Brilio.net - In Indonesia, cases of Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever (DHF) are still a serious health problem. Therefore, the public must continue to be encouraged and given education about the importance of healthy living and protecting the environment by implementing 3M Plus.
This fact is what makes Enesis Group collaborate with the Ministry of Health of the Republic of Indonesia to continue providing 3M Plus education to the public, especially elementary school age children.
Enesis Group Head of Public Relations RM Ardiantara said that Enesis Group, through the Soffell brand, emphasized that it would continue to campaign for education to the public regarding 3M Plus (Burying, Covering, Recycling and using mosquito repellent like Soffell).
"This is a collaboration between Enesis Group and the Ministry of Health to educate new healthy behavior habits, namely 3M Plus Soffell. "The hope is that when we are protected by anti-mosquito lotion, every person can freely move around without fear of being bitten by mosquitoes," he said to Brilio.net .
This activity also commemorates ASEAN Dengue Day (ADD) which is celebrated every June 15. This is a commitment from ASEAN countries to strengthen regional cooperation in efforts to control dengue fever.
In ADD 2024 activities with the theme "Making a Dengue-Free Indonesia a Reality", Enesis Group and the Indonesian Ministry of Health held a 3M Plus educational roadshow targeting 12 elementary schools in the area of West Jakarta City, Bogor City, Kab. Tangerang and Bandung City from 19 June to 24 July 2024 and closed with the peak event of the Mars 1 Rumah 1 Jumantik Movement and Song Competition which was held on 31 July 2024 at the National Library of the Republic of Indonesia, Central Jakarta.
"This year we again provided 3M Plus education to children as part of the prevention of dengue fever and then closed with the 1 House 1 Jumantik Movement and Song Competition which is not only a competition but part of continuous education to continue to unite to fight mosquitoes until the end," said Ardiantara.
Jessica Iskandar's experience of experiencing dengue fever symptoms
On the same occasion a talk show was also held with Dr. Agus Handito, SKM, M. Epid, Arbovirosis Team of the Directorate of Infectious Disease Control and Prevention (P2PM) Ministry of Health of the Republic of Indonesia, and Louis Sumantadiredja, Soffell Brand Manager with guest star Jessica Iskandar and her son El Barack.
In this talk show session, we discussed in more depth the importance of increasing public awareness of the dangers of dengue fever. Jessica Iskandar (Jedar) said that currently dengue cases are increasing. Therefore, the public needs to continue to be reminded to prevent dengue fever with 3M Plus. "It's very important to have education like this so that we are always alert and avoid being bitten by dengue mosquitoes," said Pausar.
Moreover, when he was little, Jedar experienced symptoms of dengue fever. He was sick for almost 12 days and couldn't go to school. "It wasn't really good, I was sick, weak and almost hospitalized," Jessica said in front of elementary school students.
This experience has made Jedar more alert now and always takes precautions in an easy way, namely applying anti-mosquito lotion like Soffell in the morning and eight hours later to all his family members.
"The most important thing is to always be wary of open containers at home which can become a place for mosquitoes to lay their eggs and breed," concluded Jedar.
In this activity, a Soffell efficacy test was also carried out as part of the education which proved directly that hands that have been applied with Soffell will not be bitten by mosquitoes, so it is important to protect yourself by applying anti-mosquito lotion.
This warning is an activity that the Enesis Group and the Ministry of Health will continue to carry out as part of a united commitment to fight mosquitoes to the end so as to achieve the target set by WHO, namely zero deaths from dengue by 2030.
