Pwedeng mahawa ng dengue sa pamamagitan ng sex-solon
NAGBABALA si Iloilo Rep. Janet Garin na lalong kumalat ang dengue sa bansa matapos lumabas ang unang kaso ng sexual transmission ng naturang sakit.
“The recorded case of dengue virus acquisition through sexual contact is new and poses an insurmountable danger in the public health sector,” ani Garin. “I challenge our Department of Health to be more proactive in combating dengue.”
Naitala sa Madrid ang unang kaso ng sexually transmitted dengue virus. Ayon sa European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control ito ang “first sexual transmission of the dengue virus among men who have sex with men.”
“Let us listen and learn from what actual experts have to say on the rising and new modalities of dengue virus. Only then are we assured of protecting our children and safeguarding the very foundations of our health institutions for a healthier Philippines.”
Nanawagan din si Garin na totohanin ng DoH ang sinabi nito na kukuha ng gamot laban sa dengue mula sa kalaban ng Dengvaxia.
“Now that Takeda is out, I call on the DOH to stand true to their promise of making available what is necessary. If they curtail its availability to the poor by stopping the government program, at least make it available to those who can afford so that sources of infection can be reduced.”
Ang Pilipinas pito sa 9 na ay dengue ay hindi alam na nagkaroon o mayroon silang ganitong sakit dahil walang lumabas na sintomas.
“The continued and unjust blocking of the current available vaccine even to the private sector despite it being listed in the essential medicines list is only delaying health services which translates to deaths and serious morbidities.”
