Massive dengue fever outbreak in the Northeast

Cambodia news in English! Here you'll find all the breaking news from Cambodia translated into English for our international readership and expat community to read and comment on. The majority of our news stories are gathered from the local Khmer newspapers, but we also bring you newsworthy media from Cambodia before you read them anywhere else. Because of the huge population of the capital city, most articles are from Phnom Penh, but Siem Reap, Sihanoukville, and Kampot often make the headlines as well. We report on all arrests and deaths of foreigners in Cambodia, and the details often come from the Cambodian police or local Khmer journalists. As an ASEAN news outlet, we also publish regional news and events from our neighboring countries. We also share local Khmer news stories that you won't find in English anywhere else. If you're looking for a certain article, you may use our site's search feature to find it quickly.

Massive dengue fever outbreak in the Northeast

Post by Kammekor »

Just came back from the Ban Lung Health center - it was literally filled up with children suffering from dengue fever. Some pretty bad. The authorities have acknowledged the problem and health center staff and medication has been sent to the remote districts where the situation is even worse.

Yesterday the authorities sent out staff with poison to clear up all houses in my town from mozzies. Unfortunately they did not send people to take a look around the houses to look for breeding grounds for the mosquitoes and teach the people about the life cycle of the mosquito.... So there will be less mosquitoes for just a few days....
