large, "he explained.

In order to avoid the existence of other dengue cases, Weningtyas said that his side was trying to form a jumantik (surveillance) for the household. Jumantik is responsible for the eradication of mosquitoes like 3M (closure, drainage and burial).

"First, a house is a jumantik or self Jumantik or Jumantik Mandiri. So each house must have a responsible as jumantik, "he said.

Secondly, the role of jumantik is not only provided by a person from a household, but by the participation of the people who surround him. Because he considered that a number of West Jakarta residents had not played an active role in eradicating mosquito larvae responsible for dengue hemorrhagic fever, so the others parties who took part were necessary.

"Well, it's a local security officer, a complex security officer if there is absolutely no PPSU (infrastructure officer and general council) likely to become a twin," he said.

In addition, he called on the sub-district head, Lurah, RT or RW to take a persuasive approach to the community to protect his environment. In particular, avoid the presence of puddles or reservoirs that can become a nest of mosquitoes and cause dengue fever.
