Bill seeks to teach dengue prevention to students

Wednesday, July 13, 2011
AS BATANES province deals with a dengue outbreak, a legislator representing Manila has filed a measure that will teach students prevention and treatment of diseases like dengue, malaria and AH1N1.
Manila Representative Carlo Lopez, author of House Bill 4544, said the students, being one of the most vulnerable sectors that can catch the dreaded disease, should learn how to prevent and treat such illnesses.
“The students can also help in the government health campaign against dengue, foot and mouth disease, AH1N1, malaria, scarlet fever, and others. The students can share with other people in their communities what they learn in schools,” Lopez said.
During the weekend, Sabtang town in Batanes province was placed under a state of calamity after at least 60 residents have been stricken with dengue over the past two weeks.
Under the proposed legislation, private and public schools are mandated to include in their curriculum a subject on the prevention and control of such diseases.
The measure also requires schools to integrate subjects on disease prevention and control in their intermediate and secondary curricula. The subjects will also be taught in the non-formal, informal and indigenous learning systems in many parts of the country.
“The best way to prevent sickness is for us to be educated on how to avoid them. Safety measures must be taken twenty four hours a day to protect the people against life-threatening mosquito bites and other diseases,” Lopez said.
According to the lawmaker, among the high risk major infectious diseases in the country are food or waterborne diseases such as bacterial diarrhea, hepatitis A, and typhoid fever. Vector-borne diseases include dengue fever, malaria and Japanese encephalitis and water contact disease called leptospirosis.
“Many of the diseases that we contract in life can be avoided if we are adequately educated on how to prevent them and protect ourselves from the causes of these diseases,” Lopez stressed.
The Department of Education (DepEd), in coordination with the Department of Health (DOH), shall promulgate the rules and regulations for the implementation of the proposed act once the measure is approved. (Kathrina Alvarez/Sunnex)
