Official reports cited the rising number of dengue cases from 10,352 with 19 deaths recorded from January to June, 2012 to 10,401 cases with 20 deaths in the same period, this year.
According to Health Minister Datuk Seri Dr S Subramaniam, the website was developed using remote sensing technology and GIS, so that users can easily locate high-risk areas for dengue outbreaks. By doing so, the Minister says local authorities and the general public can mobilise community efforts to come up with early intervention measures.
“The website will be updated every week. The government hopes this access to information for the public will make the fight against the dengue menace more effective,” the Minister added.
