Epidemic |
Solomon Islands |
Since January 2013, approximately 1,970 suspected dengue cases have been reported, resulting in three deaths. More than 1,800 of the cases are in Honiara, the capital of Solomon Islands, while the others are in the provinces of Guadalcanal and Gizo.
It is currently the rainy season in Solomon Islands, increasing the breeding sites of the Aedes mosquito which transmits the disease.
The trend in the bed occupancy rate remains well over 95 per cent. Those with severe dengue requiring blood transfusion accounts for more than 20 per cent of the cases. The Solomon Islands Ministry of Health (MoH) has been working hard to respond to the outbreak since January. The MoH has enacted their emergency plans and requested the assistance of the NDMO to staff the hospital Emergency Operations Center (EOC) which is running 24/7. |
