After completing the site clearance work to serve the 2.5 Ring Road Construction Project, all households within the project area in Yen Hoa ward have handed over the site.
This is an important step contributing to accelerating the progress of the city's key transport project.
However, after clearance, this area has appeared many vacant lots, construction materials and locations that are at risk of becoming places for insects and disease-transmitting mosquitoes if not treated promptly.
In order to ensure environmental sanitation and prevent epidemics, in recent days, Yen Hoa Ward Health Station has coordinated with the Investment - Infrastructure Project Management Board of Yen Hoa Ward and related units to deploy chemical spraying to disinfect and kill mosquitoes throughout the cleared area of Ring Road 2.5 passing through the area.
According to Yen Hoa Ward Health Station, disinfection and mosquito control spraying are being implemented to proactively prevent infectious diseases, especially dengue fever, which is a disease that often increases in the summer and rainy season.
In addition, this activity also contributes to limiting the development of mosquitoes, insects and other pathogens. At the same time, it improves the landscape and protects the environment in the area that has just been cleared.
Early environmental treatment also helps ensure health safety for people living around the project area, limiting the risk of diseases arising and spreading in the community.
Yen Hoa Ward Health Station said that disease prevention and control work is only effective when the whole community participates. The unit calls on people to continue to raise awareness of environmental sanitation, collect and treat waste in accordance with regulations.
People also need to regularly check and remove items containing stagnant water, not to let mosquitoes have breeding grounds; and proactively implement disease prevention measures according to the recommendations of the health sector.
