The director of the health center in Shujairah, Dr. Ahmed Bardini, says that they are facing difficulty in receiving cases of malaria due to the density of the population, as well as the spread of disease-causing insects.
He adds, that the piles of garbage scattered inside residential neighborhoods, randomly, with the lack of means to control mosquitoes, contributed to the increase in the number of disease cases.
He explained that many citizens are infected with malaria more than four times in this chapter, as a result of the lack of means to control mosquitoes and the lack of health awareness of citizens in ways to reduce it.
Bardini appealed to the local authority and the district health office and the governorate for rapid intervention to conduct treatments for misting spray and conduct awareness sessions to eliminate the malaria pathogen.
