The venture would be conducted from house to house where trained volunteers would distribute the drugs between 06:00 and 20:00 hours.

Besides being costly it was dubbed a failure since the programme targeted the children and not the community in which they lived hence the probability of re-infection.This present day programme now aims at removing the possibility of re-infection. The Ministry of Health aims to have residents in all ten administrative Regions in Guyana de-wormed by the end June.In the initial stages it was intended that one set of volunteers would be used for the countrywide exercise but that has now changed and community members would be working within their own communities as volunteers.Ministry Ramsammy lauded the municipalities and Neighbourhood Democratic Councils in East Berbice /Corentyne for participating in the de-worming exercise.Ministry Ramsammy is appealing to residents to cooperate since it is important that everyone drink the tablets around same time.

Besides burning up $1 million per day,Cheap NFL Jerseys, the exercise offers only a temporary solution which does not eradicate the threat of dengue fever or filariasis.The mosquito responsible for spreading dengue fever cannot be killed by fogging.The true solution lies in the manner in which garbage is disposed of and how water is accumulated and stored regardless of the volume.While filariasis is rarely fatal, it is the second leading cause of permanent and long-term disability in the world. The World Health Organization (WHO) named filariasis one of only six ‘potentially eradicable’ infectious diseases and has embarked upon a 20-year campaign to eradicate the disease.The Ministry of Health in Guyana set a 2015 deadline to have this disease eliminated. In some communities there is a one and a half percent prevalence of filariasis while in others the figure may be up ten or 15 percent.During the house to house visits this weekend, volunteers would also be on the lookout for young children who have not been immunized or their shots are not up to date. This would be reported and nurses would visit the respective home to vaccinate the children.They will also lookout for the disabled persons in need of wheel chairs. This is to upgrade the register on disability and to ensure that every citizen in need of wheel chair gets one.
