Dengue outbreak is worrying Marshall Islands big because the number of the affected cases has not just increased by one or two but by ten folds. Yes, citing such a big growth in the number of cases of dengue fever i. e. from 60 to nearly 600. In just two weeks, the Republic of the Marshall Islands (RMI) Cabinet has declared a State of Emergency in the small Pacific Island nation.
In order to help ease the situation, the region is fortunately receiving outside assistance from its international partners. One similar help has been recently done by the Taiwan Health Center on Wednesday on behalf of the Government of the Republic of China (Taiwan), which donated medical supplies to help the RMI fight and get control of the rising Dengue Fever situation in the region.
On the other hand, World Health Organization's Western Pacific Office is also providing RMI with diagnostic kits and mosquito nets to lower risks from mosquitoes.
The U. S. is undoubtedly Marshall's closest ally and the country is providing efficient assistance to the region under the Compact of Free Association. Moreover, the U. S. has sent its best health teams from different agencies to help RMI stop the spread of the disease and save more number of lives against the dangerous and deadly spread.
The Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) authorities are also not lacking behind anywhere because the department is conducting house-to-house mosquito inspections throughout Majuro Atoll to make sure that the houses are set free from the risks of developing any mosquito disease spread.
Another CDC team is facilitating the region with doctors and entomologists to help hospitals in Majuro with assessment and treatment.
According to the reports of Mr. Giff Johnson of the Marshall Islands Journal, the U. S. Navy team has also arrived in Majuro this week to kill mosquitoes with pesticides.
