In addition, people’s apathy and lack of self-discipline in dengue prevention and control are also to blame for disease outbreaks. According to Deputy Minister of Health Nguyen Thi Lien Huong, there is no specific treatment for dengue fever. Lien said current prevention and control of dengue fever mainly relies on vector prevention and control and changes in people’s behavior and habits. Countries where dengue fever is endemic have pooled a lot of resources to prevent the disease, but the results are still limited. However, the prevention and control of dengue fever remains increasingly difficult and challenging, admitted the health official.
