(Barbados Nation) The prevalence of dengue fever in Barbados is at a critical level, Minister of Health Donville Inniss disclosed on Monday.
The minister said Government and the Ministry of Health couldn’t win the war on their own – all Barbadians had to get on board when it came to protecting the population from the deadly aedes aegypti mosquito.
Inniss said that it was time Barbadians took the threat of dengue more seriously, and started acting more responsibly by not dumping illegally and indiscriminately, thereby creating environments where the mosquito could breed.
The minister was speaking after the hospital received a donation of a television from local retail store Shop Smart.
