Via Sun Star :
" EVEN with the massive information campaign of the City Government, cases of dengue in Cagayan de Oro continue to increase.
Dr. Jerry Calingasan, City Health Officer-designate, said from January to June this year, at least five persons already died of dengue while more than 500 have been confined at different hospitals in the city.
Calingasan said the figure is a far cry from the 300 cases recorded in the same period last year.
“If we include those cases from Misamis Oriental, there would be more than a thousand dengue cases as of last month. Our statistics are so high because patients from other towns were admitted at hospitals in the city,” Calingasan said.
But even with the increasing number of dengue cases, Calingasan said there is nothing to be alarmed, calling it as “a normal problem” due to the existence of “mosquito dwellings” in the community."
